First, I just discovered something called Auto-Tune the News on YouTube. It's a series of music videos where people in the news (Katie Couric, Joe Biden, etc.) are made to sound like they are singing, with beats and edited-in background singers. They're hilarious. My favorite is number 6, about Michael Jackson, Sarah Palin, a climate change bill, and drugs, among other topics. The other vids (there are nine) are excellent as well. Here ya go:

Autotune #6 is the best! Closely followed by the one where Katie Couric leads everyone in singing "People on the road can turn an LOL into a great big OMG".
