The Lyrics
Cable bites, cable’s shite;
You at Comcast can eat me.
Every night: tiling sight,
Yet up on price you beat me.
Bottom-feed shmoes,
Your service sure blows;
Soon service I’ll sever.
Cable bites, cable’s shite.
In my home again--never!
You at Comcast can eat me.
Every night: tiling sight,
Yet up on price you beat me.
Bottom-feed shmoes,
Your service sure blows;
Soon service I’ll sever.
Cable bites, cable’s shite.
In my home again--never!

Thanks for putting that song in my mind AGAIN!!! I use to write dozens of them. Pretty good work, but the OS is too short to make it truly funny. I think there may be more verses.
I'm with you on this, John...just got my cable bill, today...I know what you mean, they are very near the top on my hate list, too...good message and job on a very short song.
lol...never used comcast but any one i know who has says the same thing...i have time warner which ain't much better
Funny little ditty, John!
Always liked that song!
Short circuit that cable, John. 555.
Captain Jack, ~Le Duke au Bray de Nay ~ I believe I'm the only one in the SiliconValley with a rotary phone & bunnyEars . . . So, get a dial tone, sir !
Good one for such a short song. Maybe I'm lucky but I got a TV/phone/broadband deal from Sky 3 years ago & have never had a problem with any of it. My only gripe is the cost which I think is dearer on average than in the US - just like our food, cars, petrol, etc, etc
Thanks, Adagio, AFW, Alvin, Mark, Harry, Madame, Andy (Comcast is corporate evil personified).
I beg to differ about Comcast. I have had no issues with their digital cable, internet and telephone services, although it is quite expensive. I have often been known to lounge around late at night in the company of Comcast Music Choice's "Soundscapes" (relaxation and world music) programming, several light-up adult beverage signs, a large indoor fountain and the heat of my wood stove. Regardless, I liked this parody enough to award 5s.
