To Celebrate Woz’s Birthday, Wife Commissions Special Song [Video]

To celebrate Woz’s 60th birthday today, his wife Janet commissioned this song as a gift.

“That’s Woz,” is sung by Jonathan Mann, an up-and-coming YouTube singing star whose song about the iPhone 4 antenna was played by Steve Jobs at a press conference. Mann followed this up with a song about Jobs. A song once wrote a tune about Paul Krugman that went wildly viral and landed him on the Rachel Maddow Show.

Mann’s song about Woz is a tribute to the Apple co-founders pure geek values. “Do it for fun,” he sings during the chorus. “Don’t do it for the money. That’s just Woz.”

Mann is singing a song a day and posting them to his YouTube channel and his Song A Day website.

    That guy is the defenition of being a douchebag. The apple-commisioned ‘song’ regarding the antenna made my stomach turn. Apple’s marketing really started losing it…

    I love Woz and have tremendous respect for everything he’s done but this song was just plain horrible.
