In this modern version of a song by Reba McEntire, Reba wonders if her e-mail account was set up properly when she hasn't heard from a friend in a long time.

Why Haven't I Been E-Mailed From You
 
Well back in 1973 an ol' boy named Cerf
Invented a contraption that you and I surf
By the 1990's you could boot without diskette
It's a crazy little thing they call the Internet
You log-in in every corner,in the back of every bar
You can logon in your briefcase,on a plane or in your car
 
Chorus:
So tell me why,haven't I, been e-mailed from you
Tell me why,haven't I, been e-mailed from you
I said now darlin',honey,what is your excuse
Why haven't I been e-mailed from you
 
Well there's no problem gettin to me baby you can use Outlook
I got hotmail and M-S-N I'm even on Facebook
the service man he told me that my D-S-L was workin' fine
And I have come to the conclusion trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the computer store will make a bill of review
So text me for assisstance if this all confuses you
 
Chorus:
So tell me why,haven't I,been e-mailed from you
Tell me why,haven't I,been e-mailed from you
I said now darlin',honey,what is your excuse
Why haven't I been e-mailed from you
 
There'd better be a flood
A landslide of mud
A fire that burns up the wires
And thunder so loud with black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothin about
 
Chorus:
Tell my why,haven't I,been e-mailed from you
Tell me why,haven't I,been e-mailed from you,yeah
I said now darlin',honey,what is your excuse
Why haven't I been e-mailed from you
 
Chorus:
Tell me why,haven't I,been e-mailed from you
Tell me why,haven't I,been e-mailed from you
I said now darlin',honey,what is your excuse
Why haven't I been e-mailed from you,you,you,you,you,you,you,you,you,you,you.
