Now here's a song that could literally destroy your mind.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Friday, 7 October 2005 20:11 (twenty years ago)

Is it "The Final Countdown"?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 7 October 2005 20:17 (twenty years ago)

That would be better than this.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Friday, 7 October 2005 20:25 (twenty years ago)

Okay, there are so many people who need to be killed over this.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 7 October 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

I had heard about this but I hadn't heard it. Oh my God.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 7 October 2005 20:32 (twenty years ago)

Wow, it's only 3:43 but it listens like a 12-minute mix.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Friday, 7 October 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)

Is one of the voices modulated to sound "black"?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 7 October 2005 20:42 (twenty years ago)

I think I'm actually boggling.

― adam (adam), Friday, 7 October 2005 20:46 (twenty years ago)

wow, this came out _this year_?

― milton parker (Jon L), Friday, 7 October 2005 21:23 (twenty years ago)

is that actually c+c music factory? i mean, they had to be up to SOMETHING these days, right?

holy SHIT do i want to hear what Norton is serving up.

― tremspeed, Friday, 7 October 2005 23:42 (twenty years ago)

There's no info on when this was "released."

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 7 October 2005 23:55 (twenty years ago)

Norton Antivirus has detected the Trojan.shitmuzick worm
in file "Symantec_Revolution.mp3"

Repair? Quarantine? Delete?

― M. V. (M.V.), Friday, 7 October 2005 23:58 (twenty years ago)

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Friday, 7 October 2005 23:59 (twenty years ago)

"We're the leader in internet security. / People trust our work implicitly."

That is so incredible that I don't know what to say.

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Saturday, 8 October 2005 00:02 (twenty years ago)

Wow, it's only 3:43 but it listens like a 12-minute mix.

hahahaha

It's based on Good Vibrations from Marky Mark, so give it a break. It's probably intentionally this wack to generate this type of discussion.

― LeCoq (LeCoq), Saturday, 8 October 2005 03:47 (twenty years ago)

I feel that when I become enlightened this is the only sort of music in which I will still have interest

― Banana Nutrament (ghostface), Saturday, 8 October 2005 10:55 (twenty years ago)

OH GOD.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Saturday, 8 October 2005 12:14 (twenty years ago)

It's probably intentionally this wack to generate this type of discussion.

They want people discussing how people's heads should be removed over this?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 8 October 2005 12:17 (twenty years ago)

That said, since Nokia and Chevron think they are tough, who are we to disagree?

This song was created entirely on donut's Rapinator toy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 8 October 2005 12:18 (twenty years ago)

They should have got 2 unlimited to do this.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Saturday, 8 October 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

C'mon, c'mon!

― O'so Krispie (Ex Leon), Saturday, 8 October 2005 12:54 (twenty years ago)

Good Lord, I can just see ~~myself~~ some poor underpaid hack sitting there with a downloaded MIDI file, changing the chords & bassline in Logic just enough that Symantec can't get sued. For sheer whoredom, this is right up there with the time I had to rewrite "The Power" for a kid's diabetes awareness campaign.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 8 October 2005 13:19 (twenty years ago)

a lone gunman

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 8 October 2005 13:21 (twenty years ago)

See! See!

When is this from, exactly? It's actually funnier than that "we built this city" one that got posted a while back.

There should be a thread purely for excruciating corporate anthems mp3s

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Saturday, 8 October 2005 13:51 (twenty years ago)

Here are more than you should probably ingest in one sitting:

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 8 October 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

The best bit, apart frm that bizarre "c'mon, c'mon!! see!! SEE!! bit is:

"We....got yer personal firewalls/
security...is where we stand tall/
our brands are known for qual-i-tee/
and guaranteed to help you succeed/
YO YO!!"

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Saturday, 8 October 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

c'mon, c'mon!! see!! SEE!!

if it really is c&c music factory (as someone suggested), it's likely they're saying "c, c."

― glasgow coma score (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 8 October 2005 14:09 (twenty years ago)

It's definitely not C & C Music Factory. I'm guessing it's the one guy at Symantec who can kinda rap, plus a female session singer.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 8 October 2005 14:14 (twenty years ago)

I'm crying here. Later I'm going to take a walk through the pissing rain and lay a flower on music's grave.

― Don King of the Mountain (noodle vague), Saturday, 8 October 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

"Shelf-space means the world to us/
Cos our brands are causing quite a fuss"

Okay I'm happy again now.

― Don King of the Mountain (noodle vague), Saturday, 8 October 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

can we have a night of just this music please! thanx

― ambrose (ambrose), Saturday, 8 October 2005 15:46 (twenty years ago)

Ambrose, see my link upthread.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 8 October 2005 15:54 (twenty years ago)

That's no Loleatta Holloway on the chorus.

― Confounded (Confounded), Saturday, 8 October 2005 16:00 (twenty years ago)

I'm surprisingly impressed by this!! Yeah, it's "Good Vibrations" with a slight Technotronic flava warped to be legally correct.

I've heard far far worse, more relatively offensive take on club/house/R&B, via corporate cheerleader anthems from other IT companies in th e past.

Come on guys. Do you express any IT corporation to do a crunk anthem instead? Oh that's right, Steve Ballmer already did by proxy.

― donut hallivallerieburtonelli omg lol (donut), Saturday, 8 October 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

"Do you expect", etc.

― donut hallivallerieburtonelli omg lol (donut), Saturday, 8 October 2005 17:34 (twenty years ago)

SIMONR WAS RITE!! MODERN DANCE MUSIC GOT TOO STUFFY AND NO LONGER APPLIES TO PUNTERS LIKE IT CORP MARKETING BLOKES!! ITS ALL ABOUT EARLY 90S STILL!! ENERGY FLASH 4 EVAAAAAAAAA!!

― donut hallivallerieburtonelli omg lol (donut), Saturday, 8 October 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

For sheer whoredom, this is right up there with ~~the time I had to rewrite "The Power" for a kid's diabetes awareness campaign~~ the Crazy Frog remake I was hired to do about 2 months ago.

FIXT.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 8 October 2005 18:04 (twenty years ago)

the time I had to rewrite "The Power" for a kid's diabetes awareness campaign

― amon (eman), Saturday, 8 October 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

It ended up not getting used - I'll check our archives.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 8 October 2005 18:44 (twenty years ago)

Dude, it's Tool and the Mars Volta now. Get with the times.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 8 October 2005 22:49 (twenty years ago)

Symantec is such a HOT tempatation.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Sunday, 9 October 2005 03:17 (twenty years ago)

Ned, do you mean to tell me my Ninja Scroll tee is no longer acceptable? Damnit!

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Sunday, 9 October 2005 03:26 (twenty years ago)

That's hilarious and horrible, but it's not as utterly soul-destroying as KPMG - Our Vision Of Global Strategy

― Philip Alderman (Phil A), Sunday, 9 October 2005 09:50 (twenty years ago)

sounds like Air Supply

― amon (eman), Sunday, 9 October 2005 13:45 (twenty years ago)

Our Vision Of Global Strategy would actually be a kickass album title.

First Impressions Of Global Strategy

― glasgow coma score (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 9 October 2005 14:14 (twenty years ago)

seven months pass...

― jergins (jergins), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 06:35 (nineteen years ago)

but it is sort of incredible. someone was paid for this.

― jergins (jergins), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 06:48 (nineteen years ago)

Come on! Come on!
See! See!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 9 November 2006 18:01 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah, that's how you do a corporate anthem.

― Whoof Vague-o-Rama (noodle vague), Thursday, 9 November 2006 18:08 (nineteen years ago)

"Symantec Revolution" really was one of the best singles of 2005. You people are ugly and have no taste.

"Symantec's hot I'm tellin you.
Do we know e-commerce? You bet we do!"

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Friday, 10 November 2006 01:11 (nineteen years ago)

Hmmm, link's not working for me.
