Hey Hey 16k!

An oldie but a goldie

The classic Spectrum fanboy song by those craaaazy guys at B3TA.com

For those who are interested the full lyrics are:

We bought it to help with your homework
We bought it to help with your homework
And the household accounts
If your dad ever works it all out

lunchtimes in the library
writing down the pokes and peeks
copying an access code,
get a taste for home taping
Fetishists of map-making

Rotten leads and rubber keys,
rand and run and loading screens
Then five minutes fingers crossed
hoping not to witness the terror
of R: Tape Loading Error

We bought it to help with your homework
We bought it to help with your homework
And the household accounts
If your dad ever works it all out

ZX Spectrum 81!
Dragon Vic and Oric-1!
Commodore 64!
Amstrad and
an Acorn Electron
cheaper BBC Micro

Jet Set Willy! Sabre Wulf!
Lords of Midnight! Underwurlde!
Dark Star, Transam, Ant Attack!
and of course, Manic Miner
The Hobbit and Knight Lore and Elite

It made a generation who can code
A bubble before proper consoles,
who all know
That the games you get today
well they might be very flash
But there'll never beat the thrill
of getting through Jetpac

Hey Hey 16K!
What does that get you today?
You need more than that for a letter
Old skool rampaks are much better.

Personal Computer Games,
Your Sinclair, 16K,
Kempston Competition Pro,
Crash and Cursor keys and GOTO Dixons
and bother Saturday staff with loops that don't end 1

We bought it to help with your homework
We bought it to help with your homework
And the household accounts
If your dad ever works it all out

Hey Hey 16K!
What does that get you today?
You need more than that for a letter
Old skool rampaks are much better. (x2)
