The stories behind Show Me the Tube

• Liner Notes: The Extra Synth Solo on "Show Me the Tube" — Same 80s duet about vetting a replacement CT tube, but this take slows down for a solo the other one skips.
• Show Me the Tube: Buying a Replacement CT Tube Like It's a Big Decision — A bright 80s synth-pop duet about a dying CT tube is really a checklist for one of imaging's biggest purchases.

Lyrics

The old ones are here, giving up its

run

Gotta choose a new one,

before the day is done

Two roads open, take your pick

Factory fresh or road tested trick

Either way, your weight's gonna do the job

Just show me the proof before I fall in love

Show me the truth before I say yes

Show me the hour show me the tests mileage and

warranty history too

either one's fine if the proof check is true

send me a photo don't just send a quote i wanna see the

numbers that you wrote

Date it was born, how far it's been

Warranty papers, let me look within

Show me the tooth before I say yes

Show me the hours, show me the tests

Mileage and warranty, history too

Either one's fine if the proof checks true

Doesn't matter where it came from first

What matters is the proof, not the words I pick the

one whose story's clear

That's the tube that's coming here

Show me the tube before I say yes

Show me the hour, show me the test

Mileage and warranty,

history too Either one's fine

If the proof checks true

Deal is done, the tube's on its way

Scan resumes,

another day

Ooh,

ooh, ooh, ooh

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
