Makes your kids' macaroni art tribute to Adam Yauch look like a pile of puke.

Earlier in the year, Microsoft came out with a program called SongSmithwhich automatically adds background music to human singing. So, a solo singer in the elementary school play needn?t have the lame-o accompaniment of the music teacher on a piano anymore. Computers can automate that menial task with MIDI sounds instead! A stable version of the software came out this month.

Screw auto-tuning your voice ? just auto-tune the music in the background to match whatever horrible pitch you happen to spew out. I can?t wait till the day I see text at the beginning of a music video that credits Microsoft as a producer.

I was recently turned on to SongSmith because it made this Soulja Boy song tolerable. Another truly staggering application ?- SongSmith can take great music and make it even better. Check out a few more mash-ups after the jump.
