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"

I think this is totally creative and fun. Definitely amateur, but that is what makes it cool. It is funny and smart and took effort. I would love to see the things all the people dissing the video are doing? What have you done?
All that aside, I loved that the chord or the pad being used in the song was the Start Up Chime chord.
This song would go very good with a future Apple commercial. love it.

September 28 2009 at 1:05 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replythe song was going "okay" until he said "itouch"...
if he loved Apple, he wouldn't pronounce their products wrong.
Maybe this will be as popular as their other hit "Doin' Ur Mom" and "Muppet Sex".
