This nine-minute heartbreaker titled "Mad Ave Blues," sung to the tune of "American Pie," is sure to bring tears to the eyes of every agency creative type, media buyer, and trade reporter who love-hates advertising. Brilliant, and painfully nerdy.

[To the tune of "American Pie"]

Bye, bye those big upfront buys
Pitched my client who was pliant
But the pitch didn't fly
And old ad boys were drinking martinis dry
Singing "Tech has taken us for a ride"
"Algorithms got me cross-eyed"
