Ever since we featured the awful ad for Songsmith, I've been following the emergence of a wonderful genre - Songsmith redoing classic tracks.
If you haven't heard about it, Microsoft's new Songsmith software takes any vocal track you create and automatically generates a backing track. While it's meant for kids to put music to their singing, enterprising individuals have been isolating vocal tracks from classic rock songs, feeding them into the software, and capturing the output.
It's a very twisted type of artificial intelligence. Forget Terminators, this is the way Skynet will take over the Earth.
More after the jump.

I didn't realize The Police did calypso music. However, I figured it was only a matter of time before David Lee Roth started doing elevator/lounge music.
Wow, Sting actually seems like slightly less of a pretentious douche with that calypso backing track. Cool list, Scara.
And yeah, that's something that I think a few may have missed with my post of the original MS Ad...while the ad itself is godawful, I actually think the software is pretty neato, and heartily welcome my future robot overlords.
Wonderwall seemed like one of them crappy 'lets add some fast beats' remixes you used to get off kazaa
