Auto-Tune the News
This is one of my favorite videos from 2009. If you’re not familiar with Auto-Tune, it’s a piece of software that can be used to correct the pitch of a singer’s voice in a recording and it’s became ubiquitous in pop songs, almost to the point of absurdity (see T-Pain). The Gregory Brothers decided to take the absurdity to another level and used news clips covering current events combined with Auto-Tune to create hip hop songs. They’ve release nine videos to date, but this, their second, is one of the best. Be sure to pay attention to the lyrics.
