[![Grammy Awards 2013 ads see Google and Microsoft go headto foot video](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/grammy.jpg) ](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/11/grammy-gadget-ads-2013/)
This year's Grammy Awards weren't as packed with gadget advertising -- gadvertising* -- as the [Super Bowl](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/04/super-bowl-2013-ads-samsung-best-buy-blackberry-and-zombie/), but Microsoft and Google still coughed up to hawk their wares. The former wanted to demonstrate the productivity chops of the [Surface Pro](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/05/microsoft-surface-pro-review/) with a commercial that implies the device will cause your employees to breakdance involuntarily. Google, on the other hand, wanted to show off the powers of the [Nexus 4](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-4-review/) and [Google Now](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/android-4-1-jelly-bean-review-a-look-at-whats-changed-in-googl/) to help you distinguish between fish and vegetables, in case the smell isn't enough. Curious to know more? We've stashed the clips after the break.
* A term we just invented. Hollywood, call us.
