10 years of Apple’s iPod ads reveal: path of the technician to Sassy

Propellerheads – take California: One that started it all, this is one of the few instrumental Apple has been used in an iPod commercial. It is rocking, but a less certain and charm that sass has come to define the iPod ads. The commercial itself, showing a dude who goofily danced his apartment, is far from an advertising icon will follow. This is kind of like finding a video of Barry Bonds played Little League baseball: a spark there, but we have a long way to go.
