Das Ingtons - Working For Alba

It was 1986, and I was at a conference
Surrounded by people, that I'd built up a tolerance
I'm at the hi-fi awards and we're the market leaders
'Cause I work for Alba man, we'll take you to the cleaners

But little did I know that the game was unattainable
Selling just our products was becoming unsustainable
There's a new piece of tech out there, there's no debating
Little did I know - that the game was changing

Have you, heard, of, this feature called high speed dubbing?
It's a game changer, when you're doing tape to tape recording
It goes faster (Much faster) much faster (Much faster)
Than my current branded stereo system
And now Alba (Much faster) they're gonna struggle
'Cause they've got some fierce competition

It was 1987, and yeah, we're pretty happy
Alba selling stereos in Rumbelow's and Tandy
But there was something that we didn't see coming
Our customers telling us - 'We all want high speed dubbing!'
Yeah, we had record and play, but that's about it
With its bass and treble variables, a tasty bit of kit
But the higher-ups in Alba man, they knew the game was up
The shit's about to hit the fan, you know that we were fucked - what?

Have you, heard, of, this feature called high speed dubbing?
It's a game changer, when you're doing tape to tape recording
It goes faster (Much faster) much faster (Much faster)
Than my current branded stereo system
And now Alba (Much faster) they're gonna struggle
'Cause they've got some fierce competition

Look
We were desperate right?
We didn't want Alba to die without a fight
So - this is what we did and I know it's not right
You see we started a rumour just to cause a fright

Did you hear about the kid that tried high speed dubbing?
His brain sped up to twice as fast and know one saw it coming
Oh, you don't believe me man, then why do you think I'm bluffing?
'Cause his death certificate said he died from high-speed dubbing

Have you, heard, of, this feature called high speed dubbing?
It's a game changer, when you're doing tape to tape recording
It goes faster (Much faster) much faster (Much faster)
Than my current branded stereo system
And now Alba (Much faster) they're gonna struggle
'Cause they've got some fierce competition

Have you, heard, of, this feature called high speed dubbing?
It's a game changer, when you're doing tape to tape recording
It goes faster (Much faster) much faster (Much faster)
Than my current branded stereo system
And now Alba (Much faster) they're gonna struggle
'Cause they've got some fierce competition
