Join Anna Logmeter as she does the “Dumb Meter” dance and sings this Smart Meter parody to the tune of Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog”.
Anna Logmeter, aka Ellen Cecil and Tobie Cecil have been educating and helping others protect their homes from electromagentic radiation Smart Meters for the past two years. They manage a 70 unit apartment building in Monterey County in which they have circulated a petition opposing Smart Meters, and built cages around the analog meters to protect the multi-age residents who live there.
Ellen writes,”Tobie and I began our “Most Excellent Smart Meter Adventure” over two years ago because of our Biblical belief that we should love God and love our neighbors as ourselves. Tobie also wanted to protect his employer from the potential disaster inherent in these digital time bombs.” Tobie has been called a “true folk hero” by a Monterey Herald writer because of his heroic efforts to protect their residents.
They recently published this article in a trade magazine for Apartment owners and managers: AOA Why “Smart Meters” Are Not Smart For You!
You can hear more Smart Meter tunes from Ellen and friends: Rap: “A-2-Z Smart Meter Rap (24/7 Ray Freaks)”and blues “Smart Meter Blues”.
Help Elvis and Anna “pull the plug on Smart Meters!”
(You Ain’t Nothin’ but a) “Dumb Meter”
You ain’t nothin’ but a Dumb Meter;
You got me cryin’ all the time.
You ain’t nothin’ but a Dumb Meter;
You got me cryin’ all the time.
Well, you ain’t never been smart
And you ain’t no meter of mine!
They said you was high-tech
But your pulses make me fry.
They said you was high-tech
But your pulses make me fry.
Well, you ain’t never saved me money
‘Cuz your promises are nothin’ but a lie.
They said you was clean and green
But you’re just a ball o’ slime.
They said you was clean and green
But you’re just a ball o’ slime.
Well, you ain’t never been natural–
Now you’re breakin’ my heart and that’s a crime.
You ain’t nothin’ but a Dumb Meter;
Your eyes are spyin’ all the time.
You ain’t nothin’ but a Dumb Meter;
Your eyes are spyin’ all the time.
Well, you ain’t never seen the truth
Now your cheatin’ ways have gone and made you blind.
They said you was high-tech
But your pulses make me fry.
They said you was high-tech
But your pulses make me fry.
Well, you ain’t never saved me money
And your promises are nothin’ but a lie.
You ain’t nothin’ but a Dumb Meter;
You got me cryin’ all the time.
You ain’t nothin’ but a Dumb Meter;
You got me cryin’ all the time.
Well, you ain’t never been smart
And you ain’t no meter of mine!
