The Lyrics

This is a song about the latest surveillance technology scare for women and the biggest threat to the chocolate industry in like forever - a French company has created a set of bathroom scales that through wireless connections to the internet sends a tweet every time someone gets on them, letting everyone in the world who accidentally or otherwise stumbled over the right URL get to know exactly how much you've gained from that piece of cake you just couldn't resist last night. And imagine these scales combined with web cams and we'll probably have a worldwide nightmarish 24/7 anorexialympics going on before we can all say "that's quite enough, please".

A cow, from front to rear
I was so fat, the scale was hurtin'
I've spent, much dough on beer
Potato chips, I weren't avertin'
I've filled, my stomach full
And savaged each, in my reach cheese tray
But now, no more of that
Scale's tweeting my weight

Parfaits, I've had a few
And those I blame, for lard retention
I gulped, what I could go through
And cookie dough, I paid attention
I once, ate like a horse
And then I oinked, upon the scale plate
But now, no more of that
It's tweeting my weight

Yes, there's a tweet, it's like the news
It's a bit odd, but it outs the truth
And shows to all, when I've grossed out
I suck it up, and spit food out
It size' me up, and makes the call
A tweet with my weight

I've craved, I've starved and cried
I've had my fill-ings loose from grinding
And now, as pounds subside
I've had a full, rear arse behinding
To think, the scale did that
The tech today, is going haywire
The scale, the scale hates me
It's tweeting my weight

And what is the plan, what's more to come?
Will mirror shelfs, call us all bums?
Will stuff say the things, they truly feel?
Will microwaves, force us to kneel?
Let this song show, I think it blows
Scale's tweeting my weight

Yes, it tweets my weight

Excellent job, as usual. I'm not sure which is more amusing, though-- the parody, or the idea that someone spent copious money developing these things, convinced that there would actually be a market for them! ;)

Ever since my dad's stay at the hospital, our family had been going on a strict diet. I've lost over 10 lbs. so far. This songs weighs in at 555!!

(SOTM February 2010) Very good in every way, and the Twitter bathroom scale is a stupid idea.
Matthias - March 09, 2010 - Report this comment
This reason alone is why I never and will never use Twitter! They are a bunch of evil stalkers over there wanting to know what you do with every second of your day and now they force people to call you fat.... What is the world coming to. Good parody about a technology I wish I never knew existed cause now I'm pissed at Twitter even more.

SOTM "Heavy" on laughs, and "weighing" in with great ideas! $555 for the tweeter blocker software...

SOTM - Dude, this is just funny.

(SOTM) Why in the name of all that's logical would they make a set of scales like that? Who in their right mind would want to let the world know exactly how fat they are? And why do I not care in my usual way except for the fact that it created a pretty cool parody? WHY? Ahem...555!

Overall this was pretty good, I would say be careful on 'tenses' "weren't averted" particularly stood out, that aside, this was a very fun parody to one of my favorite Frank Sinatra classics.
