Engadget's relaunch giveaways: the final Zune

We're giving away one Zune per week for five weeks; snagging one will get progressively more difficult, and since this is our last Zune giveaway contest, you're gonna have to work for it a bit. This one's going to the person (or group) that writes the best Engadget theme song. We're looking for the catchiest tune or jingle about Engadget, with words or without -- but it should be fun (or funny), decently well produced, and capture the spirit of Engadget. (Note: we may use your tune on the Podcast or at our events -- with credit, of course!) When you're all done send it in to zunecontest at engadget dawt com (please, no entries over 10MB or they'll bounce.) Have your entries in by 11:59PM EST Sunday, the 29th to be eligible. Engadget's editors will select the track that takes home the prize. As always, please mind the rules!
- You may enter other Engadget contests, however...
- You may only enter this contest once; if you enter more than once on this particular contest post you'll be automatically disqualified and barred from all future giveaways. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.) You may enter future Engadget relaunch giveaway contests though!
- You can only win once. (If you win and then try to go for a second prize during our relaunch giveaways, you'll be automatically disqualified, etc.)
- This contest is open to the US only -- sorry, Microsoft's rules!
- You will be shipped your Zune when Microsoft ships you your Zune (and no sooner), so sit tight, it might be some weeks before it comes!

just wondering, do people who leaves comments here know they're suppose to make a theme song to enter the contest or are they just posting they want one?
by the way what rhymes with engadget other than gadget?
Timmah!!! @ Oct 17th 2006 1:11PM

Definitions of Paget: (pronounced Padget)
noun: English pathologist who discovered the cause of trichinosis (1814-1899)

I think I'll take a look at some of those Engadget Commercials, and find a theme to fit one, perhaps. Giving them credit, of course! But seeing as they already won something, maybe I'll get to keep the prize. =P Or maybe i'll just write a silly little poem...hmm...
"You can search far and wide
You can drain your bandwidth dry!
But you'll never find a blog so fine,
no you'll never find a blog so fine
'cause Engadget's the...(*thinks*) finest swine(!?)
You can browse those fancy sites
or listen to the fanboys
but the only blog
thats worth to log
comes from the Engadgets!"
Yeah, totally ripped off that jingle from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. It's the best I can think of while in my Econ class, though. And I couldn't think of anything to rhyme with fine other than swine. =
MarcCCCCC @ Oct 17th 2006 1:40PM

Zune, Thank you
David @ Oct 17th 2006 1:44PM
Changed the theme song for "Gidget" TV Show:
If you're in doubt about angels being real.
I can arrange to change any doubts you feel.
Wait'll you see Engadget!
You'll want it for your Valentine.
You're gonna say it's all that you adore
But stay away, that gadget is spoken for
You're gonna find that gadget is mine!
Chris @ Oct 17th 2006 1:46PM
lol how the hell can we rhyme engadget... lol like christian said only gadget kinda rhymes
netposer @ Oct 17th 2006 1:47PM
One plz. Thank You.
Josh @ Oct 17th 2006 1:48PM
*me points and laughs at everyone who is stupidly commenting on this story hoping to win a Zune by their comment*
Seriously, RTFA. You have to write a song and email it to Engadget.. not post in the comments.
john bluemke @ Oct 17th 2006 1:50PM

Stag 007 @ Oct 17th 2006 1:57PM
