Internal Apple music video that parodies Windows 95. This parody was shown to Apple employees in the fall of 1995 when Microsoft released Windows 95. This video contains four parodies: 1) "U Can't Use This" (U Can't Touch This) 2) "Killing My Software With Windows" (Killing Me Softly With His Song) 3) "Tears of a Clone" (Tears of a Clown) 4) "I Want a Mac" (I Want You Back) - Lyrics by Dave Gar...
How I am just finding this now
This was a super hit with Amiga users in Spain in the late 90s. The worst thing about this is that basically everything continues to be true if you change the unit magnitudes.
I loved this parody at the time. But I’ve been racking my brains for a decade to remember where I saw the flying apple car and there it is!
This was definitely a parody of 'I think I'm a clone now', and not 'I think we're alone now'.
Anyone here in 2024?
In the spirit of that one line, even Nintendo went straight from 8-bit microprocessors to exclusively RISC designs since the N64 and GBA.
They predicted Microsoft telemetry lol
When RUclips was a pool of creativity 😢
Weird Al, they ain't.
HMMMMMM COPY OF WEIRD AL "i think im a clone now" surely not a parody of a parody
Welp 28 years later things are way worse now with windows 10/11 (especially 11) Also back then apple had good products and they were something more intreasting and unique, now apple is making bad products that are more propiretary than unique
I'm not sure of Apple's inventory is going down, but I definitely think it's a clone now. Intel is the true American company between all of them, Apple, AMD, Nvidia, etc... Intel makes their own and produces their own. Still, Intel is milking it. How tf they gonna have 14nm and still be as fast as, and more compatible than a 7nm chip from TSMC that ships to Nvidia and AMD? I wisht that Intel would just beef it up and blow them out of the water.
As someone else has said, x86 will never go away, it's the US military among instruction sets. That said, that cat and mouse game has only continued, with Intel shipping the third generation of processors in the Intel 7 process (which is really just their fumbled 10nm process with all the kinks ironed out, but with a higher transistor density than the competition) while TSMC is already at 4nm/3nm.
It is 2023, Windows is successful and Mac OS is dead/useless. Mac users just surf the internet and they buy Ipads instead of macs.
Even the most misguided ideas are backed by a wave of enthusiasm.
absolutely love this song
I can think of sooo many good Mac themed parodies lol, "Return of the Mac" would be hilarious
Nothing has change ... its got even worse 🤣 The last bit at the end is so prophetic🥴
Dave Garr was definitely a Weird Al fan. A lot of the lyrics here are straight from his spoofs. Still some good stuff.
Anyone else find it even funnier the 2nd time?
How is this only 63k views in 10 years...
good song
there's a lot of good gags in this video but my favourite is when they're handing out macs and the kid who's supposed to be michael dell gets the macintosh xl
The 90's were interesting to say the least.
hahahahahaha fcc ruined the internet
Weird Al is gonna sue. >.>
What is wrong with me? Why do I find this entertaining after decades
Because it's still true.
Mac fanboys are old.
Not a year has gone by since I first heard this in the 1995 Apple employee meeting where I haven't sung the chorus to "Killing Me Softly" to myself. That also includes the 15 years after Apple where I worked at Microsoft. Beautifully exe.cuted.
65scribe bring me there.
I remember discovering this through another RUclips user, and didn't know this was an internal video from Apple employees at the time, that I imagined encouraged their Mac OS team to work harder.
So happy to find this on youtube. It's been almost 25 years since I heard this!
The happiest song about one of Apple's worst decisions ever.
Note that this is actually a slight reworking of Weird Al's parody of Tiffany's original.
And in turn, Tiffany's version is a cover of a song originally by Tommy James and the Shondells in 1967. So this Apple version is a parody, of a parody, of a cover, of a song originally from 1960s.
My husband used to build OEM white box systems with Win95 and to this day I can't stand Weezer because the song to check all was good with the video and sound card was "Buddy Holly" :-/
As far as I know, the song was in a "fun stuff" folder on the retail install CD, and it was probably hard for them to get other video files to test with since they likely didn't have the hardware required to capture video from a VHS tape.
I'm so glad I ran across this! I've described it, and even sang large chunks of it, to people over the years and they never believed this actually existed. I didn't know about the Tiffany song until much later. I had to listen to it on repeat when I worked for a couple of months at Computer City before I got my first real IT job.
@kimswartz231 Was that Computer City in Atlanta?
god the i wnat a mac part was gerat
Just Classic. If you knows the original songs and Windows 95 (first release) you can feel these songs. So lucky I had my OS/2 system optimized back then D`: And then you recognize you are a BBoomer Clap
Lmao windows 11 requiring tpm 2.0
42,000 ultra nerds have been here.
my school must have been the only place that bought Mac clones
@Super Mario I never did see any mac clones at any stores
@Super Mario schools must have been how apple stayed in business in the mid90s
Just sold my MacPro 2009 and built a Ryzen 5600x with RTX 3090 and..... I CANT USE THIS!! DA DA DA DAAA!! I CANT USE THIS! 😆😆
things did not change much since 1995... windoze still sucks
He forgot to mention the best thing about being a clone. You can play with yourself, and nobody would have a problem with it. And to all you perverts, when I say "play with yourself", I mean playing a two player game with your clone self, and the clone would be your opponent.
I have seen this a bunch of times over the years. There is just something about how he sings "And Apple inventory's finally going down" that always sticks with me.
They finally did this in 2020 after releasing macbook m1
Umm, no? M1 has no clones.
Gawd, I remember seeing this originally at a Mac User's Group in the day.
This is so great. This is well done and with better production than most top youtube videos in 2021.
Just wanted to say great work on Winsongs 95. This was something that was shared around and I got hold of at an old Mac Users group in the 90's. Just came across the original .mov file in my backups. Still gave me a good laugh today. Wondered if it had survived into the modern era of the internet, and lo and behold, its on RUclips and uploaded by the original writer nonetheless. Thanks for all the laughs.
Just to get the irony, Apple nearly went bankrupt in a couple of years, and had to hastily build an OS on a UNIX base, with its insane memory requirements, typing the path with the fingers, lack of compatibility and other fancy stuff. Microsoft however, ported its impressive software library to the NT platform with little or no issues. Figures.
And now Mac is going back to RISC and ditching intel hopefully for good. The kid with the NeXT shirt and all the hate on pentium lmao.
No hate, just dissing. Technically Macs never left RISC: all Intel processors since the switch in 2006 have been RISC internally, with a CISC emulator on top (for compatibility). The only real CISC they had was the much-inferior 68k architecture.
@@RedHairdo this is false. CISC relates to the ISA level, not uArch level. The qualities of CISC are being microcoded (check, microcode can also be updated), variable length instructions (check, 1-15 instruction length), complex memory operations (check, add [ds:esi+ecx*2+0x67452301], 0xEFCDAB89). The qualities of RISC are SIMPLE control units (modern x86 processors have a simple decoder, complex decoder, and microcode sequencer, with macro-op fusion), and load-store (even new x86 additions like SSE have direct memory-register operations). All modern CPUs have a front-end and a back-end. The frontend fetches and decodes instructions into micro-ops which are fixed size. Even the 8086 did this even though it only had a microcode sequencer. On the P6 uOps were 118 bits long. The failure of the 68k had very little to do with it being CISC but rather to do with poor timing and decisions. 68k didn't have a built in MMU until the 030 but only for some models, 010 broke software, 020 was pointless, 040 was better than i486 but later i486 models could beat it by just outclocking it, 050 didn't exist, 060 was equivalent to a P5 but came out a year later. Both the 060 and P5 had very similar uArchs (superscalar in-order dual execution unit pipeline) but they abandoned it for PPC. They could have kept improving it if they really wanted to.
@@DorperSystems 68K was a Pure Micro Computer that first hit the market in 1979-1980. The 68K powered the Amiga and Sega Genesis. In 1985-1988.
That video is probably one of the first i ever got from the internet back then. Good old times... Or are they?
