***************************
When the Cotillion arrived
We threw out the television
Model D 575
Has custom flute presets
And Harmony-Plus in addition

Now for an arm and a leg
We get three half-dozen beats to choose from
So now we can pretend
That there's an orchestra in the loungeroom

I put the Genie Bass on
So my left hand can play the choir
With 16ft Diapason
And Lowrey's patented Orchestral Symphonizer

Banjo's great on repeat
The kids want to play but they'll have to be patient
The wife can't help tapping her feet
It's a genuine home entertainment revelation

State of the art
(Hold the phone, it's so)
State of the art
[Listen to the difference!]
(Oh my god, it's so)
State of the art
[By use of a computer]
State of the art

Now we don't want to go out
When we could spend the night at home with the Cotillion
Invite the neighbours around
Start the bossanova beat and limbo from the living to the kitchen

Enjoy the state of the art
The Magic Swing Piano really is astounding
Now we can't tell them apart
But these amazing simulations end up sounding even better than the real thing

State of the art
(Hold the phone, it's so)
[Computer controlled tone colour]
State of the art
[The marriage of music to computers is quite natural]
(Oh my god, it's so)
State of the art
[It is time to hear the results]

Consumerism, technology have change the way the world works. More automation less soul. We are becoming part of a big system, just how the family end up being robots.

Theres a new gadget everyday. And those gadget are 'even better than the real thing' for example Facebook.... we end up spending more time in our computers than in the real thing. thats what i get

[SpudOfTheIrish]

Don't buy an electronic organ, because it will eat your family and destroy your house.

[theCrazyStuffVideos]

i agree with you to an extent. however i find it ironic that you say this through a youtube comment, proving technology is even a part of your life, and your using it right now. perhaps it isnt always a bad thing?

[pkmnfreak96]

I think this song is supposed to do something with the technology today were we r so into it we practically r the technology

[strgzr2012]

I just love how absolutely political all of gotye's stuff is. Especially this. Wow.

[Tom Goggin]

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard, and written about a Lowrey organ... Lol just great!

[AcousticDJHedgehog]

Well, the song itself is just about an old piano.
