Video: This iOS8 QuickText pop song makes no sense at all, but it’s pretty good…

It's gibberish, but it's catchy gibberish.

Tony Cuddihy

It’s gibberish, but it’s catchy gibberish.

We’ve never used iOS 8’s QuickText function because WE DON’T LIKE CHANGE (sorry, lost it a bit there) but Jonathan Mann is different.

Having uploaded a new, original song to YouTube every days since January 2009, he has used the feature on his iPhone to craft an entire four-minute pop song that could easily be mistaken for Weezer, Wheat or any other FM radio friendly American rock band from the 1990s or 2000s beginning with the letter ‘W’.

Which is to say it’s quite catchy, even if the absence of any punctuation whatsoever begins to make JOE’s head hurt at around the two minute mark.
