Silicon Valley Guy
Spoken: Hey, anybody seen my beeper?
Sung:
Valley Guy, he's a valley guy
Silicon Valley guy
Flip on tie, and tennis shoes
Thinks he's flip ----------- (not sure about these two)
but he's blown a fuse
Hangs out at the Radio Shack
buyin' chips for his UNIVAC
He's a...
Spoken: Naw, that one's not mine. Well anyway, it was complete chip burnout with floppy disk failure. A real total system dump, you know? For certain! And I told the output user, "Hey, would I de-res my own program? C'mon man, don't call me, call PG&E! Hey, go somewhere and have a meltdown, man, like, burn out!" Then I went down to the Shack to get some sub-dip-miniature relays? And get this, the salesman gave me a new plastic pocket protector!
Sung:
Look out Intel, here he comes
He's the king of computer runs
Got his degree from M.I.T.
Knows square roots to infinity
Spoken: I scanned that new program down in word processing? The one with the huge memory banks? Yea--Julie! Punch my code, I am certain! When I first saw her I thought, "Woa! Give me a microsecond, could I trip her kip relay or what?" She sorta smiles at me and I'm thinking, "I have got to access this chick." But should I go subroutine or main program, you know? So I just suddenly invade her spacial arena and introduce myself for starts. Hi, I'm Ray Fifo.
Sung:
Valley Guy, he's a valley guy
Silicon Valley guy
Flip on tie, and tennis shoes
Thinks he's flip ----------- (still not sure about these two)
but he's blown a fuse
Hangs out at the Radio Shack
buyin' chips for his UNIVAC
He's a...
Spoken: So after a few casual edit statements, I can tell this unit really digs me. I mean it's modem to the max, the program computes, right? We make plans to meet at her place and I get there and she is online, I mean, like, she's wearing all this software. I'm calculating the access time to her front-end processor and there is phase jitter entering all my charge couple devices! Her ambia-temperature's (?) rising! And she is alpha-fluxing right before my eyes! We skipped dinner.
Sung:
Look out Intel, here he comes
He's the king of computer runs
Got his degree from M.I.T.
Knows square roots to infinity
Spoken:After a RAM refresh time interval she says to me, "Ray, I'm all decoded now. I think yo better go" And I say, "OK program, I can handle the end sum." "And Ray," she says, "I hope you won't de-res me in the morning." And I say, "Moi? De-res a cute litte program like you? Hey, I'm a Silicon Valley Guy."
Sung:
Valley guy, he's a valley Guy
Silcon Valley guy (continues to end)
Spoken:
Come here you catalystic data, you! Give master control a little phase jitter. Punch my code! Did I ever show you my cathode ray? It is really tubular! Gag me with a microchip. Hey, where is my beeper?
