List all of the un-ironic references to the internet in pop music

It's been hours seems like days, since you went away,
And all I do is check the screen to see if you're ok.
You don't answer when I phone, guess you wanna be left alone.
So I'm sending my heart, my soul, and this is what I'll say:

I'm sorry, oh so sorry, can't you give me one more chance to make it all up to you.
E-mail my heart and say our love will never die
and that I know you're out there and I know that you still care.
Email me back and say our love will stay alive.
Forever, Email my heart.

Whoa
I can see you in my mind, coming on the line
And opening this letter that I've sent a hundred times.
Here's a picture of us two, I look so good on you
and can't you please forgive me for the hurt I put you through.

CHORUS

I'm sorry, oh so sorry, can't you give me one more chance to make it all up to (you).

E-mail my heart and say our love will never die
and that I know you're out there and I know that you still care
(I know that you still care...)
Email me back and say our love will stay alive
Forever (Won't ya say, Won't ya say)
Forever, Forever
Email my heart

I got the internet going nuts
But T. Farris got my back so now I'm holding my nuts
It's Paul Wall baby what you know bout me
I'm on that five nine Southle baby holla at me

I'll go with the more obvious "Google Me" (Teyana Taylor)

canibus had one that was hella corny

something about "you can catch me on the internet, talkin to chicks / ..."

BRAGGIN 1999

your father’s mailing me all the time/ he says he just wants to say hi/ i send back out of office autoreplies.

Ayo
I'm tired of using technology, why don't you sit down on top of me

Ayo
I'm tired of using technology, I need you right in front of me

Mi-Sex - Computer Games (1978)

I fidget with the digit dots and cry an anxious tear
As the XU-1 connects the spot
But the matrix grid don't care
Get a message to my mother
What number would she be
There's a million angry citizens
Looking down their tubes at me

Com-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-puter-puter, puter games
Com-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-puter-puter-puter-puter, computer games

There's safety in numbers, they say
'Cause the figures never lie
No perfect persons ever noticed one computer die
I'm programmed to a schedule
What will the answer be
Is it suicide run till the work gets done
'Cause the matrix grid don't say

Com-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-puter-puter, puter games
Com-pu-pu-pu-pu-puter-puter-puter-puter, computer games

Jammed up tight by red traffic lights
Advance one level on green
These opportune commuters
They're blasting on their hooters
I fidget with the digit dots
Frustration rules out there
As the XU-1 connects the spot
But the matrix grid don't care

Com-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-puter-puter, puter games
Com-pu-pu-pu-pu-puter-puter-puter-puter, computer games
Com-pu-pu-pu-pu-puter-puter-puter-puter, computer games
Com-pu-pu-pu-pu-puter-puter-puter-puter, computer games
Com-put-er Games

Man, they were so ahead of their time. I mean, a song not just about the internet, but from the perspective of the IT staff.

Hey LOL, gtg
I gotta go so baby watch for me, 'cause
I'll be right back, brb
sign on, baby, IM ME

I AM CARRYING A TORCH FOR YOU BRITNEY CLEARY

It's interesting that hip-hop seems like the early adopter here. Anyone got any rock songs?

No, but Brad Paisley kinda rocks:

I work down at the Pizza Pit
And I drive an old Hyundai
I still live with my mom and dad
I'm 5 foot 3 and overweight
I'm a scifi fanatic
A mild asthmatic
And I've never been to second base
But there's whole ‘nother me
That you need to see
Go checkout MySpace

'Cause online I'm out in Hollywood
I'm 6 foot 5 and I look damn good
I drive a Maserati
I'm a black-belt in karate
And I love a good glass of wine
It turns girls on that I’m mysterious
I tell them I don't want nothing serious
'Cause even on a slow day
I could have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I’m so much cooler online
So much cooler online

When I get home I kiss my mom
And she fixes me a snack
And I head down to my basement bedroom
And fire up my Mac
In real life the only time I’ve ever even been to L.A
Is when I got the chance with the marching band
To play tuba in the Rose Parade

Online I live in Malibu
I pose for Calvin Klein, I've been in GQ
I'm single and I'm rich
And I've got a set of six pack abs that would blow your mind
It turns girls on that I’m mysterious
I tell them I don't want nothing serious
'Cause even on a slow day
I could have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I’m so much cooler online
Yeah, I'm cooler online

When you got my kind of stats
It’s hard to get a date
Let alone a real girlfriend
But I grow another foot and I lose a bunch of weight
Every time I login

Online
I’m out in Hollywood
I’m 6 foot 5 and I look damn good
Even on a slow day
I could have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I’m so much cooler online
Yeah, I’m cooler online
I’m so much cooler online
Yeah, I’m cooler online

Yeah, I’m cooler online

Yeah, I’ll see ya online

warm jets 'future signs' has some terrible line like "the internet says, don't worry love..." etc etc

Essential Logic - "On the Internet"

from 97 or so, I think.

boy from canada by jane vs world is 100% about internets and also explains common abbreviations like LOL and OMG

there was a Paul K. song in '96 I think called "Internet Worm"

yes, "Internet Worm"

that Essential Logic song is awful btw

Lung Leg, "Kung Fu on the Internet," 1995

Le Tigre: "Get Off The Internet"

Chuck Berry, "I'm Going to Invent the Internet," 1958

I'll go with the more obvious "Google Me" (Teyana Taylor)

ha, had this playing as I saw the thread

Aaron Carter's 'My Internet Girl' to thread. Gnarly Disney Radio tween hit.

Marie Lloyd, "Check Out This Awesome Post on 4Chan", 1906

i always thought that 'tantalized' by the church could be about the internet. and drugs.

Francis Albert Sinatra, "I've Cancelled My Fully Clothed Pissing Subscription for You," 1948

wait, wouldn't it be more difficult to list ironic references?

'Greensleeves' (1580, unknown) was of course a lament about one man's loss of his Second Life girlfriend, Greensleeves DeCuir. However, I suppose that doesn't count, as it's an online environment, rather than a true internet application. Still, it was way ahead of its time - the word avatar meant something completely different back then.

I'm gonna put your number on the call block
have AOL make my email stop

"Hello," Poe (1995)

Hello, hello
Are you out there?
M.O.D. are you out there?
I can't see your face
But you left a trace on a data back-road
That I almost erased
Not even God takes this long to get back
So get back
'Cause I hit a fork in the road
I lost my way home
I'm cut off from out main line
Like a disconnected modem
Hello
Tap in the code
I'll reach you below
No one should brave the underworld alone
Hello, hello, hello
How do I reach you?
Word has it on the wire
That you don't who you are
Well if you could jack into my brain
You'd know exactly what you mean here
Mothers are trails on stars in the night
Fathers are black holes that suck up the light
That's the memory I filed on the fringe
Along with the memory of the pain you lived in
Hello
I don't have the password
But the path is chainlinked
So if you've got the time
Set up the tone to sync
Tap in the code
I'll reach you below
Hello, hello
Are you out there

Sway ft $tush - "F Ur X"

"I'm gonna get wicked if he don't get rid of your digits
An' stop sending you kisses on Facebook dot com"

Destiny's Child runs this thread. "I'm not gonna dis you on the Internet/'cause my mama taught me better than that"

that's some hip, up with the times mama to advise a daughter against internet dissing

Her mama must have been ahead of her time though. :)

You MySpacin and Facebookin, playin games with them toys
I'm in the streets where gangstas meet, while you're online with them boys

Prince: "My Computer"

"Welcome, you've got mail" [AOL sample]
(Computer) [sample repeats in BG]
It was Sunday night, instead of doing what I usually do I..

CHORUS:
I scan my computer looking 4 a site
Somebody 2 talk 2, funny and bright
I scan my computer looking 4 a site
Make believe it's a better world, a better life

Nothing on TV I ain't seen before
Another murder on the news, I can't take no more
Evil Incorporated, blowing up bombs and thangs
I have a child, huh, I have a lot 2 explain
I could write a letter, but who would I send it 2?
It was Sunday night, instead of doing what I usually do I..

CHORUS

I called an old friend of mine just the other day
No congratulations, no respect paid
All she did was wonder if the rumors were true
I said - "No, I ain't dead yet, but uh.. what about U?"
I can count my friends with a peace sign: 1, 2
It was Sunday night, instead of doing what I usually do I..

I scan my computer looking 4 a site
Somebody 2 talk 2, funny and bright (Oh)
I scan my computer looking 4 a site
Make believe it's a better world, a better life (A better life)

I got no mail, my computer

I told them I don't wanna see a doctor unless he's lonely 2
Every Sunday night, instead of doing what I usually do I..

I scan my computer looking 4 a site
Somebody 2 talk 2, funny and bright
I scan my computer looking 4 a site
Make believe it's a better world (Make believe it's a better world)
A better life {x52}

"Goodbye" [AOL sample]

That's from 1996, must be one of the first songs by a major artist specifically about the internet.

"I sent a message on the internet but it rejected"
