| Original Song Title: | "Showdown" |
| Original Performer: | E.L.O. |
| Parody Song Title: | "Slowdown" |
| Parody Written by: | Mikey Squirrel |
I cursed to my monitor, at problems that should not occur
Every chip on the board was fried, there's gonna be a slowdown
Low speed of internet, looks like I need more components yet
Looks as though I'll be more in debt, I'm headed for a slowdown
Chorus:
And it's beeping, all through my computer
Beeping, all through my computer, and I, can't make it stop
I can't find the warranty, I think it's already obsolete
This piece of junk is irritating me, gonna be a slowdown
Shut down, oh shut down, just hit control-alt-delete
Before there is a slowdown
(chorus)
Beeping, beeping, beeping, beeping, beeping, beeping
(chorus)
I gotta defrag it now, I should have had an anti-virus program, Ah, it's all screwed up
I can't afford to fix it, what a piece a junk, I'm gonna blow it up
There's not enough ram, I wish I had a Pentium
Every chip on the board was fried, there's gonna be a slowdown
Low speed of internet, looks like I need more components yet
Looks as though I'll be more in debt, I'm headed for a slowdown
Chorus:
And it's beeping, all through my computer
Beeping, all through my computer, and I, can't make it stop
I can't find the warranty, I think it's already obsolete
This piece of junk is irritating me, gonna be a slowdown
Shut down, oh shut down, just hit control-alt-delete
Before there is a slowdown
(chorus)
Beeping, beeping, beeping, beeping, beeping, beeping
(chorus)
I gotta defrag it now, I should have had an anti-virus program, Ah, it's all screwed up
I can't afford to fix it, what a piece a junk, I'm gonna blow it up
There's not enough ram, I wish I had a Pentium

I wouldn't expect many comments for old bands like ELO. For those who saw the hilarious Farrelly Bros. movie 'Kingpin' they used this OS in the movie; where Woody Harrelson was in the bowling tournament. Classic movie, classic song. Give it a listen.
(ABC) DKTOS, but it's good.
(ABC) It WAS an unknown to me, but I found the song and like it. You have a good parody to it.
Thank you Adagio. My old piece of crap Celron computer was a great inspiration for this piece.
(ABC-S) "I can't find the warranty, I think it's already obsolete" And so is the world of electronics and computers. Honestly, this was a very well written parody, and excellent pacing. It was funny, the song in it's nature is short though so while I loved it, I wish it was longer. . .but deffinitely a great parody, and after reading the ABC-R entry, this one is really golden Mikey Squirrel!
Computers, computers, should be called compukers. Feisty 5s.
(ABC3) L'eme d'l a 555 for ya.
Thanks Dave, Yoidy and Agri!
(ABC-S) DKTOS, but it looked good.
Your computer drives just like an old man/ so determined just to hold you up.... Didn't take me long to load up the 5's, though.----MM
(ABC3-S) DKTOS, but I understand what you've been through. Good job!
(ABC3S) you get my admiration just for using a "obsolete/control-alt-delete" couplet, Mikey - 555
(ABC) Looks like lots of folks decided to RAM fives down your port -- here's another packet!
(ABC) Been there, hated it. Liked your parody about it though. 555
Lots of fine rhyming here, Mikey, and to a very relateable topic. Not lol funny, but very well written, and I didn't slow down your train of 5s. 555.
It was a crash, It was a system crash!
I can certainly relate to this as Red Ant said...typical day at work for me!
Short but sweet. 5s
