It was 1986, and I was at a conference Surrounded by people, that I'd built up a tolerance I'm at the hi-fi awards and we're the market leaders 'Cause I work for Alba man, we'll take you to the cleaners But little did I know that the game was unattainable Selling just our products was becoming unsustainable There's a new piece of tech out there, there's no debating Little did I know - that the game was changing Have you, heard, of, this feature called high speed dubbing? It's a game changer, when you're doing tape to tape recording It goes faster (Much faster) much faster (Much faster) Than my current branded stereo system And now Alba (Much faster) they're gonna struggle 'Cause they've got some fierce competition It was 1987, and yeah, we're pretty happy Alba selling stereos in Rumbelow's and Tandy But there was something that we didn't see coming Our customers telling us - 'We all want high speed dubbing!' Yeah, we had record and play, but that's about it With its bass and treble variables, a tasty bit of kit But the higher-ups in Alba man, they knew the game was up The shit's about to hit the fan, you know that we were fucked - what? Have you, heard, of, this feature called high speed dubbing? It's a game changer, when you're doing tape to tape recording It goes faster (Much faster) much faster (Much faster) Than my current branded stereo system And now Alba (Much faster) they're gonna struggle 'Cause they've got some fierce competition Look We were desperate right? We didn't want Alba to die without a fight So - this is what we did and I know it's not right You see we started a rumour just to cause a fright Did you hear about the kid that tried high speed dubbing? His brain sped up to twice as fast and know one saw it coming Oh, you don't believe me man, then why do you think I'm bluffing? 'Cause his death certificate said he died from high-speed dubbing Have you, heard, of, this feature called high speed dubbing? It's a game changer, when you're doing tape to tape recording It goes faster (Much faster) much faster (Much faster) Than my current branded stereo system And now Alba (Much faster) they're gonna struggle 'Cause they've got some fierce competition Have you, heard, of, this feature called high speed dubbing? It's a game changer, when you're doing tape to tape recording It goes faster (Much faster) much faster (Much faster) Than my current branded stereo system And now Alba (Much faster) they're gonna struggle 'Cause they've got some fierce competition
