Better Than Van Halen? Obviously!

So I attended a virtual meeting on the Microsoft Campus yesterday (using the amazing Windows Meeting Space, natch) where I was asked for my opinion about a new Bing jingle.* It's good to see Microsoft took my advice. Their innovative work with Soundsmith is paying off, obviously.



Lyrics:

Bing, Bing, Bing Goes the Internet,
Bing, Bing, Bing Goes the Internet,
Bing, Bing, Bing Goes the Internet
Bing Goes the Internet…

If you’re looking to learn how to dance like me – Bing goes the Internet
If you want to find some pants like me – Bing goes the Internet
If you’re looking for answers to all of life’s questions – Bing goes the Internet
If you’re looking for fixes to all of life’s messes – Bing goes the Internet

Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing Goes the Internet
Bing, Bing, Bing Goes the Internet
Bing, Bing, Bing Goes the Internet
Bing Goes the Internet…

* Longtime readers are familiar with my cutting-edge musical tastes.

Where In The World Is Paul Thurrott?

In case you haven't noticed, I'm back in my beloved Paris.

Have I mentioned I love Europe? Obviously. No more shitty American "coffee". No more stupid Americans everywhere I go. Just brilliant Europeans and smart people like myself.

This is the life. If it weren't for the friggin' European Union and their hatred for Microsoft, I'd move here.
