A bouncing Tejano/norteño groove turns a calibration in-joke into a dance tune, and this take trades the accordion for a horn section.

Lyrics
Little Box The little analyzer does its best
Numbers blinking, sending signs
Somebody's gotta check the checker every time
Flowin' pressure, voltage and spark
Simulating vitals in the dark
Every gauge on my machine depends
On a smaller gauge that never bends
Who checks the checker, who tests the test?
The little analyzer does its best
Numbers blinking,
sending the signs Somebody's gotta check the checker every time
No paper, no pen, it writes itself
Wireless number straight off the shelf
The tiniest box outsmarts the rest
It's the only thing that passes its own test who checks the the
checker who tests the test the little analyzer does its best
number blinking sending the sign
Somebody's gotta check the checker every time
Who checks the checker?
