On a Mac (On a boat) (On a Phone)

I'm putting together a pancake food fundraiser where people can eat food while watching funny commercials. At the mention of this, TC started showing me some YouTube clips including an SNL one, "On a Boat". It was pretty funny. It inspired people to do a parody.


Here is "On a Mac". It's funny if you watch the "On a Boat" first.

I saw the lyrics... and while they were not as unnecessarily vulgar as the "On a boat", I thought they could use some improvement. So I spent the next one and a half hours with the song and changed the lyrics to....

I'm On A Mac

Woah, free macbook.
Now who should I shaaare this with?
Pete (Yes!) and... P.C. Pane
~"Cool"~

Shortayyy
Ahh It's it!
Get your laptops ready, it's about to go down
Everybody on YouTube, watch the flashin' screen
But stay on this multi-flashin' page
We runnin' this "Cinch" --(Cinch is snapz for Mac)--
Let's go!

I'm on a Mac (I'm on a Mac)
I'm on a Mac (I'm on a Mac)
Everybody look at me
'Cause I'm clickin' on a Mac
I'm on a Mac (I'm on a Mac)
I'm on a Mac (I'm on a Mac)
Take a good hard look at the multi-flashin' Mac!

I'm on a Mac, mother father, take a look at me,
Straight iPhone'in hard, got the 3G
Bumpin' iTunes, CoverFlow to be exact
You can't stop me mother father, 'cause I'm on a Mac!
Eat a virus bro
I'm on a Mac Pro
We rockin' 8 cores hard
Watch the screen go
I got my SuperDrive
And my mighty mice-es
I'm pluggin' girls
You at work, pluggin' in devices
I'm on a tandem fixie
And a 64-bit
Friends are jealous
'Cause Parallels can run all of it
But this ain't P.C.,
This is real as it gets
I'm on a Mac, mother father
Don't you ever forget!
I'm on a Mac and
it's runnin' fast and
I bought a neopreen green scuba sleve sham
I'm the king of the Jobs, on a Mac for real
If you're on a PC, then you're not C.E.O.

Get the "flikr" up, this Mac is real! --(flikr is a photo sharing website)--
Forget a Zune, I'm on a Mac, mother father!
Forget right click, multi-touch, my dear sister! --(or mother father... again)
I'm on iChat with my boys, my lost brother! --(or mother father... again)
These turtlenecks ain't cheap, mother father!
Hey, y'all, now I'm an Apple whiz
I never need to learn what a driver is
Gonna say goodbye to *all viruses --(most)--
Like a Nano in pink, anything is possible!
Yeah, never thought I'd be on a Mac --(True that.. pre 2005)--
It's like a streamlined good-for-you crack
Wozniak, (Steve Wozniak founded Apple computer in 1976 with Steve Jobs)
look at me oooh-he-ohoh

I'm on a Mac, I'm on a Mac
Take a good hard look at the multi-flashin Mac!
Sho Sho Sho Sho Sho Sho Sho Sho Sho Shortie
Yeeah-eah Woah-a-roll

*Edited on a Mac

Everybody on YouTube, watch the f***in screen
But stay on this muthaf***in page
We runnin this - let's go

Take a good hard look at the muthaf***in Mac!

I'm on a Mac, muthaf***a, take a look at me,
Straight iPhone'in hard, got the 3G
Bumpin iTunes, CoverFlow to be exact
You can't stop me muthaf***a, cause I'm on a Mac!

We rockin 8 cores hard
Watch the screen go
I got my SuperDrive
And my mighty mice-es

I'm the king of the Jobs, on a Mac for real
If you're on a PC, then you're not C.E.O.

Get the f*** up, this Mac is real!
F*** a Zune, I'm on a Mac, motherf***a!
F*** right click, multi-touch, motherf***a!

Hey, y'all, now I'm an Apple whiz
I never need to learn what a driver is
Gonna say goodbye to all viruses
Like a Nano in pink, anything is possible!
Yeah, never thought I'd be on a Mac
It's like a streamlined good-for-you crack
Wozniiiaaaaak, look at me ooohhhh

I'm on a Mac, I'm on a Mac
Take a good hard look at the muthaf***in Mac!


There is also, "On a phone" --(not as funny as I hoped.. good camera though. I'd like ot know what model. the 1080 is choppy on my connection, but very clear) and "In a Frat"- which looks like it was done by high school seniors, but they have some minor details there which make it funny, like beer in cereal... OK. That was my favorite part. The rest was... Eh... too vulgar. They were trying too hard. It's a fine line when using cuss words, as with coloring outside the lines, singing outside of the song's tune, etc. You have to master the rules before you can break them. People can tell when you haven't mastered the rules and skip to breaking them, and don;t appreciate it as much.
