I'm glad I got a couple chuckles and really wish I had had more time to actually write. But this was done in 20 minutes while I was in a bathroom so all and all, not bad for the environment.
And yeah totally only wrote it because the song was in my head. Why the first automaton got it sooner the the other? Obviously his download finished first.
As for the deflating, it was more a reference to how people get "puffed up" sometimes when they're sure of something and the like. I was going to use 'wilt' but that made me think of spinach.
