Superior Motor Skills

I never realized my dad is a hunt and peck typist. He says he’s been working with computers for all these years. What exactly was he doing? I know he said he worked with old programs, but typing is typing.

After watching him type one day I was thinking about how much I love the Angelfish song “Mummy Can’t Drive”. So I decided to write a parody song about my dad’s lack of typing skills. I also included an unfinished parody of “Please Don‘t Stop the Music”, that I wrote about farting. Farts/farting is a good topic for song parodies. It took me 5 days to write the Angelfish parody.

Daddy Can’t Type (a parody of "Mummy Can't Drive" by Angelfish)

Daddy can’t type
There’s too much pride
I know what I’m doing
He said, I know what I’m doing

Daddy can’t type
Daddy can’t type
Hunt and peck ain’t right

He can’t see the keys
See the site
See the screen
See the font
See anything
Mom’s laughing
Kid’s laughing

Daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
Daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
Hunt and peck ain’t right
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no,
He can't type

Don’t press the keys too hard
Don’t press the keys too hard
“Hey not too hard” the keys cry out
Mom’s laughing (I know what I’m doing )
Kid’s laughing (I know what I’m doing )
Mom’s laughing (I know what I’m doing )
Kid’s laughing (I know what I’m doing )

Because daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
Daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
Daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
Daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
Daddy can’t type (he don‘t know, he don‘t know)
You’ve got to take out your flash drive (take out your flash drive )
You’ve got to take out your flash drive (take out your flash drive )

You know daddy can’t type (daddy can‘t type)
Daddy can’t type (daddy can‘t type)
He’s got a mouse on the side (he‘s got a mouse on the side)
You know daddy can’t type (daddy can‘t type)

Daddy can’t type
Daddy can’t type
Daddy can’t type
Daddy can’t type

Here is the unfinished parody of the Rihanna song ""Please Don't Stop the Music"

Please just stop farting
Please just stop farting
Please just stop farting
Please just stop farting

Let's escape from the fart , let’s get away
I just can't stand it

Please just stop , please just stop farting
I just got blown away
Let's escape from the fart , let’s get away
I just can't refuse it

Please just stop farting, please just stop
Please just stop farting

Baby are you ready cause it's gettin close
I know my butt is ready to explode?
What I just slipped out no-one has to know
I just let one go, ohh

Do you know who just farted?
I just came here to party

My hands over my face
Please just go away

[CHORUS]

Please just stop farting

[CHORUS]

Please just stop farting
Please just stop farting
Please just stop farting

My dad also has a hard time using a mouse. I don’t know why he always boasts about his great motor skills and hand eye coordination he has/had because he was athlete. You should see him try to use it. He makes big jerky movements. He also slams it down too. He has a hard time with the scroll wheel.
