Circa 2009, the highest honor available to a weird local news video was a remix by the Gregory Bros., the nerdy internet band famous for Auto-Tuning the 2008 presidential debates. But blatant, T-Pain-style Auto-Tune has long since gone out of fashion, and it's been a while since we've had an Antoine Dodson or a Sweet Brown.

This is allegedly a leaked, unaltered recording of Britney Spears singing "Alien"—from her 2013 album Britney Jean—without the benefit of Auto-Tune, pitch correction, or any of the other studio tricks that featured heavily on the album. It sounds a teeny bit different from the finished track.

If you know anything about the Internet, you know that there was no way the insta-iconic interview with Cleveland hero Charles Ramsey wasn't going to be autotuned.

YouTube's food reviewer du jour Daym Drops (see here) made such a convincing case for the supremacy of Five Guys Burgers and Fries over all other comparable chains that Internet icons the Gregory Brothers felt compelled to pair his review with a heavy yet not overwhelming Autotune Sauvignon.

Kim Kardashian debuted her first foray into music—a feat of autotuning called "Jam"—on Ryan Seacrest's radio show today. "Turn me up, Turn me up, Turn me, Turn me, Turn me up," she bleats thinly. Kim is either trapped at a club with very quiet DJ (The same club where Ke$ha and J.Lo are always begging, "Turn it up." Maybe the deejays are quiet because they only have access to shitty songs?) or she is asking us to turn up the faucet from which all things Kim Kardashian pour, because this song is a celebration of the art of earning your keep with half-hearted product endorsements and paid appearances:

In case you forgot, the 2011 Academy Awards are on right now! James Franco and Anne Hathaway are hosting (and being awkward). And for some reason, we were just treated (subjected?) to this random Auto-Tune the News-like montage.

Not feeling festive enough for MLK, Jr Day? Watch the man responsible for your day off sing his heart out in Memphis and get in the holiday spirit.

Would you like to hear the worst auto-tune ever? Tom O'C recorded this gem, and it's matched up to a slide-show of pictures of him in his office, with his ladies, and in his Benz. He's taken down his website.

Ever since his splash on the national stage with his "Rent Is Too Damn High" platform, Jimmy McMillan has been subject to a level of chatter usually reserved for someone like Britney Spears. Now, finally, McMillan's auto-tuned video is here.

As with everything that the Gregory Brothers auto-tune, it was only a natural matter of time before this was done. Here, watch/listen as Jon Stewart's moving speech that closed the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear gets the T-Pain treatment.

The Gregory brothers took the video of a woman singing her unfortunate ode to SunnyD, and with the help of Auto-Tune they turned it into something far greater. Watch both videos inside, and see the transformation!

After watching a pretty weak episode of How I Met Your Mother last night, many found themselves finally asking if the show had jumped the shark. What about that mysterious wedding that was set up during last week's episode?

Jacob Isom—the rattail-coiffed Koran hero of Amarillo, Texas—is officially a phenomenon. The video of him telling a local news about how he swiped a kerosene-soaked Koran from would-be burners has gotten its first auto-tuned remix.

You had to know this was coming. Jacob Isom, the now-famous "Dude, you have no Koran!" hero, has had his story auto-tuned. From Isom's one-liners, to the original news report—and more—everything about the story is now more melodic.

Whether you're in it for the interviews or to see what everyone is wearing, it's tradition to tune in early for the Red Carpet action. Why, then, does it feel like constant suffering? A breakdown of the worst offenders inside.

There are many interesting ways to earn a living in our post-industrial economy. Like ranting on camera about your sister being nearly raped. That's what Antoine Dodson did—now he's got a Hot 100 Billboard single!

On Monday, Justin Bieber was hit in the head with a giant water bottle, hurled by a crazed fan at a concert (see it here). Now, the incident's been auto-tuned and remixed—and it's better than the original!

These days, politicians have made it when people on the internet take their public words and arrange them into club-banging super jams. Here, the words of Tennessee gubernatorial hopeful Basil Marceaux (.com) are turned into beautiful music.

You know you're dealing with quality when a mixtape pops up only four days later. Antoine Dodson just wants you know there's a rapist in Lincoln Park, but there's no better warning than a song. Run and tell that, homie.

Plenty of people listen to the calming sounds of nature, few dare to autotune them. In the alliance of nature and machine, there can only be one Internet Animal Orchestra.
