Rasputin

Rasputin is a accidental Brainfuck semi-joke variant that literally only uses lyrics from Boney M's song, Rasputin. The reason why it is accidental is because I, User:A random guy, literally didn't realized I made a single-slot memory version of Brainfuck until it was too late.
Basics of Rasputin
Rasputin, just like Brainfuck, has a pointer, but unlike Brainfuck, it has one singular cell of memory, needs a indicator for when the program ends, plus needs indentation for it's loops, like Python, and other new things that will be explained below:
Here are the basic commands for Rasputin:
| Command/Instruction | Action |
|---|---|
| Ra | Bumps up a selected array slot by one. |
| Rasputin | Bumps down a selected array slot by one |
| There lived a certain man in Russia long ago | Saves array slot into the selector’s single slot memory |
| "This man's just gotta go" | Replaces whatever array slot the selector is on with what is in the selector’s memory slot. |
| "Don't you try to do it, please" | Resets the memory slot back to 0. |
| There was a cat that really was gone | Resets the current array slot the Selector is on back to 0. |
| Lover of the Russian Queen | Duplicates a array slot and adds it to itself. |
| But to Moscow Chicks he was such a lovely dear | Adds the array slot that the selector is on with the slot in the selector’s memory slot. |
| Most people looked at him with terror and fear | Subtracts the array slot that the selector is on with the slot in the selector’s memory slot. |
| Set a trap, they're not to blame | Inverts the sign of a array slot. |
| Russia's greatest love machine | Prints out what is in the memory slot. |
| He could preach the Bible like a preacher | Converts what is in memory into ASCII characters. |
| Oh... Those Russians... | Literally ends the program. |
| Command/Instruction | Action |
|---|---|
| "I feel fine" | Moves right. |
| It was a shame how he carried on | Moves left. |
| Command/Instruction | Action |
|---|---|
| And he really came | A loop. |
| Though she'd heard the things he done | A loop that loops (the number that is in the selector's memory slot) times, and cannot be edited again by iterations of a greater loop. |
| And so they shot him till he was dead | Ends any kind of loop. |
| Command/Instruction | Action |
|---|---|
| Hey! | Sets the base to Base (amount of times Hey! is repeated), this allows you to print IN that base. (Can use any valid base that isn't 1 or 0. It can however, use any other base.) This must ALWAYS be used at the start to specify what base you are using, but afterwards, you can use it as many times as you want to shift what base you are using. (This action also makes the entire unbounded array be represented in that base) |
| But he also was the kind of teacher | Makes the program concatenate a character every time a output is done until this is changed. |
| Women would desire | Makes the output print line by line until this is changed. This is the default method of output used. |
The quotes ("") in Rasputin do not represent strings at all, but instead were wrapped around such lines in the website that I used that had the lyrics of the song.
That is practically it for Rasputin. Time for the code.
