This song is actually a pretty good roundup of the WWDC keynote (Video)

Jonathan Mann has been running his “Song a Day” YouTube channel for quite some time now, and without fail, you can navigate to his channel on the day of an Apple event and find yet another song-ified version of Apple’s announcements. He’s a self-proclaimed Apple fanboy, and he was the guy that wrote the song played during the opening to the Antennagate press conference.

Unsurprisingly, he’s back again with a music video going over Apple’s announcements from WWDC 2015. Covering the additions in Mac OS X El Capitan, the latest coming to iOS 9, and Eddy Cue dancing on stage, his song pretty much covers it all. And there’s a bit of humor packed in as well, mentioning Swift going open source and comparing it to Steve Job’s infamous announcement that FaceTime would be as well.

Check it out:

Here are the full lyrics:

Craig Federighi asked Trent Reznor
To help him find his pain and rage
But Craig Federighi didn’t have any
He had a totally dope presentation on stage

A cursor that jumps out at you
Spotlight panel resize
How about that innovation
SplitView, Yurts and pinned sites

Not one but count them two
Women up on the stage
It’s a start and it’s about damn time
Cuz these white dad jokes are starting to fade

Lots of apps got sherlocked
I feel bad for them
Federighi meditates
When he wakes up at 5am
Swift 2 is open source
And I hope they don’t waste time
Cuz long ago didn’t they say
The same thing about FaceTime?

I’m not really psyched
About anything Apple Music does
If Drake had a point that he was making
I’m not sure I really know what it was
Eddie Cue was dancing
Jimmy Iovine was yelling
But I don’t think the audience
Was buying what they were selling

Susan Prescott reads ESPN
For the articles
More of her, please
And less One More Things
You can just be willy nilly with those

iPad
multitasking
Low power mode and games
Transit looks cool
El Capitan is a werid name
Wallet and news and siri knows
When you get in your car
Apple cares about your privacy
So Bust a move and get bizarre

El Capitan, El Capitan
Metal and Poutine
Cool stuff on watchOS
And I don’t wanna be mean
But it went on a little too long
We all got burned out
If Steve were here
He never ever ever would have allowed
Just kidding there were keynotes he did that weren’t perfect either

    I think that this was a perfect song. For the keynote… blame the cable and TVs.
    Just if Apple would be able to introduce Apple Television Channels (or whatever) the whole ‘One more thing’ would be perfect… music and television.
    And add a new Apple TV hardware and remote, including a TVKit and developers’ stuff to include apps…

    …the perfect keynote.

    The guy’s voice makes my skin crawl and his take on stuff is, well, “dumb young white boy chic.”

    Wow. Pure perfection. I love it!
