Linus Torvalds directs our attention to an absurd bluegrass cover of Billy Idol’s “White Wedding” created by Jack Tripper on the new Songsmith musical accompaniment program recently released by Microsoft Research that adds music to singing.
There’s also the Microsoft Songsmith Latin version of “Roxanne” by The Police.
Here’s the promo video for Songsmith, which helps you release your inner song.

Anyone else think through the possible permutations that the music chosen IE bluegrass could have been triggered by the words sister shotgun wedding, thats a chuckle right there
Thanks for linking to my videos. I was flattered that Linus himself linked to me!
ThatBozGuy is my new short duration hero. This thing is so crappy, Ron Popeil wouldn’t hawk it. Actually I wonder what the great Ron (Patron Saint of marketing…RIP) would say about this?
