Funny song aboout being inundated and overwhelmed with technology.

Lyrics

VERSE 1:

Everybody, hold up your cell phones
Turn off the riger, turn on the video
I want to see 200 versions of this show
Splattered all over youtube tomorrow....

I was workin' online, I was talkin' on bluetooth
I had windows open in iTunes, and Yahoo
Tech support called, started talkin' in code
That was the beginning of brain overload

My blackberry's hi-def digital camera
Was spittin out photos from my printer-fax-scanner
The tech support guy was still yakkin' away
Lost in translation all the way from Bombay

I had to break out of this techno mood
I needed something primal, like a big hunk of food
But for a nano-moment I forgot where it is
So I googled directions from my den to my fridge

I was so fried I wondered how much bandwidth
It would take for my ipod to download a sandwich
And deep in my hard drive a feeling took root
That my brain just might crash if I didn't reboot.

CHORUS 1:

All this hyper technology is streaming me crazy
I've picked up a virus called "cyber-spacey."
The neuro transmitters in my cerebellum
Are making gray matter chatter but nothing is jellin'
These gizmos and gigabytes are geeking me out
Single-tasking's so obsolete now
I need to slow my life down to a blur
I got an analog brain in a digital world

VERSE 2:

I jumped in my hybrid turned on satellite radio
Strapped on my headset and fired up my cell phone
Almost ran over my wife on her segway
The dashboard lit up, said I was low on latte

Where was Starbucks I could only guess
My PDA can't do GPS
So I stopped for directions and wandered in here
And wound up singing to you, isn't that weird?

CHORUS 2:

All this hyper technology's starting to pile up
The plant's on broadband, my head's on dial-up
Dot coms, dot orgs it's hard to keep track
People wearin' headsets surgically attached
These gizmos and gigabytes are geeking me out
Single-tasking's so obsolete now
I need to slow my life down to a blur
I got an analog brain in a digital world

Friends, if this story seems complicated
Or of the confusion seems understated
Or if to any part you have related
I got bad news: your brain is outdated

REPEAT CHORUS 1
