EE 464 Blues

Sung to the Paul McCartney song
Band on the Run
1973
*********************************************

Well, the FET exploded with a mighty blast,
and it sounded like a gun,
as we tinkered with the load RBox,
and in error stepped through 1!

	Damn, it won't run!
	Damn, it won't run!
We spoke a curse. The thing ran worse.
We'll never see the sun...

Because...
(chorus:)
	Damn, it won't run!
	Damn, it won't run!
	Damn, it won't run!
	Damn, it won't run!
(end chorus:)
And we twist and twiddled with the bandpass pots
trying to get high Q.
We have half the rejection that we needed there.
The circuit just won't do!

	Damn, it won't run!
	Damn, it won't run!
Forget the patch! We'll start from scratch!
We'll stay up till we're done!

Because...
(chorus x2)

And now 9 generations of design have passed,
and our eyelids weigh a ton.
But our prototype seems to work perfectly.
See, wasn't that month fun?

	Damn,watch it run.
	Damn, see it run!

But come time to judge...
he'll find our fudge...
factors weren't quite right!

Oh No!!!
(chorus x2)
