So I was in the Best Buy the other day, ticking off a few presents on my Christmas list and sweating the new purple iPod nano with video capabilities when I heard a devastating mix of Marvin Gaye's "Heard It Through the Grapevine" over the hot beat from The Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc." Every bone in my body wanted to rail against it; who would dare mess with the integrity of Marvin's "Grapevine?" But it sounded so darn gooood with all the mixing and scratching. And I couldn't help but to move it just a little.
Okay, a lot.
After a quick investigation through the aisles, I stumbled across a Best Buy guy working it out on the DJ Hero 1s and 2s, the new Activision game that's all the rage for Christmas this year. Think Guitar Hero, but way cooler, especially if you appreciate the poetry dee-jays create when they're working the wheels of steel. For sure, I gave it a whirl, but sadly, Spinderella I am not. I think with a little practice, though, I could be kinda dope with it—or at least look good trying.
And so can you if you win this super duper giveaway! The company that makes one of my favorite crisp, non-caffeinated soft drinks is teaming up with MyBrownBaby to give away one copy of Xbox DJ Hero Bundle, including the game and turntable. That's right: Get your Eric B./Jam-Master Jay/Kid Capri/Funkmaster Flex on, courtesy of MyBrownBaby and Sprite!
How do you win? Really simple:
Mandatory:
1. FOLLOW OR SUBSCRIBE via email to MyBrownBaby, and leave a comment saying you are.
2. In comments, shout out your favorite club song ever—the one that makes you kick off your shoes and dance like a lunatic every time.
Optional:
3. TWEET "I'm trying to get on the DJ Hero wheels of steel courtesy of @mybrownbaby and Sprite! http://shar.es/aDdFJ" (you can tweet up to four times for four separate extra entries.)
This contest ends December 31, 2009 at 11:59 p.m., and is open to MyBrownBaby subscribers/followers in the continental U.S. and Canada. The winner will be chosen via Random.org and announced on January 2, 2010. You must leave your contact information to collect your prize. A 360i representative will conduct prize fulfillment. (Note: MyBrownBaby received neither compensation nor goods for this giveaway—I just thought it'd be fun to let one of my readers get their deejay on.)
Also, MyBrownBaby readers can go to My Coke Rewards® to enter to win instantly a brand new Xbox 360 Entertainment System (2 winners per day) and Activision’s™ DJ Hero (2 winners per hour). Just type in the code found on specially-marked multipacks of Sprite®/Sprite Zero™ up to 2 times each day until 12/31/09 at 11:59 p ET for a chance to win instantly.

This message is from Jocelyn C., who had a bit of trouble posting her comment—so I'm helping her out:
ReplyDeleteMy favorite club song of all time is Padlock by Gwen Guthrie. And my favorite lines are:
C'mon hit the road Jack and I'll help you pack
If you leave right away, it will make my day
Don't wanna see you 'cause I don't need you
No, no, no, no.
No matter where I am or what mood I'm in, if I hear that song it is on.
That's the best club jam ever.
Jocelyn
