The Slack Café
by @carleybaer
Liner Notes
The slack chat is a great time. Everyone should join. There were so many slack collabs this year that were food-based, it only seemed right to turn it into a proper diner. The coffee thing is because for a long time, the word "coffee" would wake up the slackbot, which could get annoying, but now they fixed it so we can say "coffee" again.
Special thanks to @burr @ductapeguy @tcelliott @metalfoot @beacon @joshalmond @aeye @russell for sending me clips of them saying "BOOTS UP CUPCAKE" and not asking any questions.
Lyrics
Come on down to the Slack Café We got everything you need to make your day Lots of (SHHH DON’T SAY IT) to fill your cup I’m sorry, that Sl@ckbøt just won’t shut up Yeah the Slack Café is the place to be Every February
Cupcakes on special, two for one Come for the raisins, stay for the fun Anything you say could end up a song We’re making up the menu as we go along
Come on down to the Slack Café We got everything you need to make your day Lots of brown liquid to fill your cup We can’t say it til somebody shuts Sl@ckbøt up Yeah the Slack Café is the place to be Every February
We got specialty breads, nice and dry We got 8-cent grapes piled up real high We got lots of friendly faces if you need a break They’ll be right there to say “BOOTS UP, CUPCAKE”
Come on down to the Slack Café We got everything you need to make your day Lots of coffee to fill your cup We can say it now cuz someone shut the Sl@ckbøt up Yeah the Slack Café is the place to be Every February So take a craisin cookie and have a nice day We’ll see you next year at the Slack Café

Yay! So THIS is what the BOOTS UP, CUPCAKE chorus was for! :D this is a fun souvenir of our FAWM 2025 chatter. Really enjoyed the slidey guitarry noodling - played it twice!

Aha what a sweet song with a lot of Easter eggs in it even I missed! It was a nice pressure valve release having the Slack. Wonderful. That ‘every February’ line is a nice hook that has found a home in my head.

This sort of encompases my entire FAWM 2025 experience in one song. Brilliant.

Boots up cupcake. That captures the moment perfectly.

I wasn't even there and the avoiding-the-Slackbot still made me laugh! Now I need to go listen to the songs whose references I don't get yet—but they make for a fun little diner regardless. I might just have to join the Slack...

I'm so glad I came across this before tomorrow! So excellent. Although the mention of raisins elicited a wretch. Love the slide at the end. Definitely one for the juke box.
