Cracking up

greenpear posted a few links that are making me howl in delight.

You see, Microsoft has released a new program called Songsmith. What you do is sing into a microphone, and it automatically plays music in the background, "matching" it to your voice.

First of all, the commercial for it is hilarious. Like, one of the worst I've ever seen. They were clearly trying to go for so-earnest-it's-funny, but they failed miserably.

Secondly, clever people immediately begin Youtubing music videos where they've taken the original vocals from songs and put them through the Songsmith to see what it will "match" them with.

Greenpear's entry, with links to the original Songsmith commercial, and links to Youtube videos with vocals by Elvis, Johnny Cash, Rush, Peter Gabriel, etc., all run through the Songsmith with loltastic results.

I am still loling. Srsly.
