This is our Macbook Air/Start Me Up Commercial Parody!

IBM Thinkpad Commercial (Parody)

It's a video that I made as a parody of some popular computer commercials. Here's a rundown of what happens:
0:00-0:57: Macbook Air parody. Unboxing laptop from old case. Song: New Soul by Yael Naim.
0:58-1:15: No "parody" here, just the computer angles to the tune of "Eye of the Tiger". Song: Eye of the Tiger by Surviver.
1:16-2:50: Song about waiting while the computer boots up. Fitting, huh? Song: Wouldn't it be Nice by the Beach Boys.
2:51-3:15: Classic Windows 95 "Start Me Up" commercial parody! Song: Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones.
3:16-3:44: The Windows 95 tetris game "PC Tris" to the Gameboy Tetris theme. Song: Tetris theme.
3:45-5:27: Return of the Start Me Up song! Installing Monopoly for Windows. Song: Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones.
5:28-6:26: Playing Monopoly. Song: 44th Street by Apple, inc.
6:27-6:46: Shutting the computer off. Song: Curtain Call by Apple, inc.
