Macintosh-themed music at iTunes
Reader Stephen Flynn pointed us to the John Swerden collection of Macintosh-themed songs in the iTunes store. The songs, whose highlights include "Poor Sad Mac" and "Quickdraw Bill", are in a folk style which may or may not be to your taste.
This inspired me to see whether I could track down other Apple-themed songs in the iTunes collection. Hint. "Fleetwood Mac" and "Fiona Apple" are not Apple related. "iPod" turned out to be the easiest term to search for. Here's what I found.
I Love My iPod by Daphne Kalfon
Bubbly pop.
iPod by Serengeti
Electronic/Hip-Hop.
iPod by Mo-b & Simple from the Sandpeople Present
Hip-Hop.
Bruce Smirnoff's iPod Joke by Andy Vastola
Spoken Humor.
I Love My Computer by Bad Religion
Rock. Okay, this isn't technically about Apple. But it's fun.

Does this count?
Public Enemy's 'Welcome to the Terrordome' from way back in 1990 had a line that goes:
"Attack so I sat and japped
Then slapped the Mac(Intosh)
Now I'm ready to mike it
(You know I like it) huh"
Does "On A Podcast" by Cruisebox count? Gottaluvit!

As I recall was in the UK charts at about the same time Firewire got put on the iMac DV....
bonus points if you can find songs that sample the Mac startup sound.
