FUNNY · ELECTRONIC ROCK
Do Not Forward
For the people who know the whole story
Press play to hear this song.
Why this song was made
Six friends turn their chaotic group chat into a loud electronic-rock anthem. Behind the terrible plans, accidental voice notes and running jokes is the place they always go when they need each other.
Read the lyrics
[Verse 1]
The chat was called Quick Question; that was forty threads ago,
Now somebody owns a gazebo and nobody seems to know.
You sent the wrong location; we assembled by a bin,
Then voted you our social chair and never checked again.
There's a voice note of you ordering a kebab in your sleep,
And a spreadsheet for a weekend that we couldn't organise for weeks.
[Chorus]
Do not forward, turn it up,
Twenty-seven messages asking, Are you up?
Bad ideas, good company,
All our little disasters mean the world to me.
Do not forward, let it play,
I would choose you idiots every single day.
[Verse 2]
We said we'd have one quiet drink and be in bed by ten,
At midnight we were helping someone's uncle move a hen.
You brought a cheese board to the gym; we never questioned why,
The photograph became our flag, the caption made me cry.
Our most important document is Gary's parking fine,
We quote it like a sacred text whenever plans decline.
[Bridge]
Then one night I typed, I'm struggling, and stared at what I'd said,
You dropped the jokes, you found your keys, you came round with some bread.
That stupid little glowing screen became a place to land,
All our nonsense, all our history, and someone who understands.
[Chorus]
Do not forward, turn it up,
Twenty-seven messages asking, Are you up?
Bad ideas, good company,
All our little disasters mean the world to me.
Do not forward, let it play,
I would choose you idiots every single day.
