Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me

Weird Al Yankovic

Transposer:

Oh the sand keeps falling through the hourglass And there’s no way you’re gonna slow it down You say we gotta treasure each moment Who knows how long we’re gonna be around Yeah you keep on telling me life is short And it’s hard to disagree with what you say But if time is so precious why ya wasting mine Cause I’m always reading Always deleting Every useless piece of garbage that you send my way Every stupid hoax All those corny jokes Stop forwarding that crap to me Well I don’t need tons of cringe inducing puns Stop forwarding that crap to me No it isn’t ok if you brighten my day With some cut and pasted hackneyed Hallmark poetry And I didn’t request a personality test Stop forwarding - that crap to me Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh... You’re sending virus-laden bandwidth-hogging attachments to every single person you know You’re passing round a link to some dumb thing on YouTube That everybody else already saw three years ago And wacky badly Photoshopped billboards were never that amusing to me And I just can’t believe you believe those urban legends But I have high hopes someone will point you toward Snopes And debunk that crazy junk you’re spewing constantly No I don’t want a bowl of Chicken Soup for the Soul Stop forwarding that crap to me Send more top 10 lists and I’ll slash my wrists Please stop forwarding that crap to me Well I’m sorry I can’t accept your paranoid rant And I don’t want the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe Won’t you kindly refrain cause it’s hurting my brain Stop forwarding... that crap to me Like glittery hearts and unicorns and pictures of somebody’s cat Now tell me in what alternate reality would I care about something like that? And by the way your quotes from George Carlin aren’t really George Carlin Mr. Rogers never fought the Viet Cong And Bill Gates is never gonna give me something for nothing And I highly doubt some dead girl is gonna kill me If I don’t pass your letter along... Well now I know you’re wishing I’ll sign your petition But stop forwarding that crap to me And I don’t want to read your series Of conspiracy theories Just stop forwarding that crap to me And your two million loser friends All have my address now Cause you never figured out the way to Now I gotta insist Take me off of your list Stop forwarding-- that crap to me Stop forwarding that crap to me Stop forwarding that crap to me Stop forwarding that crap to me (repeats) Ahhhhhhh....

La chanson parle des frustrations de quelqu'un qui en a assez de recevoir des messages inutiles et des informations sans valeur. L’artiste se plaint de ces chaînes de courriels, des blagues ringardes et des théories du complot qui envahissent sa boîte de réception. Il souligne l'absurdité de partager des contenus redondants et dérisoires tout en appelant à tourner son attention vers des choses plus significatives. Le contexte est celui d'une époque où les gens sont souvent bombardés de contenu numérique superflu, et cela touche beaucoup de personnes qui souhaitent se concentrer sur des échanges authentiques et enrichissants. La chanson évoque ainsi un ras-le-bol général face à la surcharge d'informations non pertinentes dans notre quotidien.
