On the Laravel News site they've posted an article sharing a series of podcasts dubbed the "Road to Laracon" where hosts Jacob Bennett and Michael Dyrynda talked with Laracon US 2017 speakers and asked them to suggest one song to use in the playlist.

Next week is Laracon US, and Jacob Bennett and Michael Dyrynda have been interviewing many of the speakers on the podcast. As part of the interview, they’ve asked the speakers to pick a few of their favorite songs and put it together in a Spotify playlist.

It features twenty-three songs and is an hour and forty-three minutes of listening pleasure and I enjoy trying to match the song to the speaker.

If you'd like to hear the interviews with some of the speakers, they've linked to a few at the end of the post including Freek Van der Herten, Jack McDade and Laura Elizabeth.

If you're a PHP developer and you haven't heard the PHP "anthem" yet, you should have a listen. Chris Shiflett has put together a blog post about it and includes the lyrics and links to download the song/watch it on YouTube.

Yesterday on IRC, Andrei Zmievski mentioned a new song about PHP. Sean Coates linked to a YouTube video with the song, which I then mentioned on Twitter. [...] If you haven't listened yet, take a moment to do so.

The song is by Lee Fernandez (@reelfernandes) who will be interviewed in an upcoming episode of the Pique Web podcast.
