In this video, Microsoft is apparently attempting for some kitschy buzz by having a group of Pennsylvania middle school children sing and dance to the newly chosen jingle for its Bing search engine. The jingle was created by Jonathan Mann and was the winner of a Microsoft contest to find a catchy jingle for their new search engine product. Mann won $500 for his efforts, of which TechCrunch has pronounced "the worst jingle ever."http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/30/microsoft-tortures-littles-kids-with-bing-jingle/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/05/bing-has-succeeded-in-finding-the-worst-jingle-ever/

Video | Microsoft Tortures Little Kids with Bing Jingle

Is Microsoft indoctrinating our kids? They seem to be having a good time, but some might find it a little creepy having middle-schoolers dance and sing about the joys of using Bing, Microsoft's newly-branded search engine. TechCrunch insists that Microsoft tortures kids with Bing jingle. The original video for "Bing Goes The Internet," by Jonathan Mann, is available here.

Aghh! I think it's stuck in my head. So, is this catchy or creepy? Or, somewhere in between?
