One of the only things that AI does sort of well...

One of the few things that AI does well is song parodies.

Now, nothing beats the human creative skills of Tom Lehrer https://tomlehrersongs.com/ or "Weird Al" Yankovic https://www.weirdal.com/ but it does an OK job in a pinch.

OH, THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF AI, IT IS A PARODY OF IT.

So, anyway blame this on me... and MSFT Copilot.

Apologies to R.E.M.

It’s the End of the Net as We Know It (And I’m Offline)

Cloud Chaos Karaoke Edition

Intro (0:00 – 0:08)

(Instrumental – get ready!)

Verse 1 (0:09 – 0:28)

That’s great, Wi-Fi’s late, outage starts to escalate,

Cloud crash, DNS smash, streaming’s in a dire state.

Zoom’s gone, Slack’s wrong, TikTok’s taking way too long,

Gaming queues, crypto blues, Twitter’s down, we sing the news!

Pre-Chorus (0:29 – 0:36)

ISP meltdown, servers spin around,

Refresh, refresh, but nothing’s inbound.

Click, click, click, but the page won’t load,

Feels like the end of all our nodes!

Chorus (0:37 – 0:52)

It’s the end of the net as we know it,

And I’m offline!

It’s the end of the net as we know it,

And I’m offline!

Verse 2 (0:53 – 1:12)

Netflix freeze, YouTube tease, memes are stuck in JPEG seas,

Email fails, shopping bails, can’t confirm my checkout sales.

Discord’s mute, no dispute, Reddit’s gone, no substitute,

VPN’s in a spin, nothing works, where to begin?

Verse 3 (Cloud Humor) (1:13 – 1:32)

AWS down, Route 53 drowned,

CloudFront’s gone, no CDN around.

GCP’s freeze, IAM keys tease,

Azure AD lost in policies!

Buzzword Verse 1 (Rapid Fire) (1:33 – 1:52)

EC2, S3, VPC, IAM,

CloudFront, Route 53, DynamoDB,

Lambda, RDS, EKS, Fargate,

BigQuery, Pub/Sub, GKE, AppState,

Azure Blob, Cosmos DB, AKS,

Functions, Logic Apps, Service Bus stress,

Terraform, Helm, Ansible, Chef,

Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka’s a mess!

Buzzword Verse 2 (Rapid Fire) (1:53 – 2:12)

Cloudflare, Fastly, CDN blast,

Istio, Envoy, service mesh cast.

OpenShift, Rancher, Prometheus charts,

Grafana dashboards tearing apart.

ElasticSearch, Kibana, Splunk logs,

RabbitMQ, Redis, Kafka hogs.

Snowflake, Databricks, ML ops spin,

TensorFlow, PyTorch, AI within!

Bridge (2:13 – 2:32)

No Insta scroll, no TikTok feed,

No cat videos to fill the need.

Back to books, back to walks,

Talking face-to-face—what a shock!

Final Chorus (2:33 – 2:52)

It’s the end of the net as we know it,

And I’m offline!

It’s the end of the net as we know it,

And I’m… still fine?
