Please, read the guidelines before you double-violate.
This article has been around all day now, and if moderators haven't seen it yet, they probably will once they get online. And if they have seen it, well, that would make it an okay article, I suppose... (Wouldn't be too happy with the latter, so I'm hoping that they just haven't seen it yet.)
This HN submission -> deleted
nuke this shit back to digg, where it belongs.
Isn't the internet awesome! From about 200 friends on Twitter to international ironic t-shirt baroness in one move. Love it.
Nothing wrong with a little fun before it gets flagged.
I really love the connection between popular culture and things only we can appreciate, flow charts, Venn diagrams, bar charts, etc. In addition to the laughs, makes the world seem a little smaller.
I wonder how many other elementary graph structures also have popular songs.
K2 (directed) is a good model for Fatboy Slim's Funk Soul Brother

Then encode each line of the lyrics as ordered pairs of start index and length values:
(0,4) (10,3)
(4,4) (10,3)
(8,2) (10,3)
(4,4) (13,4)
(17,4) (33,2)
(21,4) (33,2)
(25,4) (33,2)
(27,6) (33,2)
(35,9)
(44,4)
(45,3)
(48,3) (33,2)
(49,2) (33,2)
(51,3) (33,2)
(0,4) (10,2) (13,1)
(54,2) (33,2)
Since the dictionary is 56 characters long, this compression scheme is amenable to base64 encoding of the start-length pairs for 7-bit ASCII transmission channels, or packed binary representation for an even more compact representation.
OK, it is just a bit of fun and maybe not very HN-like, but I can imagine it did take quite a bit of thought to make and it is a powerful representation.
If only every business/technical illustration I saw at work was as clear and concise as this was...
