I'll admit that I'm a bit bored so I was wondering what song you all would go with if you could pick a theme song for Apple. I have a feeling what the first suggestion will be so I'll take it: Simply The Best.

Note: I am not a Tina Turner fan but the song seems so appropriate.

everything about you pains my envying
your soul can't hate anything
everything about you is so easy to love
they're watching you from above

give me all the peace and joy in your mind
i want the peace and joy in your mind
give me the peace and joy in your mind

everything about you resonates happiness
now i won't settle for less

give me all the peace and joy in your mind
i want the peace and joy in your mind
give me the peace and joy in your mind



actually, so is lush's sweetness and light

see my life (i've been so tired)
see my self (i've been uptight)
see my life (i've been so tired)
see my sight (i could disappear)

see with you memories fading fast
and with you it's never going to last

you are the sweetness in my eyes
you are an apple in disguise

see with you
i never seemed to look the other way

only to stay, only to breathe
only to see
that space and light is what i really need

i never wanted to tell lies
you are the sweetness in my eyes

you are the juice i need for life
you are the sweetness in my eyes

Do You Realize? | The Flaming Lips

That's probably just for me personally, since that is the first song that I ever listened to on an iPod. But I still think it works quite well.

When I first got my Powerbook, Royksopp's Eple (Norwegian for Apple) started playing as I set up the user accounts, and I thought it was perfect.

Follow Your Dream *** Emmanuel Carella
Lucky (In My Life) *** Eiffel 65
Shine *** Shannon Noll

I think those 3 songs would go great in any Apple advertise campaign.

And as a joke, I thought MS should use the song "Virus Alert *** Weird Al Yankovic. Sure that wouldn't give them the most sales, but it's so true if you compare it to MS.

Tragically Hip "In View"

In View Lyrics

Artist Tragically Hip Lyrics
Song Title In View

I love you. You know I do
Yea, it’s perfect…well, it isn’t and it is

And I’ve been meaning to call you
I’ve been meaning to call you
Then I do
I’ve been meaning to call you
I’ve been meaning to call you
Then I do

Phone rings once
Phone rings twice
Phone rings three times

I am of you
You are in everything I do
I do

I trust you, that makes you true
I don’t care if it isn’t the way it is

I’ve been meaning to call you
I’ve been meaning to call you
Then I do

Phone rings once
Phone rings twice
Phone rings three times

I am of you
You are always in view
Yea, I am my will
But you are in everything I do
I do. I do. I do

In the Day Eraser’s dark of night
In the Excited States, gone in plain sight
Under the wave or by cavelight
I lose, things change, but never in your eyes

I am of you
You are always in view
I am my will
You are in everything I do

I chose mine simply because of the name...

That's where the happy people go - The Trammps

It would have to be a Beatles song...

The immediate two that would get mentioned here would be, Imagine and Revolution.
