What would happen if Ice Cube’s “Today was a Good Day” was fast forwarded 18 years later and set in a modern-day start-up? …in a world with no pagers or drop top convertibles, just Foursquare check-ins and beach cruisers. You’re about to find out. Get ready for an updated Silicon Valley version of “Today Was A Good Day.” Comedian Hasan Minhaj stars in the music video with the music remix by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. See if you can spot Jimmy Wong and Asian Glow in the mix.
Pay attention and you’ll notice this is a commercial for Jawbone’s Jambox.

Lyrics to Wednesday Was a Good Day by Hasan Minhaj
Just wakin up in the morning gotta thank Jobs
I dunno but today seems kinna odd
Hella email, got no spam
All these fools straight obsessed with my instagrams
Morning fitness on the Wii, you know I do
Girls textin me as I rock a Warrior Two
JAMBOX blastin’ so you know I packed it
Forgot to lock up the bike, nobody jacked it
Organic produce to my door all pre-pay
Damn. Bout to be a nice little Wednesday
CHORUS
Thirty minutes late but my game’s still tight
Got a blast that the boss is at an off-site
Now it’s feet up, time to chill
Angry Birds cause I always got some pigs to kill
Troubleshooting for the cuties, that’s my joint
Backrubs as I re-install her PowerPoint
My deal’s almost tipped, could use one more
You want in on a self-guided Segway tour?
Sixty deep for the line at the taco truck
Guess what? The intern’s gonna let me cut
Going nuts on the guac, extra layer
They show respect cause they know that I’m the mayor
On a conference call and I’m feelin no stress
This thing’s wireless, act like you’re not impressed
Closing deals from the Valley to Bombay
Turnin’ out to be a nice little Wednesday
CHORUS
Later on in the evening got it going off
Sick wine and cheese rager up in my loft
Keds so fresh, they know not to step
Don’t call it plaid, it’s a gingham check
Get me in the game and I’m trouble
Droppin bounce shots in and they countin double
Camera phones flash when we take the tourney
Now put your head back and move it like Bernie
Checked my hip and got a re-tweet from AK!
Gotta say it’s been a nice little Wednesday
