Microsoft is cool (to make fun of)

Ok, if you haven't heard of Songsmith or seen the ridiculously long, even more ridiculously terrible ad for it, here it is:


I present that to you to tell you this: Songsmith is shockingly popular. It would appear that Microsoft has finally done something cool. Oh, wait. Everyone is using Songsmith to show just how absolutely terrible it is. There are tons of great songs on youtube that have been redone using Songsmith, with terrible results. See a few below. I bet Microsoft never intended for their product to be used by so many solely to point out how terrible it is.









Ugh, not all of them will allow embed, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVMfpne6aEc. And there are plenty more where that came from!

wow, a few thoughts:
1. please tell me that that horrible, awful, just completely bad ad was not the product of CP+B and if not, who the hell did it?
2. the doobie brother's song has a nice porn beat
3. nice rick roll you asshole.

Thanks for linking to my videos! I feel fortunate that I haven't run into any of the embedding-rights issues like the guy who tried to make the Rick Astley one did.

Buchie, I agree, the total-funkified Doobs do sound very porny.

Ozzie would not appreciate the polka music. That's for sure.

Oh and Sarah, I think the Microsoft ad was done internally...
