Found Footage: "I fell in love at the Apple Store"
Here's an earworm for you; hip-hop group FattySpins recorded a love song to ladies and to all things Apple, and filmed the video (above) at the landmark Apple Store Fifth Avenue.
The song manages to not only encompass a lot of Apple products in its lyrics, but also manages to poke some good fun at Microsoft. I mean, you've gotta love lyrics like:
"I know how to treat you – this ain't a rebootThe Apple Store Love Song was written and produced by Ray William Johnson, the likable nebbish with the glasses in the video. There's no word on whether or not Apple is going to hire him to produce catchy viral raps for future ads.
I'll never find the need to Control ALT Delete you
I see no reason to mess with these slobs
Cause they're like Bill Gates... and I'm Steve Jobs"

One more time calling the device iTouch, and iTouch your face with a fist!
It is a iPod Touch.

@marc:
It's actually an iPod touch. The "t" is not uppercase.

Drives me insane! I was at Print '09 a few weeks ago (one of the largest Print-related events in the US), and I saw a sign that said "Win a free iTouch". I wanted to knock it over! (I would have, but I had to be professional :P)

Plus why does it matter if it was actually filmed in store. It's a cool, catchy song that relates to apple products.

I want to stab babies and kittens every time I hear the iPod Touch referred to by that slur. That removes any credibility that this guy had with Apple.
