Crimes against music - Seven of the worst!
03/02/07 14:30 Filed in: Technology
Often or not, I find myself having a quick look around YouTube now again and I somehow always manage to find the VERY worst in music.
I'm not sure if there is a specific category for this... and certainly it seems like Apple/Mac seem to be greatest inspiration.. but check out some of these pretty terrible musical tributes.
There would be more... but I can't be bothered looking harder
1. I'm the computer man
I'm particular keen on the bloke 'chair dancing'. But why is the 'Computer Man' dressed as an ice cream salesman.
Worst of all... after about 5 or 6 times you actually enjoying the b-b-b-biddy-bop bits. Tragic.
2. "I think we're a clone now"
This 'classic' from the old days of Apple - that's Apple MISUS Steve Jobs.
As for Intel stock crashing in response to the effects of RISC. Hmmm. Perhaps not. Think that might have been a little pre-emptive and I don't think Microsoft screamed that much. Sorry lads. Still, nice campus. Wonder what happened to the giant icons on the lawn?
One final point on this one - "Themselfes"
3. Apple tribute song - James Blunt's lawyers on stand by.
"Some would call it dorky, some would call it cheesy" - And they would of course be right. Still, nice piano.
4. Apple Song
You'll need to click through to YouTube to see this.
We touch the world... and make it deaf! Just about as close you can get to "What a feeling" by Irene Cara without having to take a visit to the nearest courts. I think the video slip with this video actually ENHANCES the soundtrack.
Apple, a company synonymous with media and good taste; long AFTER this video. Because this is just bloody awful.
Not to show biased... Here are some Windows songs.
5. Windows 386 Song... Somebody PLEASE shoot her.
This song is so shockingly misguided that it beggars belief.
Woah Woah Woah Windows 386, Woah woah rubbish ad. Woah woah dreadful idea.
Also, does Windows really remove your need to wear prescription spectacles? Quite a claim I think.
6. Windows 95 Launch Video
"Start me up!". Then about 30 minutes later when something crashes and brings down the entire OS you have "Start me up!" again. Song OK... sentiment not.
7. Expect more with Quest Software
Yes, expect 30 year old white nerds rapping. I'm sure it sounded like a VERY good idea at the time. But now... Oooooh.
Of course no computer related video would be complete without these Doom 3 guys.
Nothing to do with music... Just very funny
Can a boy REALLY scream that high? Wow...
For all those feeling just a little smug, just remember who it was who used to watch Doctor Who from BEHIND the sofa. You know whom I'm talking to. Anybody 35 years and older.
