The Gregory Brothers are a band (3 brothers and a spouse) well known for a series of YouTube videos, Auto-Tune the News, in which recorded voices of politicians, news anchors, and political pundits are digitally manipulated to conform to a melody, making the figures appear to sing.
For those who aren't familiar with Auto-Tune, it's an audio processor that uses a phase vocoder to correct pitch in vocal and instrumental performances. It's used to disguise off-key inaccuracies and mistakes, and has allowed many major label pop singers to record perfectly tuned vocal tracks without the need of singing in tune. It's kind of a cheat, and in the past few years it's been used more and more in rap. In this case, Auto-Tune can even be used to make someone who isn't singing sound like they're singing.
One more interesting tidbit for my North Carolina peeps...one of the Gregory brothers, Michael, graduated from Appalachian State University.
If you like this, they have several more on YouTube.
