Microsoft forced to apologize for “inappropriate” sing-and-dance routine

Sometimes, the funniest things come to be when they're carried out in a dead serious manner or when no one's thinking about how ridiculously they might turn out. Microsoft knows how that feels now.

At the Norwegian Developers Conference (NDC), which took place on June 6-8 in Oslo, the software giant was faced with a genuine PR disaster when some PR team staged a sing-and-dance routine meant to celebrate the newly launched Windows Azure cloud computing platform.

It's called the “Developers' Song” and you can see it in the video above.

Aside from a (bit silly but inspired) pun on “Microsoft,” the routine also included other instances of inappropriate language, such as “We are here to party and coding is our drug!” Tisk tisk.

Microsoft has already apologized for the whole thing but, say what you will, the words to that song are pure poetry: “I'm a software developer/ I'm developing/ and I'm here 2 party.”

This is just too silly to be hatin' on whoever wrote it.
