lyrics and video parody written by michael james nelson

Behind the lights
Getting frequencies right
He moves in space, sometimes with haste and maximum joy

High stakes,
His back does ache,
He wishes for a microphone with higher heights

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
Then things go silent, not even a fart
The microphones break, his craft really starts

No need to panic
He’s a boom operator
Boom operator, boom operator
Boom operator

Extend that boom all the way to Key Largo, all is game
High overhead hold still for the moment, out of frame

*****(Instrument solo)******

Face to face, a steady pace
We shadow box and double cross
Stick with the pace

The cast is moving, continue to hold
Recording memories, converting sound into gold
His mic is like an angel sent from above

No need to panic
He’s a boom operator
Boom operator, boom operator
Boom operator

Extend that boom all the way to Key Largo, all is game
High overhead hold still for the moment, out of frame

Boom operator, boom operator
Boom operator, boom operator
Boom operator, boom operator
Boom operator, boom operator
Boom operator, boom operator
