Last Day to Enter Sir-Mix-a-Lot-Zune Contest: Thursday

I've had a few solid entries to my pointless fun Zune swag giveaway contest. I never really told you what you'd win, though:

You'll win a tee-shirt
(men and women's sizes available).

And this jam jacket from our friends at DLO

Cool swag, huh!? High-five!? (Cesar goes up for the high-five and . . .*you decide*)

greekgoat91

That shirt rules, my friend would go nuts if he saw me with a Zune shirt on

Mandoe Loza

Zune-er than later!!!

Sir Mixed-uP-a-Lot

I like big butts and I can not zune

You other brothers zune deny

That zune a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist

And a round thing in zune face

You get sprung, wanna pull out zune tough

'Cause you notice zune butt was stuffed

Zune in the jeans she's wearing

I'm hooked and I zune stop staring

Oh zune, I wanna get wit'cha

And zune your picture

My homeboys tried to zune me

But zune that butt you got makes me feel so horny

Ah hell I give up

Callidus

okay okay *highfive*

that t-shirt is sweeeet.

anddd..

@Woody56292 i cant really explain it...but the vintage look (like the brown zune) is honestly a godsend to technology...everything is always tending more towards high gloss and square edges with silver and alienish futuristic looking hardware...zune is establishing itself as a fashion.

i dunno if that makes sense...but im lovin the vintage stuff.

go Cesar.

Veni, Vedi, Vicci.

Hey Cesar you forgot the "S.W.A.G.! Stuff We All Get.

Since nobody asked (and being the perfectionist that I am) I have cleaned up, added to, and otherwise perfected my Zune 'rap'.

Please substitue my previous entry with what follows.

Enjoy!

Ballmer's Got Hype

============

Oh, my, god. Becky, look at his Zune.

It is so big. *scoff* It looks like,

one of those rap guys' digital audio players.

But, y'know, who understands those rap guys? *scoff*

They only use it, because,

it looks like a total prostitute, 'kay?

I mean, his Zune is just so big. *scoff*

I can't believe it's so thick, it's like,

out there, I mean - gross. Look!

It's just so ... brown!

[Sir Mix-a-Lot]

I like big hype and I can not lie

You other brothers can't deny

That when a CEO with an itty bitty Zune

Squirts his family in your face

You feel gross! Wanna quit Wi-Fi

And stick with plain hi-fi

Deep in the songs I'm sharin'

D-R-M, so no warez-in'

Oh baby, I wanna send pictures

For you to take wit'cha

My homeboys tried to warn me

No Zunes around, so me's so lonely!

Zune's partner thinks we're theives

So we must pay a tithe

Buy a Zune, Uni gets a buck

but UMG don't give you ****

Ooh, Lump-o'-brown-skin

You say you wanna get installed?

A word to the thick soul sistas,

Your Zune won't work with Vista!

There's dancin', romancin'

On the installation screens

I'm not cool, but my software is

Release my inner DJ

I'm tired of astroturfers

Sayin' socials are the thing

Ask any church lady how this social is

She say it needs more lemonade.

So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)

Has your girlfriend got the Zune? (Probably not!)

Tell 'em it's cool! (Cool!) It's cool! (Cool!)

The Zune is really cool!

Ballmer's got hype!

Yeah, baby ... when it comes to digital audio players, Amazon's top sellers ain't got nothin' to do with my selection. 20-40-61*? Ha, ha, only if we're talking 'bout the Zune black, brown, and white!

(Little that's original, it's got much hype) [4x]
