BabStream (Hiatus Edition)

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
First, we thought that Babs had it really, really fixed
Her art show was back, and we all could get our kicks
But then she found the truth; her motherboard was taxed too far
The channel went, yeah, to a bunch of color bars
Every time we looked, offline was all it said
BabStream, BabStream, what’re we gonna do?
Her computer’s broken down
There’s no way to work around
BabStream, BabStream, till the year is new
Got a plan to rearrange
Friday nights we gotta change
BabStream, BabStream, we’re missin’ Babs’ BabStream
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lurking in the chatroom, we know it isn’t right
But we cannot think of something else to do on Friday night
Oh, we’ll play best-ofs, and that will tide us for a while
But we’ve been through ’em twice—yes, all the way through the pile
We refresh again—and still the channel’s dead
BabStream, BabStream, what’re we gonna do?
Her computer’s broken down
There’s no way to work around
BabStream, BabStream, till the year is new
Got a plan to rearrange
Friday nights we gotta change
Miss her style, miss her ’tude
Miss when Lady Sane’s unglued
Won’t it be nice, won’t it be keen
When she returns on her brand-new machine?
BabStream, BabStream, we’re missin’ Babs’ Babs-
BabStream, BabStream, we’re missin’ Babs’ Babs-
BabStream, BabStream—
We’re missin’ Babs’ BabStream

During a hiatus in Babsiwuff’s BabStream, the MLP:FiM episode “One Bad Apple” debuted. Its catchy musical number “Babs Seed” was ripe for parody. In Tim_Kangaroo’s RooCam Tim supplied the seed line about Babs’s computer breakdown, and the rest really wrote itself. Tim went so far as to record this as a gift for Babs, and she even played it on her return to the streamwaves.
