letra de my parents bought me intellivision - the great luke ski

twas the month before christmas. 1980
my big sister amy and kid brother j.t
and i were all busy writing letters to santa
hoping to get stuff from that jolly phantom
amy liked clothes, and j.t. liked cars
and i liked cartoons, but agreement was ours
that the thing we all wanted most right where we are, we
all wanted a 2600 atari
all our friends had ’em, and they all had known
what it’s like to have an arcade in your own home
the big morning came, and we all laid our eyes
on our presents we opened to find a surprise!

[spoken:] yes, yes, it’s, it’s… noooo!

my parents bought me intellivision!
how could they possibly screw this up?
my parents bought me intellivision!
i was six years old, saying “what the f-[bleep]?!”
my parents bought me intellivision!
soon i had to endure grade schooler retorts
my parents bought me intellivision!
because my mom and dad read consumer reports

[insane ian:] ha ha! you controller looks like a phone!
[devo spice:] should be called “stupidvision”!
[shoebox:] oooh! a game system from the same company that makes barbie!
at school i was picked on, got called names
since they all had atari, i couldn’t trade games
well i wasn’t just going to sit around bored
so i grabbed the controller with its curly cord
hit the circular disc you control with your thumb
no joystick? i was like, this is dumb!
where’s the red b-tton? they got nothin’!
slide in this sheet for the keypad functions?
tiny side b-ttons, you can barely smack that
just so i can play las vegas poker and blackjack?
overall, the thing really smelled
but i just had to play with the hand i was dealt

my parents bought me intellivision!
no combat, no breakout, …no pong
my parents bought me intellivision!
i don’t think my attention span will last long
my parents bought me intellivision!
i wanted to run away to puerto rico
my parents bought me intellivision!
if my parents were rich, we’d have bought a coleco

playing major league baseball one day after class
with my 3 year old brother who was kicking my ass
it suddenly dawned on me like morning sun;
i was playing intellivision, and having fun!
my friends all said “atari baseball rocks!”
but all of their graphics looked like lego blocks
with cr-ppy animation, the question begs
how do you play baseball without moving legs?
their color’s atrocious, their sound effects stink
each new mattel game changed the way that i think
and soon i was raising my intellivoice
saying mom and dad made the right choice, motha-[boom!]
my parents bought me intellivision!
screw atari, my gaming platform’s supreme!
my parents bought me intellivision!
you got one b-tton? man, we got sixteen!
my parents bought me intellivision!
and to those who cry my intelligent rhymes
my parents bought me intellivision!
you can byte me 2600 times!

insane ian, full of charm and tenacity, (sir?)
rock it like you did in pudding capacity!

insane ian: yeah…
i’ll admit atari invaded my home
because mattel started with attack of the clones!
the similar games you just couldn’t avoid
playing sp-ce hawk was like blastin’ asteroids
remember tempest? well here’s vectron!
and beauty and the beast played like donkey kong
but kool-aid played better and was a thirst quencher
and swords and serpents was way better than adventure
soon new i.p.s and translations appeared
burgertime on anything else just played weird
sp-ce armada, worm whomper, ice trek, all spectacular
and what other game lets you play -as- dracula?
my parents bought me intellivision!
remember those commercials with my man, george plimpton?
my parents bought me intellivision!
and all those cool games that he was straight pimpin’?
my parents bought me intellivision!
he said star strike had the best effects, d-mnit!
my parents bought me intellivision!
’cause it featured the total destruction of a planet!

i’ll work the deadly disc like my name was tron guy
catchin’ lunch in frog bog, because [i’m so fly!]
call in the bomb squad, and i’ll be there in a flash
’cause i’ll hit hypersp-ce in an astrosmash!
yeah, i’m a night stalker huntin’ droids in the dark
don’t fall through the thin ice, you’ll be shouting “shark! shark!”
my b-17 bomber always on the attack
so don’t cha gimmie no flack! {“watch out for flack!}
beat my score in lock’ n chase? don’t make me laugh, you!
you’re like a growing snake, caught in a snafu!
venture through a tower, playing hour after hour
like he-man said, “i have the power!”

my parents bought me intellivision!
here’s to 10 years of digital dangers!
my parents bought me intellivision!
this is a shout out to the blue sky rangers!
my parents bought me intellivision!
but there’s only one way this song can end-o
my parents bought me intellivision!
’cause my parents up and bought me an intellivision ii!

it never ends! it keeps going on and on! it can’t be stopped! it can’t be k!lled! intellivision lives!

{the battle is over.}
