			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the words of John Cougar Mellencamp, both the commerical for <a class="zem_slink" title="Microsoft" rel="homepage" href="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft</a> Songsmith and the number of parody tunes that have been released &#8220;hurt so good.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Songsmith commercial caused a ripple of laughter when the painful commercial made its rounds on the internet. Viewers lamented on the lack of acting as well as the blatent use of an <a class="zem_slink" title="Apple" rel="homepage" href="http://www.apple.com">Apple</a> laptop throughout the entire promotion. You can vew the entire promotion <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTXG2uKNLIw">here</a>.</p>
<p>Recently, several Songsmith parodies of popular songs have been released using the Songsmith application.Both <a class="zem_slink" title="TechCrunch" rel="homepage" href="http://www.techcrunch.com">TechCrunch</a> and This Week in Tech (<a class="zem_slink" title="This Week in Tech" rel="homepage" href="http://www.twit.tv/twit">TWiT</a>) covered these interesting adaptions that almost appear to come from a bizarro world.</p>
<p>Here is &#8220;Roxanne&#8221; by The Police via Songsmith.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/ypycpKQxXR0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ypycpKQxXR0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
