SwitchToMac.com has released a video called "I'm On A Mac" that spoofs parody video "I'm On A Boat," which was recorded by Andy Samberg and T-Pain for Saturday Night Live. The Mac fan-produced spoof comes complete with T-Pain-like Autotuned vocals from "PC-Pain" (as well as the same sort of profanity for those with sensitive ears).
In addition to the normal pro-Mac bragging one might expect, the song also includes a mention of emulation software Parallels ("Friend are jealous, 'cuz Parallels can run their [mostly bleeped]"), a clever commercial for the company, who is listed as a sponsor on SwitchToMac.com.
And without further ado, the video itself:

Way better than Justin Long and John Hodgman. Way better.
For you, perhaps. However, as I dislike rap and don’t appreciate gratuitous profanity, this is not “way better” for me.
As one of my hip-hop culture buddies said when I introduced him to “I’m On a Boat”, “I think they’re making fun of me, but it’s really catchy!”. Exactly.
My favorite line is “f*k right-click, multitouch m*f*”. word.
And in general, I don’t like most rap, but this was worth watching. It seems a lot of people are: it’s in the top-10 most watched videos on YouTube today.
