This parody is dedicated to certain unnamed sites which can't seem to keep their downtime within estimates. And resemblance between this song and an actual website is purely coincidental.
A parody of Electric Light Orchestra's "Don't Bring Me Down"
I'm surfing 'round your little website to find
But what I see just drives me out of my mind
The site is down, no no no no no (ooo)
I try it again
But still the outcome's the same
The site is down
You said your upgrade takes an hour or two
But three days later we're still waiting for you
The site is down, no no no no no (ooo)
Your estimates suck
And leaving me out of luck
The site is down
The site is down, Fender
The site is down, Fender
The site is down, Fender
The site is down
All that I want is for a website that works
But all this downtime is the worst of your quirks
The site down, no no no no no (ooo)
Don't tell me it's fine
Then go and waste all my time
The site is down
You claim you're working all through the night
One of these days you're gonna get it right
The site is down, no no no no no (ooo)
The Second Coming will start
Before you finish this part
The site is down
The site is down, Fender
The site is down, Fender
The site is down, Fender
The site is down
Your toll free number has an answer machine
But there's no place at all for me to complain
The site is down, no no no no no no no no no (ooo)
You do not answer your phone
You're leaving me all alone
The site is down
You got me shaking got me running away
And yet I'm surfing back to you every day
The site is down, no no no no no (ooo)
Could you remind me once more
Just what your website is for?
The site is down, down, down, down, down, down
Your site is worthless to me
Just like my reality
The site is down

"I try it again,

I'd suggest: I try it again, but that page is inane.
"Don't tell me it's fine
Then go and waste all my time"
This one's on the edge. Maybe: Don't tell me it's up, when it's taken a dump.
"Your toll free number has an answer machine
But there's no place at all for me to complain"
Ugh... try: Your toll free number could allow me to rant, but the full mailbox message means I can't.

I agree with
strredwolf, this would have been a lot better if it wasn't so site specific (the fender reference and FA reference).
Overall, I think it turned out decent, except for a couple of parts. Have you thought about doing any more parodies in the future?

Well, I could make an alternate version without the bridge references, leaving Fender simply because it becomes as meaningless as the Bruce reference in the original song (which, btw, is not what they are singing, anyway) and putting something more generic in the bridge.
And yes, I do plan to make more parodies. I have made plenty of them in the past and plan to continue.

besides the chord before the last verse in the chorus (Your estimates suck; And leaving me out of luck; The site is down, for example, this portrays to the chord on the word "luck") being minor instead of major (of which it's supposed to be) I love this so much XD sorry for the TL;DR explanation there but I like to be specific XP.
I just found this while reading through the comments on the recent maintenances. I'm still new to this site but after doing some reading and researching I've come to the conclusion that something isn't right. After listening to this I just LOL'd!!! HAHAHAAHA!!!! The lyrics are grand!! XD
FA+
