Virus Alert Lyrics
Hey, everyone, listen up, your attention if you please
We wanna give you a warning
'Cause I found out this morning
About a dangerous, insidious computer virus
If you should get it, an email with the subject, 'stinky cheese'
Better off protecting your chances
Under no circumstances, should you open it
Or else it will
Translate your documents into Swahili
Make your TV record "Gigli"
Neuter your pets, and give you laundry static cling
Look out!
It’s gonna make your computer screen freeze
Look out!
Erase the Easter eggs off your DVDs
Look out!
Erase your hard drive and your backups too
And the hard drive of anyone related to you
Virus alert!
Delete immediately before someone gets hurt!
Forward this message on to everybody
Soon, very soon, it will make all the paint peel off your walls
It’ll make your keyboard all sticky
Give your poodle a hickey
And invest your cash in stock in Euro Disney
Then, it will tie up your phone, making prank long-distance calls
It’ll set your clocks back an hour and start clogging the shower
So just trash it now, or else it will
Decide to give you a permanent wedgie,
Legally change your name to Reggie,
Even mess up the pH balance in your pool
Look out!
It’s gonna melt your face right off your skull
Look out!
And make your iPod only play Jethro Tull
Look out!
And tell you knock-knock jokes while you’re trying to sleep
Look out!
And make you physically attracted to sheep
Look out!
Steal your identity and your credit card
Look out!
Buy you a warehouse full of pink leotards
Look out!
Then cause a major rift in time and space
And leave a bunch of Twinkie wrappers all over the place
That’s right it’s a
Virus alert!
Delete immediately before someone gets hurt!
Forward this message on to everybody
Virus alert!
Delete immediately before someone gets hurt!
Forward this message on to everybody
Warn all your friends, send this to everybody
Tell everyone you know, tell everybody now
If you get infected, you’ll wish you had never been born
So before it emails your grandmother all of your porn
Turn off your computer and make sure it powers down
Drop it in a forty-three-foot hole in the ground
Bury it completely; rocks and boulders should be fine
Then burn all the clothes you may have worn any time you were online!
Virus alert!
Delete immediately before someone gets hurt!
Forward this message on to everybody

According to Wikipedia, this song is a style parody of some band called "Sparks". I don't know who that is. My first impression of this song was that it sounded kinda like "Midnight Star" from the In 3-D album.
I love this song and its music video..."Make you physically attracted to sheep" I mean, weird al is one of the few artists I'll actually buy...although the fact that Volcano Entertainment (Al's label) is owned by the rootkit-happy Sony BMG is rather disconcerting..."Virus Alert" indeed...ON THIS CD!
I work in a tech shop myself, and virus removal is one of our services. Glad we have a soundtrack now!
Sparks were kind of a quirkier precursor to Queen (in that both mixed glam rock and classical influences with often tongue in cheek lyrics) and actually they're still around and just put an album out this year. Go seek out one of their 70's tunes such as "This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Two Of Us" and you'll see how it was exactly what he was going for here.
heh this song is pretty catchy. i was singing it the other day in computer science class.
I agree, it reminds me of my days as a know-nothing comp sci major.
I : ) this song. Good work, Al!
The lyrics of this one crack me up every time. A perfect parody of all those stupid chain e-mails I get :D Definitely one of my favourite of Al's songs.
Oh, and just out of curiosity, has anyone ever tried to send the lyrics of this song as an actual chain letter? It would be a sad day for mankind if anyone would actually believe the things this 'virus' does :D
It's mocking chain letters. People send letters telling people to send the letter. Most of these letters say rediculous things like this.
