babbage made the difference - histeria! (american animated series) lyrics

babbage made the difference lyrics
[verse 1: chorus, froggo]
when ancient people wanted to add two plus two
they didn’t have computers to tell ’em what to do
they counted on a rack called an abacus
it used beads and wires and took a lot of fuss

[interlude 1: toast, lucky bob]
hey, what’s sixty*seven times 1,042?
uh, scranton, pennsylvania?

[verse 2: chorus, loud kiddington]
in 1822 an englishman named john babbage
decided machines should carry all our thinking baggage
he made a difference engine to do the trick
and he gave the whole world a technological kick!
well, it was babbage that made the difference…
(difference!)
he made a steam*powered thinking machine…
(thinking machine!)
the computer age arose when babbage hooked up a hose
without it, we’d be counting on our fingers and toes!
(fingers and toes!)

[interlude 2: charity bazaar, froggo, (chorus)]
what’d you get for the answer to number seven?
hang on a minute, let me take off my shoes
(ewww!!)
[verse 3: chorus, loud kiddington, froggo]
after babbage there were many advances
like punch cards and binary code!
but babbage’s big engine was the mother of inventions
when it came to brains, he struck the mother lode!

[verse 4: chorus, froggo]
in 1946 two guys from u. of pa
invented a computer like the ones we use today
it took a lot of power, took up the whole room
but it started off a modern day computer boom!
they called it eniac
and it was followed by edvac
and then univac…
all of these led to our modern pc
we owe our apples and our windows to good ol’ charlie!

[chorus 2: chorus, toast]
it was babbage that made the difference…
(difference!)
he had a super*powered digital brain…
(digital brain!)
we went from fingers and toes
to counting ones and zeroes
we could even thank him for our video games!
rock on, chuck!
[outro: chorus]
because of him we can compute
he gave the abacus the boot
babbage made the difference!
