Microsoft Songsmith (Internet Meem)

[MetalMilitia]

So some Microsoft Research group developed this software called Songsmith which is supposed to analyse a music track and create a backing track from it which you can sing over...

The problem is the software doesn't really work leading to some unintentionally hilarious results. People have been feeding the software songs then posting the results on YouTube. Here are some examples:

Billy Idol - White Wedding (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UlCWo1qdTdE)

Johnny Cash - Hurt (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci1K9Zcwvy4)

Oasis - Wonderwall (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e1e_h1OJfS4)(I actually like this one.)

Survivor - Eye of the Tiger (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_V1DuHUs22Q)

Metallica - Battery (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bZWTfrW3gEo)

AMAZING!

Eye Of The Tiger makes me want to make love to somebody so badddddddddddd

[Zhukov]

Yeah, Eye of the Tiger is fabulous. I'm also liking C.R.E.A.M by Wu-Tang and Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys.

This is good stuff.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I listened to Buddy Holly by weezer, also and justice for all by metallica. Bad times

Intergalactic :lol. More artists should make piano rap.

Definitely need to check out Crazy Train by Ozzie. Sounds like a polka jamboree extravaganza.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Long Train Runnin' by Doobie brothers is actually good.

[DevilWearsPrada]
