See, I’d expect a decent program to do something like a bad cover band. But, it’s something completely, totally fucked up, it’s like a robotic, soothing Suicide or something. The happy little melody-turned-metronome adds this perfect unhinged mania too it, making the whole thing unsettling and bizarre. The yelling, for no apparent reason, with the music not changing at all, make the awesomeness complete.
