Hilarious:

Via Tech Liberation Front.

I feel for the people who had to sing this jingle in order to eke out a living, although not as much as I feel for the guys in that "Viva Viagra" ad.

A friend used to say of certain highly wound individuals that they had "whipcord hemorrhoids". I'm guessing that NixonPeabody has a line-item in their accounts for Preparation-H.

Youtube pops up a bunch of "related" material, but it's all videos of Richard Nixon and none of Mr Peabody.

This Nixon one is great, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM0zJl9Bxk8. Karl Rove with hair! (Bad, bad nerd hair.) It's also instructive in that it shows how the GOP were developing computer-driven direct-mail fundraising even in 1972.

Who knew that my bf noodling away on a music vid in the dining room this weekend would get so much coverage.

Maybe I should give him less grief about this sort of thing.

Are you and Catherine having a Horrible YouTube Videos contest today?

Another toe-tapping corporate anthem from a few years ago, for KPMG, the accounting firm.

(That was a different vid, Sweetie. This one was slapped together in an hour--and it shows. Worst looking one I've done, and that's the one that gets mentioned in the NYT. Sheesh.)

I may be wrong, but I sense that there were some Afro-Americans in the musical group.

The way law firms work is that young associates work themselves into the ground for years in hopes of making partner. If they don't make partner, they turn into pumpkins.

I suspect --but do not know -- that if you look at the percentage of Afro-American associates making Partner versus the percentage of Harvard Caucasians, you might conclude that "Everybody IS NOT a winner" at Nixon Peabody.

It would be kinda hilarious for Above the Law to investigate and --if my suspicions prove true -- to countersue them for false advertising and to make Nixon Peabody's white partners sing the firm's theme song in court as a way of making that point. Heh heh

Nixon Peabody is in Boston.
Does anyone know how to contact the writers at the TV Show "Boston Legal"??
