"The Pleo Song" takes our breath away

It's no secret: songs about gadgets are a scourge upon the earth. And that's why they're awesome. The latest of these little ditties that'll have you humming in the shower tomorrow morning -- and raving like a lunatic the day after -- is "The Pleo Song," courtesy of RobotsRule. The song was written to celebrate Ugobe's announcement of 30 day shipping notices for Pleo, which we suppose is as good an excuse as any to write a gratingly bad song about a robotic dinosaur. "Remember the heart of a child knows that love goes with Pleo." If you still think you can stomach it after that little teaser, the YouTube version is after the break.

Deeno? That alone made me want to chumba.

[Adam @ Nov 15th 2007 12:41PM]

[SubGenius @ Nov 15th 2007 3:53PM]

It's a robotic dinosaur not a talking unicorn, you fool!

PS- There's no such place as Candy Mountain.

[pathogen @ Nov 15th 2007 4:05PM]

Yeah but a liopleurodon told them the way to candy mountain.

I want one, to use as a shooting target.

[Matt Peckham @ Nov 15th 2007 1:03PM]

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

[injate @ Nov 15th 2007 1:09PM]

I guess you are suckers for horrible marketing songs.

[injate @ Nov 15th 2007 1:10PM]

how much money did you get for posting this?

[Luigi193 @ Nov 15th 2007 1:11PM]

I think my ears are bleeding...In a good way.

UGOBE corporate headquarters, 10/27/07

Assistant: Uhhh......Bob?

Bob Christopher, CEO: Yes, Ted?

T: We got the song back from that guy. You know, the one with a guitar you discovered in the Rite-Aid parking lot? Well, there are a couple of problems.

B.C.: What problems? We're flying our whole viral ad campaign on that thing!!!!!!

T: Well, first, he calls Pleo a "deeeeeno", not a dino. I thought you went over it with him a bunch of times.

B.C. I thought I was clear to him about that. He did look kinda hammered, though.

T: Welllllll, another thing is that he goes in and out of a bad British accent. I mean, he actually sang 'GULL' for girl, man!

B.C. You mean like John Lennon in The Beatles' "Girl"?

T: Yep.

B.C. Shit..................hey, do you think James Blunt would do it for $50.00?

Madonna's latest ballad.

[Newsdiver @ Nov 15th 2007 1:54PM]

I don't hum in the shower ... unless I'm sharing the water :)

[Skemo @ Nov 15th 2007 2:02PM]

I think I threw up a bit in my mouth there.

[StrangeBum @ Nov 15th 2007 2:04PM]

Why did this make me think of some sort of a cartoon I would catch for small children on PBS or something.

Uggh.....shivers down my spine, this totally made the Pleo look less appealing. Sure I may be a bit old for one anyways, but I would have liked to have one just because, but this song...it just.....ugggh...makes me sick.

[Gene @ Nov 15th 2007 2:06PM]

I think the only thing that could've made that better (worse?) would have had the end of the song go into some heavy metal rifts and singing ala Trogdor. That would've been hilarious.
PLEEEOOOOOOO!!!!!!
PLEEEOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Pleo was a man! No... he was a...
Ok... I'm stopping here...

Yikes!

[Chris @ Nov 15th 2007 3:34PM]

Well that just made me not want to get one

[Robo-Dave @ Nov 15th 2007 4:26PM]

Does "take your breath away" mean it will come and smother you in your sleep late some night?
"..huh? Pleo? how did you get in my -"
"gak...choke...gasp...nooooooo....."

[kojo87 @ Nov 15th 2007 5:22PM]

how does it compare to the Portal credit song?

[Usagi Hoshino @ Nov 15th 2007 11:01PM]

I bet Pleo wishes never to return from extinction again... and who told that guy he could write songs (or sing them..)

[Goatee Man @ Nov 16th 2007 12:14AM]

I just died a little on the inside.

[metathuselah @ Nov 21st 2007 12:42PM]

Hell, I'm not worried about the bots. I'm more afraid of the marketers!

[Jai @ Nov 28th 2007 3:21PM]

Hi there, here is a bunch of Pleo photos that were taken during Ad:Tech NY a week or so ago. I just though everyone would like to see Pleo in a “real” environment or at least being held by random people.

Also the guy who wrote the song also has Pleo photos can you guess who he is?)

[Bigredhammer @ Dec 5th 2007 3:44AM]

There is a Candy Mountain! It's here in Utah. And we just received our first PLEO at Sharper Image. Interesting little guy.
