FRIGIDAIRE TONIGHT (ie Phil Collins as an appliantologist singing a cautionary tale about an unprepared tech)
(click video then scroll down to the lyrics)
Got a call to fix a Frigidaire tonight, oh Lord
Should have prepared for this moment at Samurai's site, oh Lord
Here I come to fix your Frigidaire tonight, oh Lord , oh Lord
Well you told me your fresh food was freezing, asked if I would lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
So when I get there and I saw what it did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you better wipe off that grin 'cause I don't think I'll win
For this manual is a pack of lies.
Got a call to fix a Frigidaire tonight, oh Lord
Should've prepared for this moment at Samurai's site, oh Lord
But I come to fix your Frigidaire tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been dreading of this moment with all my might, oh Lord, oh Lord
I must remember, I must remember to test lest I will forget
Check first the damper, the ADC, the fridge thermostat
Still don't know the reason why the fan won't silence up,
it's trying to fool me
Well the answer won't show, and the frost still grows
It's the strangest damn thing to me
Got a call to fix a Frigidaire tonight, oh Lord
Should've prepared for this moment at Samurai's site, oh Lord
Here I come to fix your Frigidaire tonight, oh Lord
I've been dreading of this moment with all my might, oh Lord, oh Lord
Still I come to fix Your Frigidaire tonight, oh Lord
Should have prepared for this moment at Samurai's site, oh Lord, oh Lord
Got a call to fix a Frigidaaiirree! Got a call to fix a Frigidaaiiiirrre!
Well I've been dreading of this moment with all my might ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight ight iiiiiiight!
Should have prepared for this moment at Samurai's site.... at his siiiiiiiiiite...
WITH JUST A FEW OF US
or if Grover Washington Jr (featuring Bill Withers) was an Appliantologist
(scroll, down and watch the video of brother KurtiusInterupptus show us just a taste of his amazing chops... and I mean this is but a fraction of what this dude can do! )
Your freezer's temps will not fall
Fresh food side won't cool at all
We know you think your fridge is through
To make that decision in your mind
We think you should give it a little time
And let us spend that time with you
With Just a few of us
You can fix it if you try
With just a few of us
(With just a few of us)
With just a few of us
Sending help from out the sky
With just a few of us
And Samurai.
Use our help, no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no compressor go.
Good things might come to those who wait
Not for those who wait too late
So put to use the things we know
With just a few of us
You can fix it if you try
With just a few of us
(With just a few of us)
With just a few of us
Sending help from out the sky
With just a few of us
And Samurai.
You still don't hear ice cubes fall
In your fridge down the hall
Condensation grows like morning dew
But through our help when the morning comes
By the time you see the morning sun
Your fridge will cool as if brand new.
With Just a few of us
You have fixed it 'cause you tried
With just a few of us
(With just a few of us)
With just a few of us
Sent down help from way up high
Just a few of us
And Samurai.
With just a few of us
Yeaaaaaahhhhh just a few of uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussssss!
Will fix it together baby.... yeah!
Yeeaaaaaahhhh, with just a few of us........... hey!
GOTTA HAVE A PUMP... ie George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic as Appliantologists
Money for Nothing
or what if Dire Straights were appliantogists.
(I want my old Geee Eeee)
Now look at them yo-yo's, that's the way you do it
You push those buttons on that new LG
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Money for nothin', and your checks for free.
Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb.
We gotta open up washers... fridges...ovens.
Change all the parts and fix if lucky.
But how you fix them new refrigerators?
What's that one got, a color T.V.?? (repeat verse)
I shoulda learned to use diagnostics
I shoulda learned to use my thumbs
Look at that guy, he's got diagrams on camera?
Man, I need to get me one.
And he's up there, what's that? Beeping noises?
He's bangin' on those buttons like a chimpanzee
Oh that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin', and your checks for free.
We gotta open up washers... fridges...ovens.
Change all the parts and fix if lucky.
But how you fix new refrigerators?
What's that thing there, a color T.V.??.
(guitar solo and a loud "yeeeee hawwww!")
Listen here
Now that ain't workin', that's the way to do it
You push those buttons on that new LG
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Money for nothin', and your checks for free
Money for nothin', large checks for free
Get your Money for nothin', large checks for free
look at that.... look at that..
Money for nothin', large checks for free
I want my... , I want my... , I want my old GE
I want my... , I want my... , I want my old GE
What a Wonderful Whirl(pool) ie Satchmo reflecting on his beloved direct drive Whirlpool washer he owned for years
I see GE's of green, red Bosch's too
All of them for sale, should I recycle you?
And I think to myself
What a wonderful Whirl
I see Samsungs of blue, and LG's of white
Not to buy one today, takes all of my might
Then I think to myself
What a wonderful Whirl
The colors of new washers, so pretty as the sky
They work great for a moment, then breakdown and die
I see salesmen asking, "How do you do?"
They're really sayin' , "come, we'll sucker you."
I hear buyers cryin' from spending lots of dough
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful Whirl
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful Whirl
Oh yeah
Thinking about buying another and very expensive dolly. Then I came to the conclusion that I'll keep the one I have for a bit longer. It's been good to me. Anyway, someone stole my stereo out of my truck a while back. I'm still devastated. so until I replace it, i entertain myself by coming up with silly songs.. and you guys must suffer and feel my pain so.....
Hello Appliance Dolly ie If the great Louis Satchmo Armstrong was an appliantologist
I said hello, dolly,......well, hello, dolly
It's so nice you keep my back where it belongs
You're lookin' swell, dolly.......I can tell, dolly
You're still strollin'...you're still rollin'...you're still goin' strong
You keep the fridge from swayin'.. although your cinch-band is frayin'
From an accident we had once way back when
So.... connect the strap, fellas.......buckle up the snaps, fellas
Then dolly'll never roll away again.....
(trumpet solo while I do the ol' soft shoe routine)
.............................................
So.... connect the strap, fellas.......buckle up the snaps, fellas
Then dolly'll never roll away........let another fridge fall away
and I'll never owe a customer all my pay, again.
