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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.

Did anyone else die laughing near the end where the fine print asking for blockbuster membership ID??? Just me??? Seriously??? 🤣🤣😂

So happy to find this on youtube. It's been almost 25 years since I heard this!
One of y all time favorites - and the last part about home stereo configuration etc. is more relevant than ever!
Dave Garr was definitely a Weird Al fan. A lot of the lyrics here are straight from his spoofs. Still some good stuff.
That video is probably one of the first i ever got from the internet back then. Good old times... Or are they?
I used to watch this on Google Videos in like 2007 😂😂😂😂
When RUclips was a pool of creativity 😢
ohhh man! how cool is that! GREAT SHIT!!! :D
Lmao windows 11 requiring tpm 2.0
What is wrong with me? Why do I find this entertaining after decades
Because it's still true.
Wow. Awesome stuff, Dave!
They predicted Microsoft telemetry lol

Want a cookie?

Linus needs to make a 2017 version of this 😂
Linus who? Linus Sebastian from LinusTechTips?

cool
The 90's were interesting to say the least.
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
You know it's old when they refer to Snoop as Snoop Doggy Dogg.
Or if it's referring to Windows 95...
All these years and windows is still shit😂
No comma between adjective and subject, dude.
They ripped off "Weird Al" Yankovic quite a bit for that "U Can't Touch This" parody.
Mac fanboys are old.
Anyone else find it even funnier the 2nd time?
Funny... that's exactly how us Linux users feel about Windows users.
Windows STILL is most popular and powerful OS in the world!
Windows is utter trash (except for XP and seven, those were fine)
@@timbermicka 2% trash has whined
@@megapro1725 I never used a Mac lol. But Win8 and 10 are just wrong on so many levels...
wow, those guys are on a legendary level of not funny :-D
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.
Lol ,its very funny :0
