It’s been a long time now since Jeff Goldblum was the face and voice of Apple, but YouTube user notatypewriter provides a remixed blast from the past that reminds why the past is the past.

You be the judge! Is the video slowed down or are they just plain drunk?!?!
Ah, nostalgia.
I remember one of the first iPod commercials with him rockin out to music on a Mac then syncing an iPod and rocking out as he walked away.
Those were the days.
