Sometimes, people recording their voices on their home computers accidentally make the recording available via Kazaa or other file-sharing network. And sometimes, a mischievous composer known as Stark Effect remixes those recordings into songs for a project called Mic In Track. The results can be incredibly catchy, surprisingly wistful, or just sweet.
Stark Effect’s work can also be found at Dictionaraoke, where remixers use online dictionaries to sing classic songs. I don’t know why it’s so funny to hear a computer sing like John Lee Hooker or Astrud Gilberto, but it just is.
In fact, the only thing that’s better is stopping by The Party Party and hearing George W. Bush singing “Imagine” or rapping like madman. (Warning: that last link is NSFW. The President is surprisingly pottymouthed.)
