MSN Messenger
It’s 2005, and I’ve just fallen in love. That’s right
Just because I’m only 11 years old, doesn’t mean I don’t know what makin' love feels like. It feels like
Eatin' a delicious cheeseburger
It feels like eating a cheeseburger. Or watching parkour videos for
3 hours straight on the internet
That’s what makin' love feels like, I... I reckon
Got home late, it’s a quarter to 8
I'm usually back at 5 but I had after-school swimming practice
My coach Mario is from Peru, he's so cool
He can make a funny bird noise with his mouth
I know it's breaking the rules to compute before my tea time
(time, time, time)
But girl you know I'm a fool for using hypermodern tools to commune with you online
I'll be waiting on the MSN messenger
And we're gonna raise the temperature
Girl it's always triple X when I message ya
'Cause I always put three kisses at the end of them
(4 if I’m brave enough)
MSN messenger (hey boy)
Pretty sure I'm impressing ya
Every word abbreviated for your pleasure
I’m a SK8RBOI my TXT ABBRVS are always clear and DRTNPR
"Hi"
"Hey"
"U k?"
"Gdgd, u?"
"Gdgd"
"Kewl"
"G2G"
"K"
If brevity's the soul of wit, I must be
The funniest motherlover on this motherlovin' (hah hah hah) planet
You and me, communicating electronically
The pinnacle of modernity, man I can see this
Thing lasting for eternity and certainly
Not being discontinued in 2013
Yeah there's no way this tool could ever be replaced by something better, no
(no, no no)
'Cause what could be clearer than a doughnut appearing every time you try to type the letter O?
So just meet me on the MSN Messenger
There's no message more instanter
You just type a winky face and then press enter
It'll be there in a second or a minute if you’re still on dial-up
Fast forward to 2085
Everything's different. Technology has accelerated beyond our wildest dreams. You don't even need a desktop computer to use MSN Messenger anymore
MSN Messenger pods rise up from the street. Many have had it installed in their brain via microchips. You can just think of a Nudge, and it makes your friend's head vibrate aggressively. This is the future!
And here I am, 90 years old. Just a hot old male with an old hotmail, and the exact same low-res display picture taken on my mother's webcam in 2004
Waiting for groovychick95 to come back online
You're probably happy somewhere. Married to some sk8rboi93, watching your little groovychick sk8rboi grandkids grow up. But know this. Technology rushes past us like a blink in the eye of a world that's looking too far forward to see the now
But I'm still waiting here. Waiting. On the MSN Messenger
