WEIRD VOCODER...

Is it POSSIBLE to be amused by ANYTHING that has to do with vocoders? If you've listened to Shauna Cuntwell, the answer is NO.

Is it POSSIBLE to be amused by ANYTHING done in rap rhythm? If you've listened to Eminem, the answer is NO. 

So what the FUCK is this? 


Within a day, a vocoder-rap novelty grabbing moments from the last Clinton-Trump debate has gotten hundreds of thousands of hits. 

It helps that Weird Al's name is on it, and he "moderates" it, rapping questions to the candidates. They respond thanks to pretty clever cutting and editing that mimic rap rhymes and, thanks to vocoder tricks, pitches the sentences so that every word is its own note.

Is it POSSIBLE to be amused by a vocoder-ized rap? Uh, POSSIBLE. But Weird Al's overboard eye-popping and gesticulating is, as always, pretty obnoxious, and politics is depressing.
