The power ballad begins with a single employee singing "Jump online or call a rep / We'll guide you through it step-by-step / Twenty-four-seven we'll be there for you." Then a chorus of employees chime in, complete with guitars, drums and a cowbell. Someone dressed as the company's mascot gecko does his best Slash imitation on guitar.
