The Lyrics
I’ve been raging, S.O.B.s in hot water
Lag time not getting better, never really knowing why
With the IPhone for my daughter
All the data running slower, it just makes her wanna cry
Every pic she’d take, each e-mail she’d track
Every GIF she’d make, her home screen went black
To the Facebook—no, it just cannot go
She can’t make a Tweet!
There’s a light on the top of the rim—it just blinks
YouTube shows never arose
And the linkups all fail, woe is me, this really stinks
Some day I’ll go
Say hello to new phone, maybe get a Moto!
I know everything in capitalism is made crappy—nihilism!
That’s obsolescent design
I know everybody in this land hates Steve Jobs, on top his high land
He sure did bankroll those dimes
We could see in time what had all gone wrong
When a load up of Minecraft would take too long
Or if Spotify couldn’t find our songs
What’s up with the speed?
It ain't right, call the lines, FCC—I’m suing
And goodness knows how deep it goes
Now it’s time for reciprocity, when you bill me
I’ll let you know
If I’ll pay on time, or will take my time
The line that you crossed so wily—it galls me
Your ethics gross—it really blows
When I get a new phone, I might leave Apple behind me
One day you’ll know
Not to go slow!
Lag time not getting better, never really knowing why
With the IPhone for my daughter
All the data running slower, it just makes her wanna cry
Every pic she’d take, each e-mail she’d track
Every GIF she’d make, her home screen went black
To the Facebook—no, it just cannot go
She can’t make a Tweet!
There’s a light on the top of the rim—it just blinks
YouTube shows never arose
And the linkups all fail, woe is me, this really stinks
Some day I’ll go
Say hello to new phone, maybe get a Moto!
I know everything in capitalism is made crappy—nihilism!
That’s obsolescent design
I know everybody in this land hates Steve Jobs, on top his high land
He sure did bankroll those dimes
We could see in time what had all gone wrong
When a load up of Minecraft would take too long
Or if Spotify couldn’t find our songs
What’s up with the speed?
It ain't right, call the lines, FCC—I’m suing
And goodness knows how deep it goes
Now it’s time for reciprocity, when you bill me
I’ll let you know
If I’ll pay on time, or will take my time
The line that you crossed so wily—it galls me
Your ethics gross—it really blows
When I get a new phone, I might leave Apple behind me
One day you’ll know
Not to go slow!

You DID make this about phones like you mentioned in the messageboards but not about phone calls as I would expect with the "calls me" lines in the original BUT about slow WiFi speed! Pretty clever and fun stuff but taking pot shots at the dead is kinda rude (Steve Jobs) but I don't really care about rudeness.
I was going with the "calls to me" theme too, kinda, but you made better use of it for sure. Am i right in that Apple's been admitting lately to deliberately slowing down old phones to prolong battery life (official explanation) and/or just in time for new models to be released (inofficial theory)?
AG, can you explain the 38 year comment better?
@Rob, I have been writing parodies, on and off, since 1980 or thereabouts. Just a rough estimate to mark my first parody of 2018.
