David Lee Roth + Microsoft SongSmith = Pure Horror

6:40AM January 13, 2009 | Adam Frucci

An absolute genius decided to feed David Lee Roth’s vocals from Runnin’ with the Devil to Microsoft’s Songsmith software, which adds super-cheezy music to any sung lyrics. The results are, well, incredible. [Metafilter via Kottke]

What music style did you choose? This really isnt an interesting test if your not gonna try to set the setting closest possible to the actual style of the song

Thank`s so much for this amusing experiment. You really pinpointed how terrible this software is. I don`t believe Microsoft is going to make any money from this.
