[Question]
  [
Write the shortest program that prints the entire [lyrics of "Never Gonna Give You Up"](http://pastebin.com/wwvdjvEj) by Rick Astley.
Rules:
* Must output the lyrics exactly as they appear in the above pastebin\*. Here's the raw dump: <http://pastebin.com/raw/wwvdjvEj>
* Cannot rely on any external resources - all lyrics must be generated by / embedded in code.
* No use of existing compression algorithms (e.g. gzip / bzip2) unless you include the full algorithm in your code.
* Use any language, shortest code wins.
Update, 1st June 2012:  
For solutions containing non-ASCII text, the size of your solution will be counted in bytes, based on UTF-8 encoding. If you use codepoints that cannot be encoded in UTF-8, your solution will not be judged as valid.
Update, 7th June 2012:  
Thank you all for your awesome solutions! I'll be accepting the shortest answer tomorrow afternoon. Right now, [Peter Taylor's GolfScript answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/6043/were-no-strangers-to-code-golf-you-know-the-rules-and-so-do-i/11549#11549) is winning, so get cracking on some improvements if you want to beat him! :)
\*There is a typo in the Pastebin (line 46, "know" should be "known"). You may either replicate it or not at your discretion.

Another search-and-replace solution. Note that this form of solution is essentially a Grammar-based Compression Code <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammar-based_code>
Check out <http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/csep590a/07au/lectures/lecture05small.pdf> for a simple to understand compression example. 
I've written the substitution rules so that the starting character for each substitution is computed (they are in sequential ASCII order); it need not be present in the transition data.

## implementation notes
* The above solution is 556 chars long, but scores 552 with the removal of newlines from source code. It is slightly better scoring than the original 556 char solution I had that scored 554.
* I use "known" instead of "know"; this makes the verse repetition identical and should make the compression better
* I originally optimized the rules by repeatedly searching for the substitution that would yield the most decrease in current code size. However, I found that RiderOfGiraffe's substitution rules were (slightly) better than mine, so I'm now using a modified version of his rules.
* I spent time reordering the rules so that a single substitution pass can decompress everything.
* Due to the computed initial character in the substitution rules, my rule list has a rule for every character in a contiguous ASCII range. I found that having some "dummy" substitution rules was better for code size than having all real rules and coding a final text fixup substitution.
* This example is small enough that you probably could successfully write a program to find the optimal (least total cost) set of rules. I would not expect doing this would yield size reductions of more than a few bytes.
## older implementation
This older implementation has 576 characters and started with substitution rules from ugoren's bash/sed implementation. Ignoring the substitution variable renaming, my first 28 substitutions are exactly the same as those performed in ugoren's program. I added a few more to lower the overall byte count. This is possible because my rules are more efficiently represented than those in ugoren's implementation.

```
I did not try optimizing the substitution rules in this one.
## contest notes
The search-and-replace decompression scheme works well for this contest because most languages have pre-built routines that can do this. With such a small amount of text to be generated, complex decompression schemes do not seem to be feasible winners.
I've used only ASCII text and also avoided using unprintable ASCII characters. With these restrictions, each character in your code can only represent up to a maximum of 6.6 bits of information; this is very different than to *real* compression techniques where you use all 8 bits. In some sense, it is not "fair" to compare to gzip/bzip2 code size because those algorithms will use all 8 bits. A fancier decompression algorithm may be possible if you can include traditionally unprintable ASCII in your strings AND each unprintable character is still written in your code as a single byte.

The above solution takes the PHP from "a sad dude" and combines it with my substitution rules. The PHP answer turns out to have the shortest decompression code. See <http://ideone.com/XoW5t>

## Bash / Sed, 705 650 588 582 chars
**Logic**:  
The basic idea is simple replacement. Instead of writing, for example, `Never gonna give you up\nNever gonna let you down`, I write `Xgive you up\nXlet you down` and replace all `X` with `Never gonna`.  
This is achieved by running `sed` with a set of rules, in the form `s/X/Never gonna /g`.  
Replacements can be nested. For example, `Never gonna` is common, but so is `gonna` in other contexts. So I can use two rules: `s/Y/ gonna/g` and `s/X/NeverY/g`.  
When adding rules, parts of the song texts are replaced by single characters, so it gets shorter. The rules become longer, but if the string replaced is long and frequent, it's worth it.  
The next step is to remove repetition from the `sed` commands themselves. The sequence `s/X/something/g` is quite repetitive.  
To make it shorter, I change sed commands to look like `Xsomething`. Then I use `sed` to convert this into a normal `sed` command. The code `sed 's#.#s/&/#;s#$#/g;#` does it.  
The final result is a `sed` command, whose arguments are generated by another `sed` command, in back-quotes.  
You can find a more detailed explanation [in this link](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ).
**Code:**
```

Notes:  
The decompression engine is just 40 characters long. The other 543 are the translation table and compressed text. `bzip2` compresses the song to 500 bytes (without the engine, of course), so there must be room for improvement (though I don't see how I'd add Huffman encoding or something like this cheap enough).  
`<<Q` (or `<<_`) is used to read until a given character. But the end of script (or backquote expression) is good enough. This sometimes causes a warning.

* Table of substitution rules where characters in the range -..\_(45..90) specify which rule to apply, thus some 48 rules (45, c-45>U48 in code), other characters are to be printed
* rules are delimited by the '&' character (38 in code, n is decremented until the zero and thus s points to the correct rule)
* rule 0 indicates that the next character should be capitalized (by setting k=32 in code), this frees up more space to add a larger continuous range of characters for rules
* main(..) is called with 1 (as per zero argument C program convention), and thus rule 1 is the root rule
## Evolution of code
* shaved a further 9 bytes off thanks to ugoren's suggestion
* shaved another 36 bytes off by creating table algorithmically rather than by hand, and via the "'" tip
* shaved another 15 bytes off by changing the table from a char\*[] into a single string where '&' delimits portions
* shaved yet another 19 bytes thanks to more tips from ugoren
* shaved 31 bytes by adding more rules, made special rule to capitalize, thus allowing more space for rule indexes.
* shaved 10 bytes off thanks to yet more tips from urgoren, and tweaking rules slightly

This is a text decompression algorithm, recursively applying the rule that `~stuff~ blah ~ ~` should be converted to `stuff blah stuff stuff` (i.e. the first time you see an unfamiliar symbol pair, it delimits what to copy; thereafter, you fill in the value when you see it).
Note: there may be an extra carriage return at the end, depending on how you count. If this is not permissible, you can drop the last one on the quote (saving one character) and change the split to `split(" ",-1)` (spending 3 characters), for 615 bytes.

So the change to the rules penalizing the use of Latin-1 kind of killed my solution. It's a different enough approach that I hate to just delete it, though, so here's a restricted version that only uses 7-bit ASCII, as per the new rules, at a *huge* increase in size.

exec"x,s=s.split('|',1);s=s.replace(chr(i),x);i-=1"*39
print s
```
After the first time that I manually produced the string(very tedious), I wrote a function to recursively find the pattern replacing which was most profitable(at that step), which gave me a solution but it turned out to increase the size by 10 chars.
So, I made my algorithm a little less greedy by instead of doing the final ranking only on 'characters reduced', ranking on a function of 'characters reduced', 'length of pattern' and 'counts of pattern'
pattern length = length
count = count
```
rank = [(length-1)*count - length - 2] + lengthWeight * length + countWeight * count
```
Then I asked my poor laptop to run infinitely, assigning random values to `lengthWeight` and `countWeight` and get different final compression sizes, and store the data for minimum compression sizes in a file
In half an hour or so it came up with the above string (I tried to tinker with it further to see if I could shorten the code), and it won't go any lower, I guess I'am missing something here.
here's my code for it, also `max_pattern` is very slow 
(Note: code spits out a string similar to form in my previous version of the solution, I manually worked through it to get the current form, by manually I mean, manually in python shell)

# Perl, ~~584~~ ~~578~~ ~~577~~ ~~576~~ ~~575~~ ~~571~~ ~~564~~ ~~554~~ ~~553~~ 540
This solution follows the same basic approach as most of the others: given an initial string, perform repeated substitutions of repeated portions of the text.
The substitution rules are specified by a single character, preferably one not occurring in the output text, so a rule of length L and occurring N times will save approximately N\*L-N-L-1 (N\*L is the original length of all occurrences, but the substitution character occurs N times, and the literal text itself has length L, and the rules are split by a separating character.) If the substitution characters are explicitly specified, then the savings is reduced to N\*L-N-L-2. Given that most languages can compute a character with chr() or similarly short code, the first approach tends to be superior.
There are some drawbacks to computing the substitution character, the most significant being the need for a continuous range of ASCII characters. The output uses mostly lowercase letters, but there are enough uppercase letters and punctuation to require either replacing a character with itself, remapping a few characters in a fixup stage afterwards, or ordering the rules such that replacements with problematic characters occur earlier. Using a language that replaces using regexes also means that there are gotchas for characters that have special meaning within a regex: `.` `+` `*` `\` `?`
My original approach had 63 bytes in the decoder and 521 in the rules. I spent a lot of time optimizing the rules, which can be tricky particularly with the short rules as they can overlap. I got the decoding down to 55 bytes and the rules down to 485 by cheating the formula a little bit. Normally, a 2-character rule that occurs 3 times or a 3-character rule that occurs twice would not actually save any length, but there is a loophole - which also allows for making up words that aren't part of the output ;-).
I do make use of control characters in this solution, so the solution is provided here base64-encoded.

However, I suspect this still isn't the minimum, as Ed H. points out that the php decoding is the shortest at 44 bytes and I have seen room for improvement in the rules he is using. I do have a 52-byte decoder in Perl but I was unable to use it for this solution as I needed to run through the range in reverse.

Not the greatest - I (now) wish python did formatting expansions like so. Alas it doesn't.
Edit: Simulated expansion with alternate formatting syntax (sort of..)

## Perl - 589 588 583 579 576 Bytes
Each rule consists of a 1 char head, a body and an underscore. As long as rules can be chopped off the beginnig, the head of the rule is replaced with its body in the rest of the Text. The head of the first rule is given, the heads of all following rules are generated from the variable $i.
Since the head for the next rule is placed on the beginning of the text by the previous rule, the last rule will create a character that wont be removed anymore. I had to chose a range of names where the last one would be "W", so i could remove the original "W" from the start of the lyrics, and had it replaced by the rule substitution.
The encoding was done by a Python script using a simple hillclimbing algorithm.
Here is the Perl code:

while not done:
    done = True
    best = (0, None)
    for m in xrange(1, len(text) / 2 + 1):
        counter = collections.Counter()
        for i in xrange(0, len(text) - m + 1):
            snippet=text[i:i+m]
            if not '_' in snippet:
                counter[snippet] += 1
        for snippet in counter:
            n = counter[snippet]
            gain = n * m - n - (m + 1)
            if gain > best[0]:
                actual_gain = len(text) - len(text.replace(snippet,"")) - n - (m + 1)
                if actual_gain > best[0]:
                    best=(actual_gain, snippet)

## Python, 573 chars
My `sed` solution won't go any further, and it was beaten by several people, so I went for a new approach.  
Unfortunately, it's only good enough for 2nd 3rd place (as of now) - [Ed H. is still much ahead of me](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/6166/3544).  
```

```
**Notes**:  
1. The main idea was borrowed from Ed H. - using consecutive characters for replacement, instead of specifying them in each replacement rule.
2. My way to deal with characters which exist in the song is different from Ed's - I simply make sure to translate each to itself (and if it's always followed by something, add it as well, which only worked for `W`).
3. The code is generated by a script that looks for good translations. At first, I used a greedy algorithm, which simply takes the one that gives the best reduction. Then I've found that tweaking it to prefer longer strings improves it a little. I guess it's still not optimal.

# C# - 605 characters | T-SQL - 795 characters | C# - 732 characters | C# - 659 characters
The inspiration for this came from the sed example. The only major change I made from that was making the lookups consecutive ASCII characters so they didn't have to be declared. Unfortunately, it is C#, so I don't know how to make it smaller. I took the same replace text and did the code in T-SQL using a temp table.
```

SELECT @s = REPLACE(@s, CHAR(#t.i), #t.t) FROM #t
PRINT @s
```
C# - Second Try
This was try at a different approach. The compression was done entirely by the computer seeking the best replacements. The lookups are sequential and ordered by size so there is no need for delimted lookup, however, the code to do the lookups was less efficient than I thought so it ended up costing 127 more characters overall! Live and learn.

3rd try at C#. This time I expiremented with \b,\r,\t characters. You can use \rN\n to replace the first character on the line with a capital N, but it didn't actually save characters. I created \b aliases to move the cursor back and then write over existing text. But none of this saved space and in the end I was still worse off than a simple search-and-replace strategy.

## GolfScript (511 bytes)
This uses a change of base to pack the bits in, so it includes characters which aren't in ASCII. However, it isn't appropriate to score those characters by their UTF-8 encoding because the interpreter treats the program as ISO-8859-1. For this reason I've specified the length in bytes rather than characters.
Base-64 encoded:

I changes some common words and phrases with cyrilic letters and then changed them back with the replace() function.
After I shorten the lyrics, I shortened my program with the same method, and execute the code with eval().

This is an iterative symbol expansion. For each of the 28 characters of the string in the first argument to `gsub!`, all occurrences of that character in `_` are replaced by the appropriate section of the second string (separated by `+` characters).
