Make Jessica Simpson say your name



This is kind of neat. Yahoo! Music is offering a customized MP3 of Jessica Simpson's song 'A Public Affair.' What is customized about it? If your name is on a predetermined list you can buy a version of the song that includes your name in the lyrics for only $1.99.

Scott is currently on the list, but I don't think I'll be shelling out 2 bucks for this novelty, though it will play on your iPod (and you can burn it to a CD).

Just a followup, Yahoo Billing gave me my refund for the duplicate download. I just replied to my email receipt.

I certainly appreciated Scott's post. This was the first time I bought a song online (from a big name provider, no less) that I could play on my iPod. How could this not be relevant?

Paul, thanks. I think it might have been an issue with the Quicktime plugin on Windows because after purchasing, I was brought to a page with the Quicktime plugin instead of a download page that I got in IE. I also saved the mp3 file in FFx, but it was only 1kb.

Apple makes iPods, this goes on your iPod.

It is like six degrees of Kevin Bacon, everything is related to Apple.

'This is a just a blog about a computer company. This is a just a blog about a computer company. I shouldn't get upset by anything I read here.'

Okay, I said it. Still doesn't change that this post has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with Apple, the computer company this blog is supposed to be about.

Will, it works in Firefox, IE and Safari for Mac. My friend just bought it today in FFox no problem.

Bad news. A) Seems to only work in IE, hope I don't get charged twice. B) The song isn't anything special (serves me right). C) My name sounds horrible (like a backup singer was dubbed over the vocal track), although it is said two separate ways, Will and then Bill. D) I totally regret this. E) I tried contacting them via some form that too a while to find, but I'm very pessimistic.

The less we hear about no-talent zeros like Simpson (Jay Leno, Regis Philbin, Dr. Phil...) the better.
