Liner Notes
A fun song that started about a hat conversation, and quickly evolved into a geek love story since most of the collaborators are in Silicon Valley.

Lyrics
(Chords: E A B E) I’m no black hat I’m no white hat I’m a red hat Cause I'm a hacker! I will fix it, I’ll format it, I will defrag your disk Baby when you're with me there’s no risk I’ve got Norton and McAfee and a Trojan too Baby there’s no virus when it’s me and you I’ve got no floppy and my disk is hard I’m glad you got a slot for my sd card I met this boy on the interwebs We hit it off & we merged our heads I fell in love, I felt alive But then I discovered he used Windows 95 That was something I didn’t see I couldn’t bring myself to hit control-Z I’m no black hat I’m no white hat I’m a red hat Cause I'm a hacker! I will fix it, I’ll format it, I will defrag your disk Baby when you're with me there’s no risk I’ve got Norton and McAfee and a Trojan too Baby there’s no virus when it’s me and you I built him a computer with a fancy motherboard The graphics card was the best I could afford And when he typed the password, I said oh god lord! Use a special symbol and no dictionary words I’m no black hat I’m no white hat I’m a red hat Cause I'm a hacker! I will fix it, I’ll format it, I will defrag your disk Baby when you're with me there’s no risk I’ve got Norton and McAfee and a Trojan too Baby there’s no virus when it’s me and you I’m no black hat I’m no white hat I’m a red hat Cause I'm a hacker! I will fix it, I’ll format it, I will defrag your disk Baby when you're with me there’s no risk I’ve got Norton and McAfee and a Trojan too Baby there’s no virus when it’s me and you

What fun! The geek humor is awesome, and the performance puts a smile on my face. Great collab.
Very funny! Well done. And Windows 95 is _such_ a dealbreaker, LOL.
This was such a highlight of the collaborative weekend! Thank you for being such a fun and creative guy
chuckled the whole time, this is hilarious! 😁 <3
Yesyesyesyes. This is great. And the hook is actually really damn catchy. I will probably have it stuck in my head for a while. My old dev team and I use to write silly programming songs. Makes me miss that.
"But then I discovered he used Windows 95" - time to rebase that commit out of existence.
Very good! SO funny and light spirited. I loved the computer metaphor and how much of it you can use to talk about love. Love in the modern age, ain't that just great?
This made me chuckle! Thank you for bringing a smile to my face today. 😀
What a fun tune! I had a big grin on my face while listening to this. I like all the IT references.
Laughing so hard at this. I love nerdy stuff, and I work in IT too ...
LOL! What fun!
This is great! I really enjoyed it. Made me laugh. I love how much fun this is. You can tell everyone there was having a blast. Well done!
OMG, ROBERTO, THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!! I think it might be the catchiest, pop-iest song you've done on FAWM so far. So, so much fun. Also, I'm super envious that you're collab-ing in person with other FAWMers who live in the Bay Area, omg. You know, I might be moving back to SoCal (long story). If I do, I'm gonna make you come down to L.A. and collab with me for next FAWM, lol.
Hilarious! I'm so happy on how our collaboration turned out. This song should go viral!
I'm-a use some of these lines to flirt with people of the nerdy/geeky inclination. this is so cute and so fun! 💗
