Not Like That
Unlocking Joy: The Quirky Journey of Bug Hunter's Happy-Feeling Machine
Lyrics
We have invented an invention
We have created something new.
You know duct tape?
Referring to duct tape as an example.
It's not like that
But our creation is different from that.
We have created a creation
We have brought into existence another thing.
You know cupcakes?
Similar to mentioning cupcakes.
It's not like that!
However, our creation is distinct.
It's just a button, just a simple little button you can press
Describing a button that brings happiness when pressed.
And when you press it you'll be happy with no harmful side effects
Promising happiness without negative consequences.
Okay our legal team's informed us
Legal warning about side effects.
We must warn you of the button's side effects
Cautioning about potential adverse outcomes of using the button.
You know that feeling
Reference to the feeling of forgetting something to say.
When you had something to say and then forgot?
Assuring that the invention is not like that situation.
This is not like that!
Contrasting the invention with the stress of committing a crime.
You know that stress you get
Reassuring that the invention is not associated with that stress.
When you commit a crime and then get caught?
Emphasizing the positive nature of the button.
This is not like that!
Highlighting the duration of happiness and a random consequence.
It's just a button, just a helpful little button you can hit
Reiterating the simplicity of the happiness-inducing button.
It makes you happier for four to seven hours all depending on your blood type
Explaining the duration of happiness and a potential consequence.
Also, someone random on the planet dies
Clarifying the random nature of the consequence.
It probably won't be someone you know
Expressing that the consequence may not involve someone known.
You're gonna love this new thing
Promoting a new invention for happiness.
This happy-feeling machine
Describing the happiness-inducing machine.
Side effects and strings attached
Acknowledging side effects and conditions.
I want this but not like that
Expressing desire for the invention with certain conditions.
We have revised a new revision
Stating the creation of a new version.
We got your feedback
Noting feedback received.
You did not like that!
People did not like the previous version.
We have modified the button now instead of someone dying
Explaining modification to prevent severe consequences.
They will simply lose their balance as they're walking down the stairs
Describing a milder consequence for using the button.
It's not your fault if they won't hold the rail
Indicating responsibility for consequences lies with the individual.
You're gonna love this new thing
Reintroducing the improved happiness-inducing invention.
This happy-feeling machine
Describing the positive aspects of the machine.
Side effects and strings attached
Acknowledging side effects and conditions again.
I want this but not like that
Expressing desire for the invention with certain conditions (repeated).
This is our final off-er, our engineers have done their best
Presenting the final version of the invention.
They've made the button softer so it's more comfortable to press
Highlighting a physical improvement to the button.
You'll get one hour of joy but then the button will
Specifying the duration of joy and potential consequences.
