The FuMP

Lyrics

Crash protection is necessary if you don’t want to lose all your data!

[verse 1: Devo]
I see you’re workin’ pretty late there, that’s great yeah
Presentation due at eight yeah, OK yeah
But that computer’s out of date there, Gateway there
Runnin’ Windows 98 there, hey wait there
One blip is all it takes yeah, the stakes here
Are pretty high when it breaks there, so take care
Better make sure that it’s saved here, just click there
On that weird little square there, no right there
I don’t wanna scare ya but back there then
Autosave wasn’t there yet but don’t despair yet
Gotta save like a caveman in his day man
Like Frink likes to say man, “Oi glayvin”
An error gets deployed yeah, you won’t enjoy it
Do more than annoy you, it can destroy you
Your backups ain’t running yet, that ain’t funny yeah
It can crash pretty sudden then you’ll be done-in yeah

[chorus 1: Devo]
Dude, that work’s good, better back that thang up
That’s a big presentation, better back that thang up
Call the IT person, back that thang up
Yo, what is you waitin’ for, back that thang up (repeat)

[verse 2: Devo]
Dude, that work’s good, better back that thang up
That’s a big presentation, better back that thang up
Make one li’l mistake yeah, is all it takes yeah
And the hard drive will flake and it all breaks yeah
If the power flickers out then you’ll shout then
Or if your cat comes around, knocks it to the ground then
Or maybe he just pees more on the keyboard
Get a shock and then he roared, can’t be restored
Or maybe you’ll get hacked there, you’ll attract there
A little virus attack there, get ransacked there
Or ransomware encrypts it, just bricks it
‘Cause a malformed image tricks it, you can’t fix it
You’ll be out of luck there, just stuck there
Won’t be sayin’ “ah shucks” there, like a schmuck there
Supervillain with a scheme there, EMP there
Blasted off from a secret lair, and wouldn’t he care
That you lost that whole show there, off to nowhere
I don’t wanna see you go there, and do it over
(chorus)

[verse 3: Luke]
I can’t believe that happened, spilled my Cap’n
Crunch in my lap and, killed my app and
Fried the whole motherboard, I shoved it forward
Freaked out and then I pulled out the power cord
Caught me off guard I’m, feeling scarred I
May have lost everything on my hard drive
Lost my documents, and my arguments
And my list of suspected communists
The blog from my Aunt Louise, and her recipes
And her porn and the list of her STDs
Can’t believe what it costs, it’s a total loss
Even the whole bootleg rip of Who’s the Boss
(crackly distorted sample of the intro music)

[chorus 2: Devo]
Dude, you’ve been hosed, should’ve backed that thang up
You’s a big fat dummy, should’ve backed that thang up
Call someone who cares, should’ve backed that thang up
I did try to warn you, man, back that thang up (repeat)

[outro] (error sound, music stops)
Luke: Hey, what happened?
Devo: The computer crashed.
Luke: What about the Li’l Wayne verse?
Devo: Looks like we lost it.
Luke: All of it?
Devo: Yup. In fact, it looks like we lost all of Li’l Wayne.
Luke: That’s a shame.
Devo: Yeah, no more Li’l Wayne. What a pity.
Luke: That’s terrible.
Devo: Yup. Just a...damn shame.
Luke: Mm-hmm.
