Framerate For Nothin' - Parody of Money For Nothin' by Dire Straits
Written by Darth Boots & DrKilljoy
This is related to computer stuff. Techies like me will get a laugh out of it, in theory. It's kind of written as though it were the 80s or 90s, when things like CRT monitors and tape drives were the bomb. And yes, it's written based on the 8 1/2 minute version of MFN, not that short piece of shit they play on the radio.
This is the 4th and current version, and the only parody to date that I've co-written with someone. I wrote the original lyrics, sent it to him, he made some suggestions, we talked about a few things and after a few revisions, we've got it down to this masterpiece. Enjoy.

I want my, I want my AGP.
Heh
Now look at that laggin', that's not how you do it
You use the PC with an AGP.
That ain't laggin', that's the way you do it
Framerate for nothing and your clocks for free
Now that ain't laggin', that's the way you do it
Let me tell you them guys are pro
Baby get a heatsink on your Pentium 3
Maybe get a case fan that can blow
We got to install IDE Hard drives
Custom building PC machines
We got to use these ribbon cables
We got to use these install CDs
The little techie with the glasses and the acne
Yeah buddy, that's his own rig
That little techie got his own T1 line
That little techie he's a network admin
We got to install IDE Hard drives
Custom building PC machines
We got to use these ribbon cables
We got to use these install CDs
We got to install IDE Hard drives
Custom building PC machines
We got to use these ribbon cables
We got to use these install CDs
Look at that, look at that
I should have learned to use a router
I should have learned to use Linux
Look at that display, he got it, runnin’ on a CRT
Man, he can run some games
And that up there, what's that? Two backup tape drives?
They're storing all that data like a library
Oh, that ain't laggin', that's the way you do it
Get your framerate for nothing get your clocks for free
We got to install IDE Hard drives
Custom building PC machines
We got to use these ribbon cables
We got to use these install CDs
Listen here
Now that ain't laggin, that's the way you do it
You use the PC with an AGP.
That ain't laggin', that's the way you do it
Framerate for nothing and your clocks for free
Framerate for nothing clocks for free
Get your framerate for nothing, get your clocks for free
Framerate for nothing, clocks for free
Look at that, look at that
Get your framerate for nothing, get your clocks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my AGP)
Framerate for nothing and clocks for free
Easy, easy
That ain't laggin'
I want my, I want my AGP.
Heh
Now look at that laggin', that's not how you do it
You use the PC with an AGP.
That ain't laggin', that's the way you do it
