Customer Reviews
A Song That Grows As A Novelty
First off, I gave this song 4-stars because nobody else has yet done so. But anyways, when I first heard this song in full, I wasn't impressed, and the MacBook commercial seemed to get the best part of the song. I mean the song was original, different, and a throwback to who knows when, but it just wasn't that impressive. Well, I am now sad to say, my opinion hasn't changed much, however this is the type of song that grows on you. So at first you may hate it, then you'll think it's OK, then you'll like it, then you might love it.

The song has a real novel quality, in that it's a novelty. It's not going to win Grammy's, but it's fun. I really started loving it when me and my family found ourselves singing along with the 'la la la la' part. However, the song is great for the first two minutes or so, then it starts falling apart, going off in weird and strange directions. So like most Peter Jackson movies, this song needed to go back to the editing room. Sure 2-minutes isn't very long, but when your peak is a MacBook commercial, you can shorten the song a bit.

So overall, you might love it, you might hate it. It's a strange and different song that may be far from perfect, but it has some very good elements to it. And that might just make the song worth buying...

Real Score: 3.5

Not To My Liking
Open minded, I gave it a try and listened more than once. This CD just doesn't work for me. Nice album cover though.

Rubbish.........
Commercial always use annoying songs don't they? This one takes the cake. I had to look it up, so I could hate it more, if you can understand that. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalk board. Not good at all.
