Click to hear: Dumb! Meter Song
When I heard the news, I didn’t listen at all,
Until one day they installed it on my wall,
Well, I was mad, so I called on the phone
I said come on over, take it off of my home
It was a vibratin, pulsatin, radiatin smart meter,
A vibratin, pulsatin, radiatin smart meter
Vibratin, pulsatin, radiatin smart meter
Sure seems dumb to me.
They refused to listen to my pleading voice,
They said I had to have one, that I had no choice.
When my bill arrived it was ten times more!
I yelled and screamed and stomped on the floor!
It was a vibratin, pulsatin, radiatin smart meter,
A vibratin, pulsatin, radiatin smart meter
I don’t want one, radiatin smart meter
Sure seems dumb to me. (dumb meter)
My head was hurting, couldn’t sleep a wink
My ears were ringing, I could barely think,
Then my lights went out, my computer fried
That meter exploded and I almost died!
It was a vibratin, pulsatin, radiatin smart meter,
A vibratin, pulsatin, radiatin smart meter
We don’t want one, radiatin smart meter
Sure seems dumb to me. (stupid meter)
These meters aren’t safe, tell your PUC
Protect your health, money, and your privacy
Protect your family, your cats and dogs
Call the PUC, bring back the analogs!
It was a vibratin, pulsatin, radiatin smart meter,
A vibratin, pulsatin, radiatin smart meter
Bring back the analogs, safer than the dumb meters
Sure seems smarter to me.

Very clever, very creative!!! Very cool song. Nice family harmonies. And most importantly, good message. Great job.

That’s one smart song! I’ll pass it on!

Just goes to show what some concerned folks can do creatively when trampled. Good job Chris and Sandi. I think this one is gonna go somewhere. I am sending it to my musical friends as they prepare for the Ft Bragg P$GE (Power grubbing and extortion company) demo July 29th.
The song is to the point and puts a light hearted spin on a very serious issue.
We need to take every opportunity to bring this invasion into our home and the destruction of our constitution to the publics attention.
I will try to pass this on.
