Albanian Virus
Pop rock with synth-pop influences. Features a bright, overdriven electric guitar playing syncopated rhythmic stabs and a clean, palm-muted guitar doubling the bassline. The bass guitar follows a driving eighth-note pattern. Drums consist of a punchy kick, a crisp snare, and consistent eighth-note hi-hats. A prominent sawtooth lead synth plays melodic flourishes and staccato riffs. Vocals are a clear, energetic male tenor with occasional multi-tracked harmonies in the chorus. The track is in the key of E Major at 128 BPM in 4/4 time.

Lyrics
Sunrise creepin' over the Ozark hills
Another day of dust and diesel spills
Coffee's black, just like my mood
Thinkin' 'bout things I never should
But then I receive out-of-the-blue email
"Hi,I am an Albanian virus, but because of poor technology in my country, unfortunately I am not able to harm your computer. Please be so kind to delete one of your important files yourself and then forward me to other users. Many thanks for your cooperation! Best regards, Albanian virus"
Oh, the Albanian virus, a digital plea
Askin' me kindly " Just delete for me."
No fire, no brimstone, just a polite request
The strangest darn malware, puttin' me to the test.
Heard tales of hackers, dark and mean
Wreckin' hard drives, a digital scene
But this one's different, got a gentle touch
Says his country's poor, don't ask for much
Oh, the Albanian virus, a digital plea
Askin' me kindly "Just delete for me."
No fire, no brimstone, just a polite request
The strangest darn malware, puttin' me to the test.
My daddy always said "Son, help out a soul in need"
Even if that soul's a virus, plantin' a strange seed
He ain't threatenin', ain't makin' no fuss
Just a quiet whisper "Can you trust us?"
Oh, the Albanian virus, a digital plea
Askin' me kindly "Just delete for me."
No fire, no brimstone, just a polite request
The strangest darn malware, puttin' me to the test.
Albanian virus
You made my day
Yeah you made my day
No gray skies today
You made my day
