Long Story Short (I Made Steve Jobs Dance) | Song A Day #3919
50Made Steve dance
Turtleneck and jeans
wiggle and shimmy
I sang up on the screen
M ade Steve dance
Like he never did
Long story short
I’ll tell you about it
I was coming home from a family vacation
Disappointed about my situation
Was hoping to win brand new car
In a contest for a Klondike Bar
But I lost,
Was nursing my wound
Surfing the world wide web as you do
When I saw that Steve was gonna address
The little thing known as the AnttennaGate mess
So seeing as though I write a song a day
I sat down and thought to myself hey
I’ll write about how antennagate is
Kinda no big deal, you know? Right.
So I wrote the song and made a video too
I posted it like I always do
And I sent to MG siegler
The tech crunch blogger i’s in league with
The next morning I woke to an email (an email)
Subject like your video (your video)
From pr@apple.com
I was pretty sure I was being punked
I got in the shower thinking about spoofing
And that’s when my phone began to ring
Unknown caller well that’s strange
Who is it? This is Steve Dowling
Steve Jobs liked your video (my video)
He wants to use today (today)
To open the press conference (the what now)
Can we use it?
I was standing there naked as the day I was born
Conversing with a PR guy for
One of the biggest multinational corporations
That ever did roam the earth
But a few hours later Steve shimmied on stage
Said thanks everybody for joining us today
We found this video on YouTube
We couldn’t help but want to share it
And that woulda been that I guess
Until I got another telephone call
From the PR guy at apple
And he wanted me to know
I was watching Steve on the side of the stage
The entire time your song was playing
And he was legit dancing boogieing down
Your song turned the whole day around
My new album I USED TO LOVE MY BODY is out NOW and available for download or streaming:

Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 10+ years.
Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
