The other day I posted a video on the blog, to show you how I use a mixture of Auto Scrolling and Google Docs to quickly make demos of new music so that I can test out what fans are going to respond to the best.
Well when I heard that Steve Jobs had resigned as the almighty ruler of Apple, inspiration hit me and I quickly fired off a little tune using the exact method I was talking about.
So I thought why not jump in-front of the camera, dance around like a crazy person and see how many hits we can send over to the Save the Children website in the next few months.
This is an example of tracking what’s going on in the real world and creating a musical response that will be interesting to people who are following the story.
But the important thing to remember is that I really do love Apple stuff and genuinely wanted to give Steve Jobs some apparition for his years of service.
It goes without saying but don’t just write crappy stuff to get views.
If you decide to do something like this, writing about things that you’re excited and passionate about will obviously make your tunes more interesting and authentic, which will be really obvious to your viewers.
So have a watch and let me know what you think, also if you have any Mac crazy friends it would be cool if you could pass this on.
Sing and Play Along!

Thank you Steve thank you Steve, thank you for the memories

Life would be less fun without the Macintosh PC
Thank you Steve thank you Steve, I want to thank you Steve
Your intellect and thoughtfulness make me want to pee
Thank you Steve thank you Steve, I really hope you’re happy
Your commencement speech for Stanford grads I’m watching on repeat
iMovie, iTunes ee, I’m recording this on Garage Band
And I’m using my iSite cam so that you can see me
We just want to see you well, presenting keynote with the gradient theme
You give a presentation better than that Barack Obamie
I confess I killed an iPhone spilling water on the screen
I took it to the Apple Store and I tried to lie you see
I said it just stopped working, they popped it open instantly
They knew that I was lying and could not replace it for me
I’m sorry and in future I promise you full honesty
The problem was I had no insurance policy
Thank you Steve thank you Steve, I’m going to buy a turtle neck
And try to build an iPhone 5 from my old school iPhone 3
The iMac is amazeballs, such power without a tower
Just one wire, no spaghetti, that’s what I want to see
I think I only use 5% of the power of my macky
I don’t know what time machine does and my doc looks out of wack
And every TV show that wants to look cool has the apple
For some reason I don’t see this as offensive or a hassle
It comes naturally when people want to show class and style
The Apple store is amazing, I’ve thought so for a while
Finger marks on my screen, iWorks looking tainted
You provide a happy little cloth, to be honest I’m elated
Microsoft are circling and skipping around with glee
But their products aren’t as shiny or as fun as you achieve
You put the silicon in the valley, you put the sugar in my tea
Hell will freeze over before I use a windows-based PC
Apple’s shares are going to slump, the stock market will be reeling
But with your amazing legacy there really is no ceiling
Forrest Gump invested big, do you know him personally?
Life is like an iPod shuffle spitting randomly
Everytime I eat an apple I only take a bite,
An awful waste of apples but I know that I am right
I look around my office all the money I have spent
I remember the beautiful packaging that smelled magnificent
Some bastard stole my iPod can you tell me if you see it
It’s pure white with a click, totally unique
Will you will you will you will you Facetime with me?
When you’re feeling better let’s meet up for a coffee
Thank you Steve thank you Steve, I want to thank you Steve
Join me in my campaign to properly thank Steve
Thank you Steve thank you Steve, Thanks you Steve
