Microsoft presents I share because I love

[brynndragon]

Microsoft has created a program called Songsmith, where the idea is you sing to it and it spits back musical accompaniment. So people have been giving the musical equivalent of the Turing Test: if you isolate the vocal track from a popular song and feed it to Somgsmith, will it return a reasonable (or at least hilarious) musical background? Here are some such attempts: Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train, Billy Idol's White Wedding, Rush's Tom Sawyer. But someone took it one step further: a Barak Obama speech.

crazy train killed a small part of my soul.
White Wedding wasn't that bad.
I liked the speach.

The thing I adore about that rendition of White Wedding is I always associated it with the concept of a backwoods shotgun wedding, which made the video full of awesome for me ;P.
I find myself sorely tempted to feed, say, the last part of Reverend Lowrey's inaguration benediction into it. . .

I never realized how Polka Ozzy was. Weird Al, eat your heart out!

I admit, Caribbean Roxanne makes sense to me too. . .
