bitfinity (matthew taranto) - one-note song lyrics

(spoken)
[r.o.b.]
now it is r.o.b.’s turn to sing

[mr. game & watch]
whaaat!? but you’re… a robot. you can only sing one note!

[r.o.b.]
affirmative

[mr. game & watch]
what kinda song would that be?
“bleep bloop. does not compute.”

[r.o.b.]
i find that stereotype offensive

[mr. game & watch]
all right, the mic is yours! i’ll just be over here grabbing my earplugs…

[r.o.b.]
commence song
(sung)
people have told me that, as a character, i am effectively one note
my programmed personality lacks human duality, i cannot live or love or emote
yet i do not see why i should not even try to act on my desire to belong
to emit melodic patterns in a repetitious manner, or in layman’s terms, i’ll sing a song
little more than a blip due to my sound chip, i can really only sing one note
yet despite that admission, my monotone emission should commission me to sing what i wrote
trading bits for beats, my algorithmic rhythms will make all the lady+bots tremble
i have long spun my wheels, but now i crave appeal
step aside, boys, a star is assembled

any other pitch would make me glitch, my programming says to stay on f
my specs and stats ignore sharps and flats and i never change keys or clefs
some other bots are programmed in the key of c#, their tonality won’t make them crash
with vibrato they arpeggiate and easily recalibrate, yet they are not fighters in smash

(spoken)
[mr. game & watch]
say, you’re uh… you’re pretty good!

[r.o.b.]
compliment accepted

[mr. game & watch]
i guess a melody really can just have one note!

[r.o.b.]
it can, and perhaps, should

[mr. game & watch]
well, despite all that, mind if i break the rules and join you in harmony?
[r.o.b.]
very well. let us escalate the roof

[mr. game & watch]
what+whaaat!?

[r.o.b.]
what

[r.o.b. and mr. game & watch, sung]
we come from a time of electronica, a synthetic pulse from the past
where the only bleeps and bloops you’d hear on tv were the chiptunes that we blast
music doesn’t have to bind to your rules, not an art to be pigeonholed
whether organic and alive, or synthetic with a drive
as long as it (long as it, long as it) moves your soul!

so in conclusion, it’s just an illusion that a melody needs more than one note
but if you’d like to enhance with harmonic descants, it may help supply an undercoat
so whether you’re flat or monotone at that, you’ll do well to remember this quote:
“you’ll never sound cruddy with an operating buddy, even if the song is only one note
you’ll never sound cruddy with an operating buddy, even if the song is only one note!”
