"Weird Al" Yankovic - It's All About the Pentiums

It's all about the Pentiums, baby
Uh, uh-huh, yeah
Uh, uh-huh, yeah
It's all about the Pentiums, baby
It's all about the Pentiums, baby
It's all about the Pentiums!
It's all about the Pentiums!
Yeah!!!

What y'all wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers?
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?
Workin' at the desk with a dumb little placard?
Yeah, payin' the bills
With my mad programming skills
Defraggin' my hard drive for thrills
I got me a hundred gigabytes of RAM
I never feed trolls and I don't read spam
Installed a T1 line in my house
Always at my PC
Double-clickin' on my mizouse
Upgrade my system at least twice a day
I'm strictly plug-and-play, I ain't afraid of Y2K
I'm down with Bill Gates, I call him "Money" for short
I phone him up at home
And I make him do my tech support
It's all about the Pentiums, what?
You gotta be the dumbest newbie I've ever seen
You've got white-out all over your screen
You think your Commodore 64 is really neato
What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?
You're usin' a 286? Don't make me laugh!
Your Windows boots up in, what, a day and a half?
You could back up your whole hard drive
On a floppy diskette
You're the biggest joke on the Internet
Your database is a disaster
You're waxin' your modem, tryin' to make it go faster
Hey fella, I bet you're still livin' in your parents' cellar
Downloadin' pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar
And postin' "Me too!" like some brain-dead AOL-er
I should do the world a favor
And cap you like Old Yeller
You're just about as useless
As jpegs to Helen Keller

It's all about the Pentiums!
It's all about the Pentiums!
It's all about the Pentiums!
It's all about the Pentiums!

Now, what y'all wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers?
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?

Uh, uh, loggin' in now
Wanna run wit my crew, huh?
Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?
They call me the king of the spreadsheets
Got 'em all printed out on my bedsheets
My new computer's got the clocks, it rocks
But it was obsolete before I opened the box
You say you've had your desktop for over a week?
Throw that junk away, man, it's an antique!
Your laptop is a month old? Well, that's great!
If you could use a nice, heavy paperweight
My digital media is write-protected
Every file inspected, no viruses detected
I beta-tested every operatin' system
Gave props to some, and others? I dissed 'em!
While your computer's crashin', mine's multitaskin'
It does all my work without me even askin'
Got a flat-screen monitor, 40" wide
I believe that yours says "Etch-A-Sketch" on the side
In a 32-bit world, you're a 2-bit user
You've got your own newsgroup, "alt.total-loser"
Your motherboard melts when you try to send a fax
Where'd you get your CPU?
In a box of Cracker Jacks?
Play me online? Well, you know that I'll beat you!
If I ever meet you, I'll control-alt-delete you
What? What? What? What? What?

It's all about the Pentiums!
It's all about the Pentiums!
It's all about the Pentiums!
It's all about the Pentiums!
What y'all wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers?
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?
What?

wait, why does a computer that only have about 720 KB of data [1] on it's hard drive, take one-and-a-half days to boot [2]?

[1]Your Windows boots up in, what, a day and a half?

[2]You could back up your whole hard drive / On a floppy diskette

@syahirSQRT2 - Exaggeration is a very important thing if you want to be funny.

[SOB4real]

@Enzo000000000 Indeed :3 it's called Hyperbole!

[Enzo000000000]

@SOB4real - It's one of the names for it, actually.

100GB of ram is pretty useless in a 32bit world with only 4GB addressable memory space lol. seriously though, awesome song
