This week I am going to introduce to you my favorite YouTube channels. What do I mean by that exactly? Think of YouTube as a TV, now just like a TV, YouTube has different channels that you can watch, Sometimes the channels contain original videos, made by the person posting them. However, other times the channel contains videos on a particular subject.
Today I am going to introduce you to schmoyoho (The Gregory Brothers) and the wonderful world of autotune. Autotune is software that is used in the music industry; it takes vocals and "autotunes" them into which ever key you would like. This gives people that would normally sing out of tune the ability to sing in key. Autotune is most famously used by T-Pain.
The Gregory Brothers took a different approach to autotune when they began 'autotuning' the news. Turning the normally boring news into fun songs. Since then they have expanded to autotuning you-tube clips and nearly anything else that is requested. In fact The Gregory Brothers have become so popular and good at what they do, their most recent claim to fame was doing an autotune for The Oscars.
Some of their most popular songs include:
The Double Rainbow Song
The Bed Intruder Song
Backin Up Song
The following video is divided into two parts. The first part is the original video. At first it is funny to watch. However, pretty soon you start to get very annoyed with it and her singing. But please push your way through it because the other half is a great Autotune mix by The Gregory Brothers, it makes it well worth the pain of the first half.
This video is a perfect example of why I love, what they do. It shows how something that started so bad can be made into a song that is not only catchy, but awesome.
