Name/Location of the "Mac vs PC" jingle?

October 30, 2009 4:16 PM

From the "hard to google" category: What's the name of/ where can I obtain a copy of the jingle that plays in the background of the Apple "Mac vs PC" ads? (oddly enough, it's for my halloween costume...)

Any reasonable facsimile would probably be fine.

Here's one that a guy made that's pretty close. To assist your googling, the ads are in a series called "Get a Mac."

It's a song called "Having Trouble Sneezing" by Mark Mothersbaugh (formerly of Devo). The nether (i.e. torrenty) regions of the internets can probably turn up a copy for you.

Reasonable facsimile, eh? Here's one.

Oh, and the campaign is NOT called "Get A Mac." As the OP correctly notes in the title, the campaign is called "Mac vs. PC".

Wait, what? Did I miss something? Oh, wow, apparently I did. On the other hand, yikes.
