Natasha Leggero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
oh, I was just at the DMV in Los Angeles
I dont know if you know this now but they are giving
Free AIDS tests, and the DMV
now the only thing worse that waiting in line at the DMV is finding out you have AIDS
THEY'VE CONBINED THEM
In "As Little As Possible," Natasha Leggero humorously confronts the common complaints about customer service today, using the example of her experience waiting in line at the DMV in Los Angeles. She draws attention to the DMV's new service of offering free AIDS tests while highlighting the frustration of waiting in long queues. The lyrics suggest that discovering one's AIDS status may be worse than enduring the boredom and inefficiency of the waiting process at the DMV. The mocking and satirical tone of the song suggests a critique of the way customer service has become less personal, less effective and less involving, highlighting the negative impacts of such shifts.
The song highlights the theme of the commodification of public services and the superficiality of customer interaction in many modern industries. The lyrics also reflect the inhumanity of the bureaucratization of commercial services, and the sense of discomfort and annoyance experienced by customers as a result. Overall, As Little As Possible is an entertaining and comic commentary on the state of modern customer service.
