Winning – a Song by Charlie Sheen

With any luck, this will be the last thing ever posted about Charlie Sheen on the internet. As they have a tendency to do, the YouTube sensation the Gregory Brothers have closed the case by introducing autotune to an otherwise decreasingly newsworthy event. In this case, we’re left with the pop gem “Winning,” sung — in a manner of speaking — by Mr. Sheen himself. Watch the video after the click.

Auto-tune: Steve Jobs, Original iPhone

Steve Jobs’ Reality Distortion Field is legendary. And in a way, it’s not too different from auto-tune: both take sources that may be mundane and transform them into something perfect, ironing out any objections a person might raise just by smoothing out the presentation. That must be why this “song” featuring Steve’s announcement of the original iPhone on vocals is such a perfect fit. Check out the video after the click.

Sanity Song

Stewart gave a final, inspiring speech to cap off the event, and what do you know, the Gregory Brothers have autotuned it. Check out the autotuned version of the speech after the click.
