My friend Allen linked me to a NY Times article about Microsoft Songsmith - a new application that takes the words that you sing and turns them into a song by adding drums, instrumentation, etc.
Here is Microsoft's promo video. Pretty funny in its own right, yes?
The high comedy comes from the community of YouTubers that took the vocals from popular songs and backed them with music from Songsmith.
Here are some of my favorites. Some are funny, some bizarre - all make ambitious rhythmic statements. Enjoy - there are many many more on YouTube...
Buddy Holly

Sgt. Pepper

Battery (Probably my favorite.)
