"Let there be rock and roll on the dashboard radio;
let there be occasionally hands bongoing on the dashboard. Let that white line in the middle of far west two-lane highways come feeding into the screen . . ." --Jack Kerouac

i'm a new soul
Thanks to apple and their ingenious marketing team, I'm having a really difficult time getting this song out of my head.
I immediately recognized the instrument in the background as a trombone after spending 8 years in band at school and 18 years with a mother who played one constantly. MOM
completely ingenious! they (meaning just steve) couldn't have picked a more adorable person for their campaign...the french/israeli accent is too cute. loved it.

Well, there's always this:

And yes, I think it is a bassoon.
Fun little note: I read that Steve Jobs himself chose this song for the commercial. Apparently, they don't even need a marketing team -- just steve.
