New Music 2012 - Part 12 - "Oh, internet" - A love song

Not much could amuse me more than reposting this without further comment.

Later:  It is a long time since I've added lyrics to a post, so here they are:
  
OOOH INTERNET 
OOOH INTERNET 
  
this constant refresh well they say it's the death of us, baby 
but I like what you do and the way that you change on the daily 
when I walk down the street only strangers I meet 
but I can shake loneliness in just a tweet
  
internet 
i don't want to lose you 
  
oh internet 
if you were a pokémon I'd choose you 
  
oh internet 
keep me on your feed 
I synch to you pretty much constantly 
  
OOOH INTERNET 
OOOH INTERNET 
  
every now and then I go and check on the mail 
cause when there are physical letters consistency fails 
oh these bills everyday, 
lest they be autopay 
are easy to ignore 
....anyway
  
internet 
i don't want to lose you 
  
OOO INTERNET 
    
oh internet 
you're the only love that's true 
    
oh internet 
i'd make out with your face 
later tonight let's meet in cyberspace 
      
oh but I can't get by unless there's wifi 
is this a drug that I need 
there is no other way 
I am at home all day 
so that my torrents can seed 
you just don't get it 
cause you're not on reddit 
and if you want me to go out 
just make sure that there's 
     
internet 
i don't want to lose you 
     
OOH INTERNET 
   
oh internet 
boo boo be boo boo-boop 
   
OOH INTERNET 
   
oh internet 
I wrote you this song 
and if you like it then you all can sing along.
   
Enjoy. Music is easy to take much too seriously and yet the themes it carries often very easy to dismiss. This is presented tongue-in-cheek and that is certainly no bad thing.   The imagined destructive power of new technology has long been over-estimated and its benefits under-sold. Neither is the way in which it starts reactionary.
