Technical

Written on February 25, 2026

This parody of the Olivia Newton-John song “Physical” was written for a co-worker and their last day on a big work project.

verse 1
I’m hearin’ all the things the business likes
Brought up in conversation
We gotta handle them just right
You know what I mean?

We analyzed the requirements
Demo-ed them on the screen
There’s nothing left to talk about
Unless it’s techie speak

chorus 1
Let’s get technical, technical
I wanna get technical
Let’s design the technical
Let me hear your app scripts talk, your workflows talk
Let me hear your app scripts talk

Let’s get technical, technical
I wanna get technical
Let’s design the technical
Let me hear your queries talk, your SQL talk
Let me hear your queries talk

verse 2
I’ve been patient, I’ve been good
Tried to hide the jargon labels
It’s getting tough this holdin’ back
You know what I mean

I’m sure you’ll understand my point of view
We know the functionality
You gotta know that you’re bringing out
The architect in me

chorus 2
Let’s get technical, technical
I wanna get technical
Let’s design the technical
Let me hear your server talk, your cluster talk
Let me hear your server talk

Let’s get technical, technical
I wanna get technical
Let’s design the technical
Let me hear your APM talk, your data talk
Let me hear your APM talk

repeat chorus 1

Let me hear your tech doc talk, your TD talk
Let me hear your tech doc talk
