The Video

I actually tried to make a video of this. Perhaps in a while i'll reconstruct enough of the first rough draft of it to place it here.
Not a Kiss-off Song this time, but a You Can't Get Rid of Me song, done in a more 70s style. This was supposed to be hi-tech satire. It's so anachronistic now it's unintentionally funny. See how many totally obsolete "newfangled gizmos" you can count in this song, full of the not-quite-latest technology. You may not be old enough to remember half of them.

 

Over the
Wire

 

 

I'm coming over the wire
I'm coming close to the ground,
I'm coming faster than sound
I'm coming over the line
You're gonna have to receive, you're gonna have to believe in me now
Yeah, you can pull your telephone out of the wall
Yeah, you can throw your TV set out in the hall
Yeah, but there's no way to escape when I call
Yeah, you know you can't get away from me.

I'm taking over your network
I'm on your microwave like, where your appliances think
I'm on your satellite beam
I'm everywhere you can go You can't pretend you don't know what I mean
Yeah, and there's no way to ignore me again
Yeah, and it's no use if yo utry to pretend
Yeah, you're gonna hear me whenever I send
Yeah, and you can't get away from me

I'm coming after you
Yeah, I'm coming after you
There ain't no way you can jam me
There ain't no way you can jam me
I'm coming after you
There ain't no way you can jam me
I'm on the wire, I'm everywhere.

I'm coming out of your speakers
I'm out on every band, broadcast from every land.
I'm in the lights of your sneakers
I'm flashing fit to explode In International Code
Yeah, you can pull your shoes off and throw them away,
Yeah, you can toss your vacuum cleaner into the Bay,
Yeah, but I can always get to you someway
Yeah, you know you can't get away from me.

I'm dominating your system
I'm on your system hard disk
Where all your software exists
I'm on your old VCR
I'm on your oven's readout I'm on the radio out in your car.
Yeah, I'm taking over your electrical world
Yeah, and you'll be sorry you messed with this girl
Yeah, I'm gonna hammer your ears till they curl
Yeah, and you can't get away from me

I'm coming after you... I'm on the wire, I'm everywhere.

I'm coming over the wire
I'm coming close to the ground,
I'm coming faster than sound
I'm coming over the line
You're gonna have to receive, you're gonna have to believe in me now
Yeah, you can throw your Walkman out onto the street
Yeah, you can smash your radio under your feet
Yeah, but you're gonna have to admit your defeat
Yeah, you know you can't get away from me.
