If you liked Carl Sagan’s autotuned music videos celebrating the wonders of the cosmos, you will like this one celebrating the wonders of evolution too, featuring David Attenborough, Richard Dawkins and Bill Nye.
Steve Jobs’ legacy will live forever. This auto-tuned song will not. Even if it’s so stupidly bad that it’s awesomely good.

You may’ve seen a Toshiba ad on the gogglebox, starring T-Pain? This is the extended version, which just made me crack up with laughter. Expect to hear “megagigabyte, son!” become the new catchphrase (amongst nerdlingers, anyway).
