They are poorly done, which adds to their charm. The Satan and Garfunkle ones might be my faves.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, this is the freakiest thing I've listened to in ages:
REM's "Losing My Religion" shifted into a major scale
Michael sez, "Someone has gone to the trouble (I don't know how but would suspect using Melodyne DNA or somesuch) of processing REM's minor-scale downer hit 'Losing My Religion' so that all the minor notes are now major. When I followed the link I thought it'd be a cover, but no, it's the original, processed. It's uncanny - the song is just as familiar as always but the impact is utterly different. Kind of like finding a colour print of a film you'd only known in black and white, or seeing Garfield minus Garfield for the first time. I like it."
I like it, but it also makes my brain hurt. It's the weirdest thing--part of my brain thinks it's beautiful while some other part thinks it's an audio abomination.

For some reason, it made me nauseated? Not figuratively-- it felt the same as looking at those 3-d image things that I can never do.

It didn't make me nauseous, but to keep on listening to it did seem like staring at some optical illusion while trying to defeat the illusion.

I don't like it. It sounds ordinary now.

I like this from one of the bb commenters:
It's like looking into the eyes of a sociopath.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Ha, I had to ask my composer/perfect-pitch-having cousin why it was so weird, and he actually confirmed what I thought, but couldn't articulate. By changing the key, it basically changes the way that the melody relates to the key. So our brains, completely trained in Western music and musical relationships, have a hard time dealing with it.

I deleted part of my reply on FB that said "it must be a part of being ear trained in Western music" because I thought it might sound stupid! But it is like the tonic is in the wrong place because they didnt transpose the whole thing, right?

Yep.

Huh. Interesting.
I wonder if the guy who did this just didn't transpose everything? Or did he do it like this on purpose just to mess with our brains?
