Microsoft Songsmith: so wonderfully bad it hurts

Posted on January 12, 2009 by


You know when you something goes bad in the fridge and you just HAVE to have someone else smell it?  Oh this is terrible, get a whiff.  It's in that same spirit that I am compelled, I tell you, compelled to share with you this wonderfully craptastic advertisement for the Microsoft Songsmith. 

Now it is within the realm of possibility that this product actually rocks.  In the same way that it is possible that Sarah Palin might win the presidency in 2012.  But the chances are close to nil.

Just the same, the commercial is so deliciously dreadful.  Thank you, Microsoft Research Lab, and the unknown advertising firm that probably has a rich future ahead of it creating ads for Ronco on late night television. Thank you, all.

(If this has not totally fried your brain, please listen to what happens when David Lee Roth's singing is combined with Songsmith. I'm so sorry, ahead of time.)

    I know, it’s amazingly dreadful, no? And it only gets worse with further viewings.

    I’m not sure who I hate more – Microsoft, the ad agency, or you Rik. Probably you as I never would have seen that ad otherwise….
