The promotional video for Microsoft’s Songsmith is so atrocious that parody would be redundant. Sleep well, knowing that you had nothing to do with this ad, or for that matter, this product.
No wonder the recent trend of post-modern meta-art inspired by this karaoke machine from hell. This extremely catchy bluegrass Billy Idol cover is my favorite so far. I dare you to get it out of your head after a listen.
I like how it’s done straight. You can find more form the artist at his blog, entertainmentweekly.com. I’m beginning to become I am a big fan of eighties pop videos. They are like the American version of Bollywood, unapologetically surreal, bombastic, and ostentatious. Sort of like, er, Songsmith. I think I may be becoming a convert. Thank you, Laughing Squid.
