Surprised there hasn't been a thread on this yet. In case you haven't heard about it already, Songsmith is a new bit of microsoft software, where the user sings something into a microphone, and songsmith spits out a ridiculously chirpy keyboard-demo style tune to accompany it. Tons of people on youtube have been putting the vocals from classic pop songs into it and seeing what comes out. Most of them are (unsurprisingly) a complete mess, but these are my personal favs so far:
The Police - Roxanne (sounds exactly like koopa beach music in mariokart)
Soulja Boy - Crank That
And this is an advert for it, which (i think) is real, even though it seems like a horrifying joke, a cynical pastiche of some 1950s advert for chocolate muffins or something. It's almost as horrifying as this old Windows 95 instructional video featuring matthew perry and jennifer aniston.
