Mike, even though this contest is over, our family still comes to this site to hear your jingle. We love it! Good luck to you and ignore the haters - they are clearly STILL jealous! How funny.

It was great Mikey B., as your work always is!!

Sarah - July 14th @ 7:01 pm 54321

Catchy tune.

Jess - June 30th @ 2:36 pm 54321

We,re sooo proud of you!!!!

Pepe & Fifi - June 27th @ 6:49 am 54321

Good song, original. IT SHOULD be a big winner.

Susan - June 27th @ 6:27 am 54321

I think this was the best one out there - some others may have been creative, but they didn't have the entire package. this one was so catchy! great job mike, we were rooting for you all along!

Jess - June 26th @ 9:10 pm 54321

Mike, you kicked major butt with this video. People are just jealous their video didnt win. I find it funny, that people called you a professional when there was definitely some people on here with much more professional equipment than yours. You struck a cord with many people and now you get to cash in!

Dan - June 26th @ 7:24 pm 32121

WTF Budget Judges?... This is the 2nd from the worst videos of the finalists.. If I would have known you were gonna throw away $25,000, I would have filmed me in "taking the browns to the super bowl on a budget". Get Real People! Congrats on your win! You only emailed, blogged, & bored us all since April. Now that you got some money, buy some talent.

Ari Gold - June 26th @ 6:55 pm 21321

NOT!

no - June 26th @ 5:27 pm 32121

I love you Michael I'm your biggest fan!! You really deserved to win, CONRATS!!!

Allea - June 26th @ 3:51 pm 32121

congrats michael. I was really hoping you would win!

travi - June 26th @ 3:20 pm 54321

You totally deserve it - congrats! :)

Heather - June 26th @ 2:56 pm 54321

Congratulations!

delaneycouple - June 26th @ 2:45 pm 54321

Congrats Michael!

Patty - June 26th @ 2:45 pm 54321

yay!!

jo - June 26th @ 2:33 pm 54321

Great! - June 26th @ 10:36 am 54321

Great - June 26th @ 10:36 am 54321

Oh, how I love it!!!

Step mom - June 25th @ 8:42 pm 54321

hilarious and well done

Ben - June 25th @ 3:13 pm 54321

Are you kidding me, the video is great (obviously done on a "budget"-how apropos). The video aside, the tune itself is the gem here. "Budget" couldn't go wrong if this ran as a commercial for them. It's got charm, it's upbeat, and it has a catchy tune that you can't help but remember. I'd pick this one as the winner in a second even with the great competition from other presentations.

Arnie17 - June 25th @ 6:38 am 54321

Mike. It's funny how you submitted a song first and then at least 3-4 came after. The alien, budget betty and wild west videos were good but yours really portrayed in a creative way "how you" travel on a budget. It's also funny that people keep attacking you even though you're not even within the top 10 in rankings. Someone must be threatened. 5 stars for you. Goodluck. Craig says hi.

Douglas - June 24th @ 12:41 pm 54321

there are a lot of the same comments from the same people, but it is true that the video portion needs to be a lot better. there are a lot of other better videos on here. you have a good song, but no visuals. sorry, but i would vote for others.

Rick - June 24th @ 6:45 am 21321

Still love it

loveit - June 23rd @ 10:22 am 54321

The budget theme was carried throughout the video and song. This is a winner!! B brown

B Brown - June 22nd @ 7:56 pm 54321

good song, but video leaves a lot to be desired

samuel - June 21st @ 8:42 am 32121

Those that are rating poorly are clearly your competition. This is definitely the best video.

joanna - June 21st @ 8:20 am 54321

all about lasting power

ADAM C - June 19th @ 10:43 am 54321

Very enjoyable. Goodluck Mike.

yep - June 19th @ 8:28 am 54321

I have to agree with Craig I and would only add that the tune is what draws the listener to the "Budget" name. As a radio spot it is rock solid complete (edited to 30 or 60 secs.). What more would a company want then to have their name associated with the words "Oh, how I love it".

michelle - June 18th @ 10:24 am 54321

If he had an expensive camera, proper editing software, a crew and schooling on the subject matter it would help. I still feel the "video aspect" was great. It was definitely an original take on the assignment. A lot of songs came after yours; seems as though they liked your idea. Well done again Mike. We're still rooting for you.

craig l - June 18th @ 10:02 am 54321

I absolutely love the song! However the video aspect could use a little work.

Henrietta - June 17th @ 2:03 pm 32121

Absolutely! Great! Lovely scenery! Catchy tune.

Sr. Nesta - June 17th @ 8:50 am 54321

Sooooo catchy!

Rebecca - June 17th @ 8:05 am 54321

Its funny!! Its really good. He is amazing!!!

Melinda - June 17th @ 7:14 am 54321

It was a winner at the beginning and is still a winner at the end.

benny - June 16th @ 1:27 pm 54321

still love it. when do they announce a winner?

craig l - June 16th @ 8:56 am 54321

cute

sg - June 14th @ 5:55 am 21321

Despite some truly wonderful entries this one stands out. The song itself is infectious and makes you want to stamp your feet and sing along. There is entertainment, information, and connection to the "Budget" name from start to finish. Hats off to you, Michael, on a job well done.

Dad & Diane - June 13th @ 10:08 pm 54321

Been following this competition for quite some time as an observer. Everyone at the office is still rooting for you Mike.

craig - June 13th @ 1:33 pm 54321

I think this is another one of the top videos here. The song is catchy and the shots and editing are fun and quirky. This concept is a little overdone, but you did it well which makes it stand out.

Melissa - June 13th @ 12:36 pm 43211

even with more submittals this one is still the best LOVE the tune

Dot - June 13th @ 10:29 am 54321

tim - June 13th @ 10:04 am 21321

The only thing that needs to be changed in this video is the price of the gas. Otherwise it contains all the elements necessary for a good commercial, "Oh, how I love it"!

hiramdingle - June 12th @ 9:08 pm 54321

yeah your song is quite a hit :] awesome job!

rd2jericho - June 12th @ 12:52 pm 32121

Cute video. I think you have a ton of people who like it and one guy who can't leave the negativity alone. He forgot that this really doesn't have any bearing on the prizes. I think he's the same guy that accused me of cheating too. Good luck!

Yuijedi - June 12th @ 10:25 am 43211

This video and jingle is family friendly. My kids have been singing this ever since they watched it over 2 weeks ago. Great travel tips throughout! Honest, make sense ideas put to such a catchy tune is a winner!!!!

4 days off - June 12th @ 7:47 am 54321

Michael is an awesome dude with a great sense of humor and he puts all that into his songs and commercial ideas. I love this video!

Michelle - June 12th @ 7:43 am 54321

Not bad but the the other guitar guy and his girlfriend rock ,better lyrics,better video,grabs your attention and holds it, The Delanie couple thats your #1

stan - June 11th @ 10:13 pm 14321

This could even be on the radio - it is a catchy jingle that teaches people how to save and still have fun!

A. - June 11th @ 1:14 pm 54321

It is done really well and quite catchy.

matt shepard - June 10th @ 11:15 pm 54321

The competition is getting better each day, but this is still the one. It's the tune that hooks you, simple as that.

tim sanchez - June 10th @ 10:10 pm 54321

Not into it and not as creative as the others.

sncrze - June 10th @ 4:39 pm 14321

Great budget advertisement!

Allison - June 10th @ 3:42 pm 54321

Going horseback riding on the beach must have been amazing. Kind of makes me want to go. I'll have to see if any coupons are available.

mel - June 10th @ 2:18 pm 54321

Awesome Video Mike... Really enjoyed it. Makes me want to rent a car, haha.

James - June 10th @ 12:36 pm 54321

whoooO!

Timbo - June 10th @ 10:08 am 54321

Good sense of humor, and catchy. Hope it wins!

Mike - June 10th @ 1:53 am 54321

This video is worth a million!

Rob Blatt - June 9th @ 10:57 pm 54321

LOVED THAT.

Jenny - June 9th @ 10:38 pm 54321

AWESOME!

Camile - June 9th @ 8:35 pm 54321

go for it. YOU ROCK

KATHY - June 9th @ 8:34 pm 32121

he's pretty good. definitely chose him.

Jackie - June 9th @ 8:33 pm 54321

Another work of art by Mike B. :)

Sarahislikew0ah - June 9th @ 7:53 pm 54321

catchy tune and plenty of ways to budget which should fall right in line with the target market that budget is looking for.

Rich C. - June 9th @ 5:15 pm 54321

Thanks, we had a blast making the video. I love me some guitar. The one in the video and on the recording is a Yairi Alvarez, "oh how I love it". Cheers.

delaneycouple - June 9th @ 4:56 pm 54321

Lori Voornas - June 9th @ 4:26 pm 54321

Why thanks Jordan we REALLY appreciate your support. However meany comments are TOTALLY unacceptable. You know we're not about negativity JUST FUN! Michael actually gave us the idea to do a song. Great video & song Michael! See ya on the flip side Buddy! Good luck!

delaneycouple - June 9th @ 3:59 pm 54321

nicole - June 9th @ 3:59 pm 54321

Well written and informative! Worth every penny.

Rick - June 9th @ 3:40 pm 54321

HaHahAHHAHA!!!! Hillarious, and oh-so-true!

Adam Fraser - June 9th @ 3:15 pm 54321

I've watched this competition since the beginning and this video was the first "music video." I don't know what you're talking about jordan. Michele and Dave look like fun people and their video is also a "music video," but they didn't do it first.

craig l - June 9th @ 3:04 pm 54321

Im sorry, but that couple Michele and dave beat you to it first...Sorry!And it was boring....

Jordan - June 9th @ 2:24 pm 14321

You have to tell me why, with the number of good videos being submitted, I still come back to yours. It must be that jingle ("Oh, how I love it")and certainly the overall presentation. From start to finish you keep me smiling and more importantly you keep me humming the tune. Since I started watching this competition I have noticed more Budget locations in our area that I never knew existed, places I'm sure I'll use at some point. In my opinion you've managed to associate your presentation more closely to the brand "Budget" then all the rest and that's hard to do with so many good videos. Good luck with the competition and thanks for the entertainment!

mother'smink - June 9th @ 10:54 am 54321

Love it!

Maureen - June 9th @ 7:59 am 54321

Although your song is catchy, I have heard and seen this before.

Nowey - June 8th @ 10:31 am 14321

Reg Toshach - June 8th @ 8:59 am 54321

My family loves this one! Cute, catchy and budget conscious. Great job Michael.

Welch - June 8th @ 8:49 am 54321

Very boring!!

Jim - June 8th @ 2:59 am 14321

5 stars, not 3.

richard - June 7th @ 5:03 pm 54321

richard - June 7th @ 5:02 pm 32121

We can't stop watching it - and will most likely use the tips next time vacation rolls around (and when the gas prices finally come to a halt!)

Anne - June 7th @ 3:02 pm 54321

Michael, it's funny you made the ukulele/steel drum reference. One of those guys playing is also a really great steel drummer. Weird. I agree it's a happy instrument. It's so happy after we all returned home one of the guys bought a uke for himself. Instant addiction. Best of luck. It's (thankfully) almost over!

atticus - June 7th @ 1:46 pm 54321

This is fantasticly creative with great ideas for traveling on a budget.

Max Tejada - June 7th @ 11:17 am 54321

This is the snickers guys...pretty much the same as that one too doesn't deserve it there are other vid's that are more original

gary - June 6th @ 8:08 pm 14321

glen - June 6th @ 8:07 pm 14321

Elisa - June 6th @ 11:25 am 14321

Jm - June 6th @ 9:05 am 54321

tips expressed originally; props to you

Randy - June 6th @ 8:03 am 54321

Sorry, didn't think much of it last time either!

Robin - June 6th @ 5:12 am 14321

My rating of this will say it all!

Patty - June 6th @ 4:30 am 14321

Cute and to the pt

Mo - June 5th @ 8:52 pm 54321

Michael, you definately have a talent for this sort of thing. Best of luck in the contest. Don't let some of the simple minded people's remarks get to you. Your video/jingle is outstanding!! Oh how I love it!

Jillian - June 5th @ 2:34 pm 54321

I've checked all the videos every day for over three weeks, but your jingle stays with me long after I turn off the computer.

owl eyes - June 4th @ 7:34 pm 54321

gets old

c - June 4th @ 5:58 pm 14321

My dorm thinks you're the winner -great way to give people tips without boring them. Obv these ppl are jealous because its original and fun!

Girlsfrom306B - June 4th @ 5:18 pm 54321

This is so generic

Thomas - June 4th @ 5:10 pm 21321

Hey mom keep rating my video 5 stars so I win! yeah!

cheaters should lose - June 4th @ 4:39 pm 14321

same thing he did in the snickers one. boo

Boo - June 4th @ 4:37 pm 14321

Not bad, but it does make me think of freecreditreport.com

Ben G - June 4th @ 3:06 pm 43211

I keep coming back to this one. Just as good today as it was when it first came on the scene. The tune sticks and "Budget" is right at the center. Best of luck with the competition!

bill325 - June 4th @ 1:21 pm 54321

Budget should use this as their ad - it gets ppl renting!

Jillian - June 2nd @ 8:46 pm 54321

The world doesn't need another jingle...yawn

Angela - June 2nd @ 7:01 pm 14321

WAY to played out

Mary - June 2nd @ 4:54 pm 14321

Im going on a roadtrip next mo and these tips will be useful. Thanks!

Ladiesof506B - June 2nd @ 3:34 pm 54321

this is worth it i would pick this one

austin crane - June 2nd @ 12:23 pm 54321

So what if he already won one contest? The kid's got talent. This is a great, catchy song with a well-made, thought-out, entertaining video -- and, unlike most of the other videos, it actually integrated both "traveling on a budget" tips AND an advertisement for Budget Rent-a-car. This could easily be cut down into two or three short commercials, and is catchy enough that people won't change the channel every time it comes on (c'mon, we all know "those" commercials).

Wrench - June 2nd @ 11:25 am 54321

Mike, My whole family is rooting for you. My kids love singin' this tune! Ignore the haters; we think you are doing a great job.

Tylerfamily - June 2nd @ 8:42 am 54321

JD - June 1st @ 10:52 pm 14321

Yeah i agree with Snicker's, this video is lame, and is a cheap rip off of the Creditreport.com jingle, which may i add is awesome, this however is not, sorry

Agreed - June 1st @ 10:50 pm 14321

I guess this is how you made it to the Snickers finals on youtube by making up tons of name and leaving all this BS about how wonderful you annoying,silly,stupit,little jinggle is. I can't stand it I run to hit mute every time. Your not fooling anyone if you think we all belive all these people come here daily just to say how wonderful you are ! You know your video sucks so your trying to make it look like you have fans ,yea you and yourself.

SNICKERS - June 1st @ 10:16 am 14321

love the video mike.

jeffrey - June 1st @ 10:13 am 5
