This is a song about cheap shitty pink USB chargers and how they can blow your prized technical possessions up and potentially blow YOU up in the process.
Of course, they don't HAVE to be pink, but it's all the more humiliating if they are.
The simple fact is that many of the cheap USB chargers sold on ebay and directly from China are designed with no regard to proper electrical isolation between the mains side and the low voltage USB output. This can result in equipment damage and electrocution.
I strongly recommend that you only use good quality chargers from known good sources for your equipment. And despite not being an Apple fan-boi I regard their iPad charger as one of the most trustworthy travel chargers you could carry with you.
Please note that I didn't actually blow my iPad up with a cheap shitty pink USB charger from China. I'm not dumb enough to plug anything precious into one of these things.

It looks orthodontic!
On tonight’s Top Of The Pops, we have Mr. Bear! Love it Clive!
where's the 10 hours version of it?
ahhh it's been a while 😀 "smoke came from every corner and the screen got hot, and now it's completely dead and I'm probably lucky I'm not"
the only problem, it is each and every device. only branded ones from the top range have something to loose, but they also charge way more for the same. for many it will be either have or not have. this is a question.
The fact that this Certified Retro Banger only has 6.5k likes is as criminal as the act of producing lethally cheap electronic devices for the export market.
Protip: always take your chargers apart before using it (if you got it from some shady Chinese seller)
AvE sent me.
Well I can’t stop watching this now
Ah yes, 69 dislikes, nice
Oh Clive. This makes me SO happy! Please do more music when you can. I WILL PAY YOU.
Well there's a thing. I was humming this without realising and had to come back here and have another listen. From June 2014!! Now that's an earworm! 🙂
Karaoke version please!
Whoever wrote these lyrics knows what the fuck they're doing.
