The Rolling Stones' Paint it Black meets Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall in this Parody song all about technology - and those who just don't like it. Know anyone like this?
My dear mother, Carolyn, has a hate-hate relationship with technology. I'm a teacher by trade and can teach tough concepts to anyone, but trying to teach her how to save documents on a computer is a mountain too high for me. She 100% inspired this song and was such a good sport about it that she agreed with my request to film her trying to use her phone and a laptop. No acting here - just me capturing her trying to figure it all out. Good times!

As a 34 year old, I will never take my parent's allergy to technology for granted. These are the loving folks who toilet-trained me, taught me how to hold a spoon and gave everything to raise me. I will spend hours, days and more going over the same phone things that are basic to me. Great song as always Shirley and huge hugs to your Mum for being a great sport.

Perfect timing, I really just got a new smartphone four days ago. My stone age one died on me a while back (RIP), which is why I went MIA for a while. Now I'm back with a vengeance, beware. To a certain extant I can sympathize with your Mom, there are still simple things that I haven't yet figured out on the new phone, but I'll keep looking. Well done again, Super-Shirley, and kudos for your good sport of a Mother.

Shirley, you are telling the story of my life! I finally made the smartphone leap three years ago after 14 years with a flip phone (I like the iPhone better than the Android-I can’t figure those out to save my life), and I still have a landline for a variety of practical reasons. Social media? Just RU-vid and Snapchat (the latter of which I only post on a handful of times per year). And to think that growing up I used to be the only person in the house who could program the Betamax! Now I’m getting pwned by my stupid all-in-one printer being stuck in a malfunction loop that I can’t get unstuck and the online instructions from “tech support” only serve to give me a headache! I manage the tech at work and the firehouse all right, but I still feel like a trackside hitchhiker trying to hop a ride on a bullet train otherwise! Like I told some of the guys my age at the firehouse: Nothing like a smartphone to make you feel like a dumbass!

@robinbeers6689 2 года назад

Lately it has become almost impossible to get through the day without a "smart" phone. Now you need to check in from your phone for a Dr. appointment or use the phone to scan the QR code to see the menu at a restaurant. Seriously? Can't you just print some up for us old farts? The other thing nobody mentions about older folks dealing with new tech is that less than perfect eyesight compounds all of the difficulties involved. Tiny little print and drop down menus from tiny little buttons you didn't even see at the edge of the screen. Things get lost in the bifocal line also. Hands that are less than perfectly steady with no arthritis are also less able to find all those tiny touchscreen buttons on the phone. I like my computer but I would happily go back to a world with no cell phones. There is nothing anyone has to say to me that is so all fired important that it can't wait until I get home.

Carolyn, you are an absolute legend. And take heart, this happens to the best of us, even those of us in the know. I work in IT and people above my paygrade and years of experience on a daily basis deal with technology breakages, and when I ask them about the route cause and fix, I know enough jargon to see that their response is "I don't have a clue what went wrong, but we turned everything on and off again, and that seemed to fix it".

She is a legend - I agree. And I know I've often scored the 'in charge of IT' at my job role for precisely that reason - I'm not afraid to unplug, then power up again, and often that fixes the glitch!

Oh Shirley how fun is this one!!! As one who gets to hang with her own 91 year young Momma, THIS ONE MAKES ME LAUGH!! 🤣🤣 Mom still says I refuse to learn this new technology but she did get to Facetime while doing a stent in medical rehab and thought it was cool...for what it was. 🤗 Great song choices and words you made my night and I totally love your humour and your Mon's humour too!! Thank you!!👍❤🥰

This song truly reflects the problems faced by the older generation while trying out the latest innovations in technology.Shirley has brought out this beautifully in this number.

I fully empathize. Every time I get a new phone or laptop, the process to activate them gets more involved and complicated. As they force technology into retirement, so goes simplicity. Thank you for the parodies. Your mom is super. You are very talented. I would love to buy a CD of your songs.

That is Sooo brilliant Shirley. I think I must be about the same age as your lovely Mum. I dropped my phone down the toilet recently and had to have a new one. I couldn't even switch it on and it had no instruction booklet. I had to go online to get the diagram of how to switch it on. But I couldn't get online because I couldn't switch it on. Aaaaagh!!!!! I had to call in a young person and they took pity on this poor old soul and set it all up for me. I'm only 68 but sometimes I feel a hundred as I look back nostalgically to the days of coin-operated phone boxes, photos that you could hold in your hand and letters written on pieces of paper that you sent in real envelopes. The only thing about that is I would never have seen your brilliant videos that I love and appreciate so much. Thank you. 👏🤣👏🤣

Shirley, yep that was wonderful with your mum starring in this vid... and yep technology is moving along just too fast... Love how you did this video to the song.. Years back I spray painted in red, on my concrete block wall in my garage.. "Another brick in the wall..." and it is still up there behind the things I have in the garage.. someone once day will discover it.. lol 🙂

Oh, fun!! I've wanted to do another version of that song for a while now. For a while, I was thinking of how with COVID, going shopping is a pain - Another Trip to the Mall. Might still do it one day.

@ruthbygrave4695 2 года назад

Brilliant! I feel like that in my late '50s with mental health issues, and so does my mum in her late '80s.

I absolutely LOVE The Rocky Horror Picture Show, my favourite film of all time! This version is an incredibly funny parody, and I'm pretty sure that Richard O'Brien would find it hilarious, too, Shirley!

OMG !!! Shirley has nailed it for all of us who are older and don't wish to be hassled or billed for cell phone charges that we simply do not use and speaking of the "Old Times" of simplicity of land lines. She is great at creating a parody of a song and addressing things that are of a concern to an older person. She IS ... Weird Al of the current age !!! God Bless Her !!!

Well, I'm a little better than that but not much!!! (I'm 62) I can do enough to get by but I know there's soooo many things I don't know about it! (The smart phone) My last computer had windows 98 if that tells you how long it's been!!?!! Love the video and your mom looks so sweet!! Give her a hug....from me to her! My mom passed away last year at age 83 and I can tell you she knew absolutely nothing about it either. She could make and take a phone call so we opted to go back to the equivalent of a flip phone for her. (We tried a little more sophisticated one) Thanks Shirley for another great parody and thanks to you and your mom for the laughs!

I can relate so much with this song. I have worked with hands and back most of my life and never used tech to solve problems. Now I sit and look at my phone and think how far I am behind others that understand all this tech. Enjoy the song greatly thank you.

@marianlincoln9008 2 года назад

I'm with you ... I'd rather HAVE a handwritten letter than e-mail. Tech is fine but I prefer the PERSONAL touch of face to face communication, of course the upside is because of technology we are able to get your wonderful parodies and social comments... Missed this when it first came out . Love IT. Thanks Shirley another Gem in your string of Songs.

I still have a landline phone. It's part of my ISP service but prior to that it WAS plugged into my wall and it's a regular phone. I have a cheap Android that I only have to keep with me when I'm out in my car for emergencies. I really don't like smart phones. God bless your mother - what a great sport to do this video!

@lesleehunter3023 2 года назад

This is awesome! And she is truly genuine. It reminded me of when in the 1980's I bought myself a Smith Corona electric typewriter with some fancy keys on it---(pre-computers and word programs). I came home from work one day and she's at the kitchen table and she was practically snarling at it. She'd hit return and nearly jumped out of her skin. our moms are priceless and I miss her every day.
