This is too hilarious.

Never heard of it before, but microsoft has a program called songsmith, which puts a backing track to your vocals. So people added in vocals from famous songs to find out what would happen. Here’s the murder of one Radiohead classic.

You’ll find more examples of songicide over on the original article in the Times (uk). (And more on youTube of course.)

Seriously the company should be charged with songslaughter.
(is that songs-laughter or song-slaughter?)

Unlike garage band from apple which i’ve heard inspires creativity.
go microsoft, go far.

Plus, someone’s had a go at songsmithing one of Obama’s speeches.
