Singing Cats
Yes, we’ve all seen YouTube videos of talking cats. But have we all seen singing cats?
I thought not!
If you don’t know, there’s this computer software called autotuner that takes noise (in most cases, human voice) and tunes it to a nearby note. The farther the original note from the autotuned note, the more noticeable it is. Virtually every pop star uses autotuner to ensure that all the right notes are hit. Some actually get very close, so the difference is barely noticeable; others are so far off that the resulting voice sounds more like a keyboard synthesizer than a real voice. I’m sure you’ve heard it.
Anyway, Joel over at rathergood.com (home of the sponge monkeys!) took an autotuner to a bunch of cat videos. The result is sheer musical brilliance.

[...] I’ve talked a bit before about autotuner. I always love creative uses of it, as long as it’s not crappy pop music. Anyway, there’s a group now committed to autotuning the news on YouTube. I thought I’d post a clip that I found amusing. [...]
