Nov 15 2009Kid Sings Windows 7 Song At Talent Show

This is a video of fifth-grader Will Smith (of Fresh Prince fame) singing 'Windows 7 Rising', a song about the operating system sung to the tune of CCR's 'Bad Moon Rising', at what I assume is a school-sponsored talent show. He's pretty skilled and undoubtedly left the stage that night with a number of 8th grader's hearts in his jacket pocket. Which sadly isn't many BECAUSE THEY DON'T MAKE THOSE SUIT POCKETS FUNCTIONAL. And you know why? Government conspiracy. Same reason you're not allowed to drink at the DMV EVEN THOUGH YOUR MOM DROVE YOU.

wtf

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRST

WHY DID I USE THOSE GODDAM IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'S????

@2 you suck

@2 YOU FAIL!!! But this kid is just a born geek. It makes me proud. :)

what a huge piece of shit

Why did I even click play... I think I'm gonna commit suicide now.

BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD FOR THE BLOOOOOOOOOD GOD.

cuuuuuuute!

First schools were indoctrinating children on behalf of Obama, now microsoft is indoctrinating children for Windows 7.... What ever happened to you America, you used to be cool!

Weally? does Windows 7 weally wurle? wtf is it with this god damn speech impediment and people thinking its cute!?!? It's not, neither is his retarded song. The whole post is shit and brings down the overall class of the blog.

seriously though if I was there I would have thrown a BWICK (doesnt sound cute there does it) at the little irritating fuck, and then beat his dad for writing such a pathetic set of lyrics.

uhh... you *do* know that you have to cut those pockets open for them to be fully functional, right?

Patethic attempt to have a viral video hit, the irony is that the intention really fit Windows campaign of been down with the internet people. Fail.

BTW, good suits come with sealed pockets, you have to cut them off to make them funcional. Once a nerd always a nerd.

They should take him to the zoo. Retards like the zoo.

That was freakin terribad...

Also I have Windows 7. It's for noobs...
I hate it. Linux all the way baby !!!

@12 I was starting to think i was the only person that knew that.

You're mean

WHATS WITH THE KIDS? Microsoft uses that illegal chinese immigrant girl in theyre windows 7 commercials. I guess they gotta use kids because they're too young to have actually used any of windows garbage OS's. Plus they work for pudding.

p.s. nice glasses, 4 EYES! also you suck at singing.

Are you seriously this gullible? This is obviously bullshit viral marketing from Microsoft. If you took a second to investigate you'd see that they first uploaded another video to this youtube channel to make it seem legit but that video is even more fake! Come on Geekologie writer, you're slipping.

This kid is going to get his butt kicked

As much as I love you GW... I can't believe you failed this hard with a post. I guess you can't bat 1000 all the time.

More proof that this video is fake: they just disabled comments and ratings after I got into a frank "discussion" with another fake channel posing as a defender. He claimed to know more than what was listed in the videos description, which is nothing by the way. It's blank.

Why does Microsoft stoop to these pathetic levels? It's shit like this that's the reason no one would ever create a video like this legitimately. They always manage to come across as desperate with a touch of evil.

He looks like Bill Gates

Haha that's funny. In the other video they posted of the talent show, the music changes every 15 seconds or so. I'm guessing so they didn't have to get the rights.

Who the hell is that woman at the beginning of the clip who cuts the kid off with "whatever!"? She sounds mean.

i don't see why people think this is terrible, it was a clever song, and i windows > Mac & Linux so suck it, god damn you people are rude

FU CK YA! WOOOH! and in other news my ears are now bleeding. any anybody else thinking that windows 7 is sucking just as much as vista did? Oh well at least it plays wow just fine

Cool! This kid is actually JUST LIKE WINDOWS! He sounds awful, though he's trying. But he's failing to keep up with actual professional artists.

Just like with windows, who knows; maybe one day it might actually be something worth listening to (using)

+1 for the indoctrination of microsoft! Go microsoft! You're just like the taliban; teach them while they're still young that your way is THE WAY. Then, when they grow older, they might actually think that it's a good product.

@ 10

Hey, hey. It's okay. I'm still cool! You just paying attention to my retarded younger brother the Media. He's always making me look bad...

He looks like a baby Bill Gates. Something is going on here, and I think the Hadron Collider is involved.

actually you just cut the seams and the jacket pocket is functional.

It may be viral, but it's still cute.

OMG GET YER TIN FOIL HATS ON, MICROSOFT IS OUT TO STEAL OUR BRAINZ!

Seriously though, if it is a viral, who the fuck cares? I'll take that over the commercials where a douchebag insults another company's products instead of highlighting their own.

Video sucks though lol. If it's a viral I don't see how it would spread very far... "OMG you gotta see this! Some little geek boy is singing a song he made about Windows 7!" Pass.

@25: you a towel-head? Go screw yourself if you are.

All of you "windows haters" are a bunch of fucking retards. Windows owns most of the market share, and about what, 90% of software out there is windows only, Yes, Windows has it's faults, but I've seen more then one little stupid error sad face on a mac, and my fair share of being stuck at a terminal with no X11 with nix, get over yourself, and to the douchebag who said "But he's failing to keep up with actual professional artists." You're a tool, in these times, all the fucking operating systems are on the same level, yes quite a few years back, Mac was better for Image and Video editing, now it's the same fucking thing. Go ahead and spend 3-5x what the hardware is worth for a "pretty" OS that doesn't run most software, and there's a good chance you'll end up running bootcamp to load windows so that you can use windows apps, shut the fuck up. Windows does have it's issues, and I will say I still favor Debian to any OS out there, but 7, at least at launch is leaps and bounds ahead of the Vista launch, and while there are some that'll stick to XP, the lifecycle is over and MS won't support that OS for long, so either A) Go empty your bank account so you can inflate your ego and become a dick and think you're better then everybody else because you have a mac, even though the only things you can run, are pretty much the shit Apple gives you, B) Switch to linus, enjoy your repos and freeware software, but deal with sometimes iffy driver installs, and still a lack of software, C) Stick to XP and eventually be one of those annoying jackasses who wants support on 10 year old software because you're too fucking stubborn to get with the times, or D) Install 7, get used to it because that's the way things are. Mac users, don't even bother to reply until you can buy a Mac for about 300 dollars. (Won't fucking happen)

Last!
