Jonathan Mann “iPhone Antenna Song” Dude Never Sings Animal Torture (Video)
Written by Vegetarian Star on July 20th, 2010 in Authors, Male Singers, Tech, Videos.
Jonathan Mann ‘s video was chosen by Steve Jobs for the tune, “The iPhone Antenna Song,” to be played at a conference where Jobs addressed the problem of the iphone 4 dropping calls.
The 28-year old vegan routinely writes songs for people and events and his prices can range from $100-$500 or more.
Mann has an interview with Time Magazine on his career.
Are there any topics you would never consider writing a song about?
I wouldn’t write something that was overtly, blatantly, mean… I’m a vegan, so I also wouldn’t write a song about meat or meat consumption.
Who’s the most famous person who has contacted you after hearing a song? What did they say to you?
I performed one of my songs live on the Rachel Maddow Show. She didn’t contact me personally, but I got to meet her and perform on her show because of a song on Paul Krugman. And Steve Jobs didn’t contact me—it was a PR guy who contacted me for the use of the iPhone 4 song. But, in terms of someone famous being aware of me in a cursory way, I’d say Steve Jobs.
What is the weirdest topic request you’ve ever gotten? Is there a topic that’s ever grossed you out, or scared, or you thought was really funny?
It takes a lot to sort of gross me out or to scare me. One of my favorite songs came from a request, which was “write a song about penguins having a party.” The song is called “Penguins Having a Party.”
