[Dan Bull - Boost! lyrics]
In the past
The internet didn't have video yet
Then there came a website called
YouTube to make it right
240p was the size of a video
And the audio was mono, not stereo
You could not upload a song
Longer than ten minutes long
Then we got a data boost
New features were introduced
Quality increased from 240 pixels in 360
And YouTube added an option to
Watch videos in 3GP
Hey, hey! Netflix, Ustream
Roku and let's not forget Apple TV
Another data boost as we got
Used to browsing audiovisually eee, eee
Suddenly, we're in the realm of HD
A whole new level of quality
720p and we went from 4: 3
Black bars on the side to full widescreen
With faster data plans and broadband
It's like your holding a whole
Cinema in your hand
I hope you brought your 3D specs
So you can see what's coming up next, huh
720p was clearly never sufficient
So boost to 1080
Improve your vision of the screen
As the videos streams
Automatic subtitles transcribe your speech
Vevo, ThumbsUp and HTML5
I can't imagine the size of the disk drives
It's like bandwidth gets bigger every minute
We need another data boost just so
We can keep up with it
The scene's a sea
We're swimming deep within it
Singers, streamers, comedians, memers, Keems
It seems we're keen to reach the limit
It's our forte
Everything that came before was foreplay
But of course, were going to raise the rate
To 4K with more frames
Enabling smoother views of your games
YouTubers are huge news for the new youth
Old media bequeathing the future and
Leaving it to you
I think you know by now what
We need to do: boost
Now, it's natural that we are
Becoming compatible with VR, caviar
Running in 8K colour space
Capable of displaying HDR 360 degrees
It must seen for it to be believed
It must be heard, just like the word
"Skrt skrt!"
I don't know what that even means
All I know is everything
Is getting more excessive every morning
I see something that is ever more impressive
All my messages amassing even faster
Than I get 'em
The progression is so fast that I
Cannot even get a breath in
What do you think of the fact
I'm bringing the track back from
The beginning of rap?
Fresh as cinnamon baps and in
The middle of that
Dan's reminiscing about video stats
Still managing to kill it
With brilliant facts he really is fast
The internet didn't have video yet
Then there came a website called
YouTube to make it right
240p was the size of a video
And the audio was mono, not stereo
You could not upload a song
Longer than ten minutes long
