azz100c asked:


Here’s what Weezer’s hit “Buddy Holly” would sound like if they’d used Microsoft Songsmith. Original vocal track from the 1994 recording, everything else by Microsoft Songsmith! Find us at MOCKSESSION.COM !!!

    I actually noticed the exact same thing supercake did. The bridge was shorter than the song could really register, so the next verse began 2 bars into the chord progression it had already made. That explains the tempo/rhythm problems.

    Yeah exactly. Haha I also love the chord preceeding the second verse…

    This is the first Songsmith remix I’ve heard that actually sounds decent. Weazer could actually releasing this as an official cover and no one would know.

    Songsmith doesn’t know a six bar phrase from an eight bar phrase any more than it knows a verse from a chorus.

    It sounds soooo beautiful! A bit sad, but I think, their fast singing tempo fits the contratry slow melancholic music.

    By the way azz100c, your Songsmith versions are by far the best cause you actually match up tempos! Not to mention have the original vocal takes… Nice

    Nah it’s just that the bridge is a 6 bar phrase rather than 8 so it sounds off a bit once you get to the chorus… I love 1:17 though haha – brilliant progression

    It’s not off rhythm-wise, actually, it just doesn’t have a one-beat. Coupled with a song where the singer uses syncopation (and doesn’t have very good rhythm himself) and it will sound off-beat.

    Not sure what you mean about the key, while Songsmith obviously went with a majority of minor chords the tonic is identical to the recorded version — A.

    this is one of the more atrocious Songsmith songs on here. Songmith fucked up not only the key, but also the rhythm. It’s like the whole thing is of by a beat something.

    Kind of like when metal bands did ballads to get on top 40.

    The rap part rocks!

    It’s like a mash up of ‘buddy holly’ and ‘great gig in the sky’.

    This will be what music sounds like after the machines take over, people!!!

    Fitting that 50 years ago was the ‘day the music died’ considering that 50 years from now will be the ‘day the muzak rose’!!

    Rivers Cuomo will almost certainly re-record the song in this style at some point.

    suprisingly fitting. if the vocals werent as fast paced it might actually make a real song

    I’ll humor you, because you obviously are missing the picture.
    Songsmith is software by Microsoft that automatically adds music to vocals. SOFTWARE is making this song sound bad, not a person. That’s why it’s so funny.

    I do believe that 2:20 just about sums up the general consensus toward Microsoft SongSmith. XD

    you are right. probably didn’t have to try very hard to ruin this. Everyone has a gift, they just have to realize it.

    Great lengths? “Someone?” You have no idea what “Classic Hits by Microsoft Songsmith” means, do you?

    This is such a great song and video. Why would someone go to such lengths to make it suck so much?
