I worked on a movie project at work that required a parody of the current Mac ad campaign: “Get a Mac” (a.k.a. “Mac Vs. PC” or “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC.”) I couldn’t find it on the interweb, so I cracked open Garage Band and tried my luck.

I believe the song is “Having Trouble Sneezing” by Mark Mothersbaugh. The instruments aren’t exactly correct (I had to create my own marimba and “dainty” piano), but the melody and the shaker are spot on.

In college, my sketch comedy group, the Farce Side Comedy Hour, spoofed the original white-background ad campaign for Mac: “Switch”. Although not authored in Garage Band, this one is pretty close the original:
