Oh no! They autotuned Jesus.

Oh no! They autotuned Jesus.

Post by percussion boy » Wed Dec 21, 2011 10:03 am

It was playing in the Safeway last night, clear as a bell -- "Away in a Manger," sung with a country twang and autotuned like a teen idol.

Religion is a personal matter, but autotuned Christmas is just wrong. Hearing it gave me the most terrible feeling, like throwing up cheap wine.

Hope it doesn't happen to you.

This reminds me of that old Weekend Update skit on SNL with Norm MacDonald...

"Kenny G released a new Christmas album this season.. it's called Happy Birthday, Jesus, hope you like crap!" :)

The version of "Manger" I heard really was autotuned to a T-Pain level -- the Singing Android effect.

Bad move . . . God don't like ugly.
