Obsolete
Written and performed by
Jan Eiken, Ed Kocol and Daryl Greenway
Chorus
It still works well
There's no support
Toss it away
Back to the store before...
V1
Tech marches on
Last week's phone has come and gone
And the next big thing is on the way
But you know where we'll be come launch day?
We'll be camping out before the dawn
To buy before my friends awake
Before they even Yawn
It's 5am for heaven's sake
Chorus
V2
All you need is RAM (ram is all you need)
The home PC is homeless and they don't give a damn
Tablets rise as laptops wane
Servers crash but the cloud remains
i don't know where my data's gone
I've been hacked but I'll soldier on
Updates all the time
Faster, smaller, thinner, lighter, they really are sublime
Chorus
Middle bit
What do i do with the useless pile of junk cluttering up my man cave...I mean garage
i could give the neighbors a yard sale but I'd have to deal with the barrage
Of requests for some better stuff, them stomping off in a huff
While I shove all this obsolete junk in a trunk
Chorus
Coda
I'm sitting on the edge of my seat
Waiting til we become obso.............

Enjoyable little ditty that translates well with your normal quality and standard.
 
A round of applause to you all.
 
Thanks for sharing
 
 
 
 
Note the above is probably all now wrong or obsolete because of a remix.

I enjoyed this, it was made better by the fact that BAPU was behind the mic instead of in front of it. I'm not sure about the low-fi affect on the vox. I see where you were going with the effect, so maybe it works.

haha!  EGGS-CELLANT!
 
this has a "Buggles" Vibe to it (I loved the Buggles!)
 
and a little island twist in there with the uke!
 
there's so much in this it's just incredible how you've put it all together!
 
Bravo, Gentlemen!  (and bapu!)

Thanks Jablowmi19 - Bapu is my mate and i feel like I need to defend him - he has a voice full of character and a fabulous pair of moobs.
