And now for something completely different…check out this entertaining performance of a R&B song by Michael T Roberts and Will Hammond Jr. sung from the perspective of a heat pump, a heat pump with “a whole lotta love to give.” Warning: The lyrics (below) are a bit spicy.

(I’m Your) Heat Pump Lyrics

Baby, tell me what you want…
Cool days…? Warm nights…?
Yeah, sometimes we all need a little help
To make everything just right
Not too hot, not too cold…
Goldilocks
And what I wanna tell you, babe, is I got the tools to hit that sweet spot
Every time
I wanna help you, babe
Wanna blow your mind…

I’m your heat pump
When you want it hot, I’m hot for you
(I’m your heat pump)
When you want it cool, I’m cool witchu, babe
‘Cause I can do it all for you, baby
All you got to do is turn me on
And I’ll go on and on for you (check me out)

Part of me goes inside (inside)
Part of me goes out (all of me pumpin’ for you)
I’m precisely calibrated
To make you scream and shout (’cause I’m electric in yo’ hizzy)
‘Cause I can move heat in or out (in or out)
‘Til you feel what you wanna be feelin’
You and me + electricity (come on) = Climatic healing (Math y’all!)

I’m your heat pump (pumpin’ it, baby)
When you want it hot, I’m hot for you
(I’m your heat pump – blowin’ it out for you)
When you want it cool, I’m cool witchu, babe
Don’t matter if you’re livin’ in the sun or snow
Any place you go
I’ll be there for you
That’s all I wanna do

I’m switched on
Sippin’ on electrons
Never gonna burn fuel
‘Cause I prefer to keep the planet cool
All day, all night I keep hummin’
Keeping hydrocarbons quakin’ ‘cause I’m comin’
No time for waitin’, I’m-a get proliferatin’
In every state and every nation, gonna stimulate the conversation
It’s time to get BUSY
Cut your gas line, I’m electric in yo’ hizzy

(I’m your heat pump)
When you want it hot, I’m hot for you
(I’m your heat pump)
When you want it cool, I’m cool witchu, babe
Any way you want it, I got you, babe
I got you, baby
I’m your heat pump
