That is exactly how I feel about apple products. Thank you for putting my feelings to that wonderful Malvina song

[allurabunny]

did anyone notice there was NOT a yellow one?

[JamesTheEntertainer]

youre a god.

[avinabacca]

Sweet parody - makes the point very well indeed :)

[connorjoe4]

lol this is great but i do love the orginal

[swittlesworld]

This is a pretty failure of a video... iPods are amazing MP3 players, the use of an MP3 player is not an attempt to be original.

Everyone buys things in colors they like... clothes, cars, appliances... if it comes in a color you prefer over another for the same price you buy it.

So basically you're saying the ability to buy a useful piece of technology in a color you like somehow means that person must be trying to express themselves and be original...

Only an idiot would rate this highly.

[altheathepirate]

I actually read that, give me back those 15 seconds of my life.

[ucsb1985]

Of course the use of an MP3 player is not meant to be an expression of personality. However, Apple is branded to be an expression against the "norm"; that buying an I-pod is an expression of originality. This video is saying, IMO, that the consumer fetish of originality isn't, well, original. That because is marketed as "artistic" or "hip" or "outside the box" doesn't make it so. Some consumers buy into the notion that the product lives up to the marketing hype.

[aremmeltwo]

@ucsb1985 EXACTLY. well put. thank you.

[Sephiroth490]

Dude Nice that's probably the best use of the song yet.

[girlstorm09]

i dont think ipods or any eletronic devices are to do with personality in my opinion they are just things......we use them for entertainment....and companies make money ect ect. Thats about it. What we are in the inside makes us who we are not an Ipod

[anonymees]

Though I did enjoy this, I think it is a bit of a straw man. No matter how much apple markets it this way, I don't think very many people actually view ipods as an expression of originality or personality. It's ironic, whover made this is also buying into the same marketing it is attacking.

And no, I don't have an ipod, so i'm not saying this out of butthurt.

[stoppanig]

Nice one, I think Malvina Reynolds would approve :-)

[lbka123]

HAAAHAA!!!! are you talking abouts Feist's pants or the ipod?

[vertyvert]

brilliant and snarky

[hollywoodliberal]

clever :)

[chinatownmusiq]

you must cant afford an ipod =D

[jesscadoch]

you must cant use proper grammar!

[lockednessie]

Hah hah, the ellipsis on your comment section.

Still, I like the message.

[linkinparkluv3r4ever]

lol, so random!^^

[mattg0110]

absolutely fantastic!!

[ACityTheSeaAssaults]

but, they're so small.

and cute.

[hwkmoon269]

i have never left a comment on a video before, but: you, and your video, totally rule.

[ilovehalpert]

that is f-ing awesome!! great work!!!

[jessiebennett]

luv it!

[samusamu]

haha, even tho i like ipods, i thought this was great.

i know ipods are really kinda lame but the software is so easy to use. i don't care about my music player expressing who i am (at least not on the outside) if you need it to do that, you are pretty boring. i just want it to be easy to use and ipod is.

[Korteenea]

What's funny is the people who judge others because they own an iPod. How shallow is that, honestly? I own an iPod and I own it because I like it and because—unlike most electronics companies out there—Apple actually seems to get that the user is priority #1. Thus, they don't skimp on making the software great (and therefor extremely popular).

[crazyboy2026]

It's called neo-consumerism.

Some people just can't understand that being the same is so much fun! And easy.

[sockpuff]

really?

I'd rather be myself and not who other people want me to be

[christinewebb86]

i think it's crap that they used this song for this add, clearly if you listen to the original, and you know anything about what malvina sang about, i don't think she'd be thrilled. if she was alive, i'm sure she wouldn't have allowed that.

[samusamu]

did you actually listen to and get the spoof? unless you misunderstood the either the original or the spoof i can't see any other way you would come to make a comment like that.

[Punktuality]

Only just stumbled upon your comment, and, well, you missed the point really didn't you. Malvinas song (which is BRILLIANT) is about conformity, and this (rather delightful parody) has updated the conformity aspect to almost perfection. Speaking on behalf of a dead person you didn't know with such certainty as you have is foolish. But that said, I think Malvina would love this. GOOD JOB.

[DeathnoteBB]

@Punktuality I don't think he missed the point exactly, it's just not exactly the same.

[BrooklynSama]

@christinewebb86 The original is talking about the exact same thing.

[jac9876543210]

this was good plus i think i'm getting one of those for christmas

[lsloan]

VVG! Of course, I think the original "ticky tacky" song was about little houses that all look the same. Nice adaptation to "random widget X".

[ParaWanderer]

The original was about people being conformists.

[vassarmark]

Thank god there a few of you out there that understand the real meaning of the song!!!!

[Imbender]

The original was poking fun at everyone conforming, not advocating for it.

[ralphwiggumslover]

cool song

[anonymees]

[lemonsherbert04]
