Today Apple’s Steve Jobs unveiled some new, exciting gadgets and updates—iTunes 10!— that will no doubt revolutionize our lives yet again (and will hopefully not need a bumper case to work properly). Following the exciting tech news, Coldplay’s Chris Martin did an unveiling of his own with a song called “Wedding Bells”. Jump below for an intimate performance and a few very witty Apple jokes from the the “Clocks” singer.

The British singer clowned around while kicking off his set by doing his best impersonation the Apple’s CEO. Chris described his song as, “Coldplay version 2.6…It has a lot of features. It features seven different kinds of chord…It’s in the chord of I minor,” Get it: iPhone, iPod, iPad? The crooner then transitioned into the melancholy song—mentioning that he’s unsure will ever end up on a future album. Below take a listen, for the first time–and the last time?– to “Wedding Bells”.

Word on the street is that Martin is first on the list for the yet to be created iPhone 5, in exchange for lending “Viva La Vida” to an iPod commercial, doing this gig and naming his daughter after Jobs’ company—okay, so we made that up.
