Sometimes, I am feeling absurdist. Well, most days really, but I try to reign it in. I think the uke track is coming out a little hot, not in a bad way but always good to warn folk in advance.
Oh, there's a little reference to Kratwerk's 'Radioactivity' dropped in the lyric, specifically the line 'Wenn's um unsere Zukunft Geht'. Not important, but now you know.
Lyrics
I have got this friend called Dave Who’s well into microwaves He’ll show you how to be safe - Expert teacher! He’ll be great
Microwaves make you sick It’s electromagnetic There’s no short-cuts, there's no trick Just stand back, don't you get it?
Even if you’re feeling brave Or Think yourself a lusty knave Unless you want an early grave Just steer clear of microwaves
Don’t have sex with microwaves And don't wear it as a codpiece - Better ways you can behave (If your genitals are to be saved). . Don’t you butter up the muffin of your Microwave oven S-band radiation means death ray damnation
Have you been living in a cave? Been Locked up in Abu Ghraib? Very future is at stake From those pesky microwaves Even if you’re feeling brave Stay away from microwaves Unless you want an early grave Just steer clear of microwaves
Ping!

I often welcome Absurdity into my life, but I, too, restrain myself quite often. Tired of getting weird looks from folks. No microwave codpiece, though? Gonna have to rethink my fashion choices. I'm not sure how you make the sounds you do, but I am glad that you do it.

Ok, so (checks notes) I shouldn't have sex with a microwave? Got it! :)
All kidding aside, I really like the mock-seriousness of the vocals, the frenetic background, just the sense or urgency with which this goofy song is delivered. It's a lot of fun!

You gotta watch those micro waves indeed! Wise words, wise words! Here they call them magnetrons! Just saying. Keep up the good work, stir every 30 seconds!
