Kickback this weekend with some nostalgic Zune tunes

Retrieve Microsoft'southward Zune line of multimedia players? I haven't forgotten, and to this twenty-four hours, the Zune 120 GB Black "Brick" remains as one of my favorite pieces of hardware from the by. To help everyone relax, while bringing dorsum some Microsoft nostalgia, below is a curt video list of some of the rocking (and mellow) tunes used in the original commercials.

The playlist includes the post-obit equally of now:

Wanna Be a Star by Walter Meego

With Microsoft's launch of the third generation Zune, they wanted to show off what it could exercise with some punchy pop music. The commercial makes sure to prove off the Zune's FM radio, wireless PC syncing, music sharing with friends, and of course that gorgeous brandish on the 30/80/120 GB units.

This is Why I'm Hot (Rock Mix) by MiMs

One of Microsoft'due south start Zune commercials kicks it off with some stone and isn't agape to evidence why it "rocks". Wireless music sharing, the FM radio, and gigantic display are front row in this ad.

Universal Listen Command by Common

Recollect the Zune social? This commercial from the Redmond team aims to show the Social's discover ability. This ad isn't really about the Zune device itself, but the 3.0 release of the Zune desktop software.

Trash past The Whip

Flashy and sexy – it all screams Zune HD. This quick sixteen second (and super widescreen) advertisement using some fast past music to get your adrenalin pumping.

Lake Michigan past Rogue Wave

Here is a mellower Zune commercial; a girl touches her device and enters, what I like to phone call, a "wicked acid trip". This is one of a few Zune commercials that actually went far beyond what we expected to run into from an MP3 histrion commercial. Specifically it focuses on the smaller 4/viii/sixteen GB Zunes.

Sleeping Lessons by The Shins

This is another trippy Zune music commercial that takes a jump within one guy's mind and the creativity that comes with music. I observe the song that accompanies this ad to be extremely disturbing, but hey, that is merely me. Ane commenter on YouTube, says he has begun "sleeping to this vocal".
