Since being posted to YouTube in late January, we’ve had so many requests to post this video that today’s most recent email request finally broke this camel’s back. We hereby inflict or present (you decide) HappySlip’s “Mac Beautiful” based on “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt:

We’ve certainly seen less funny things broadcast nationwide on SNL.
Terrific! What’s not to like about that?!
Well done.
Well the video quality is good.
No where in the computing industry do you get people to love their computers the way people love their Apple computers. I believe this was tastefully done. Granted, this is a little extreme. However, I don’t see anyone out there singing about their windoze computer…but, I could be wrong.
It’s great, but you’ve got to be an Apple fan to really appreciate it.
Quality is good, girls talented and quite the looker, and trust me, I’m FAR from a negative person, but;
A. I would hope she has better things to do with her time.
B. I’m SOOOOOO sick of these youtube video parodies, or whatever you want to call them.
C. Does this REALLY need to be posted here?
and yes… I’ve always used the ‘You just wish you had a fan base that loved their computers as much as us apple users’ point MANY times on my PC fans. So I’ll second that statement.
hehe, actually already had this video on bookmark. always wonder where she found a 24″ lcd display?

WELL DONE!!!!!!
Windows Vista, its your your turn. Oh.. wait! Nobody wants to listen you……
never mind.
I think she needs to get out more……
I don’t know. I think this sucks. Well executed, it just makes my soul twist and torment like someone is pissing on my forehead.
That’s my WOW moment
I love macs but that was dumb
AND… she didn’t sing the melody right… it’s too straight and weird.
AND… it’s so obvious she’s reading the music it annoying..,
She looked like she was gettin ready to throw a hump on that Mac Pro! Lucky thing!
I think it is funny. Simultaneously tongue-in-cheek and reverential.
lol ^^
i saw this video a couple of months ago.. now it’s on the frontpage og MDN!
The girl is famous! (and pretty

AJ,
Someone did sing about their Windoze machine:

……so very inspiring. I’m moved to make my very own Vista video …..even though personally I’m not interested in
bringing Vista into my cell ..I mean my home. I’m going to have my bare ass sing a tune of sorts ..if it can be
imagined it can be done. One big baritone orifice bellowing like the Longhorn it wanted to be but couldn’t because
of feasibility tissues. I’ll let you know when it’s posted …donations will be declined but thankyou, anyway.
I’m at work and so can’t watch it (they block all streaming video), but is it that Asian chick singing? I’ve seen that on YouTube – quite annoying.
“Tang me, Tang me
They oughta take a rope and Zune Tang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you squirt for me?”
(apologies to Roger Miller)
She is very good looking, very talented, and it’s a pleasure to see that she posted this and hopefully is proud of it despite the many people that make all kinds of complaints. There is a lot worse stuff done by people with absolutely no talent at all, so this was fun. How many of the complainers could do anything even close to what she did for everyone’s entertainment?
Now, I must say I feel sorry for Chuck (writing above) who says it feels “like someone is pissing on my forehead” when he watches this. How many times have people pissed on that forehead of yours Chuck?

How can you NOT love a song that’s rhymes “interface” with “such pretty taste”:
The interface /
has such pretty taste /
and I don’t know
what to do.
Reminds me of the song “A Pessimistic Ballad” on an album by Kathrin King Segal, that has this classic lyric:
My honey left me and he took my cats and all my stuff /
My house is falling down and I am not earning enough /
No one will ever love me, I can’t afford a nice vacation /
And I’m out of seratonin re-uptake inhibitor medication

Thanks very much

I wish her performance was more cheerful. She seemed sad, and maybe somewhat heart broken. I understand that can be love’s effect though.
I’m sure she’s popped a lot of Mac fanboy woodies with this.
Dog,
The basic point is this; Just because she did something like this better then most people doing the same thing on youtube, still doesn’t make it a good thing. Being talented is one thing, but the way you apply those talents is what makes them worthwhile.
