We Will Rock You - Queen vs Songsmith

[Diego69428]

i really like how it sucked good job wasting ur time

[BeNotNormal]

I think I actually like this version better than the original.

[tabbyaboutroots]

holy shit this actualy fits so well hahahahahah

[FlyingOverTr0ut]

Sounds like music that should play over the end credits of an episode of Eastbound and Down.

[2Foxxy4U]

It... It hurts. I mean, all things considered, it's not THE worst thing ever, but... You don't FUCK with Queen, man!

[daxor1]

anyone else thought your mouse or something unplugged at 0:45?

[geoper2]

hahaha still laughing

[pogodrummer]

oh my... it's actually somehow good...

kinda...

[FilipePhoenix]

We can hear when the actual Queen instrumental tries to come back to the song a couple of times, but I really cracked myself when I heard that old Windows system sound at 0:43

XD

[narfy]

@FilipePhoenix yes that makes the song. lol

[randomeditor]

@FilipePhoenix yes! that is my favorite part!

[sabrejack2]

Microsoft Songsmith tries more interesting chord changes than the average modern pop musician. That says a little bit about the genius of its creators, but it says more about the state of pop music.

[marcmitchell]

thats flupin heal hairy ass :)

[Nikkrazz]

Freddie meets the Eagles.

[Zomwat]

The lyrics describe the song nicely.

[FireFart179]

...its not really that bad.

[Amityrockstarx]

This sounds so off and ridiculous I think I shit myself laughing. What it sounds like when Queen decides that their true passion is.. THE SALSA.

[KnightOneDark]

Oddly charming. 

[jmj540]

sounds like a spanish birthday party

[CuriousAmigos]

I think this sounds better than the original.

[ataraxic89]

oh god, cracked sent me here and I nearly threw up.. NO kidding, I became sick to my stomach

[w0nk001]

spanish Queen will siesta all over your face

[Elwetara1]

Am I the only one that kinda likes this?

[SuperLlama42]

This is surprisingly awesome.

[LordAaronus]

no way to trigger a guitar solo in songsmith? fail.

[Schatzmass]

0:44 - New hardware found!

[30072743]

...hey, this kind of works.

[KaraMayonakaSora]

Dammit, I want to try out this software now.

[iammishahearmeroar]

0:45 Lolwut

[bxxch10]

With this, Songsmith has officially buttfucked American society

[julianphilipkevin]

@bxxch10 Sorry about that. I'm not actually American, so I'm not sure how I did that.

[bxxch10]

@julianphilipkevin Haha I was kidding. I'm not american either but it's just this is hilarious.

[furiousajp]

@julianphilipkevin That was my favorite reply all time.

[LordAaronus]

@bxxch10 I thought Queen was English?

[bxxch10]

@LordAaronus They're pretty big in the U.S. :p

[kc0jtl]

@bxxch10 ???? Queen is British, so I am not sure how it has affected American society. ????

[GeorgeBerger6969]

@bxxch10 American society?

[joethulhuz]

@bxxch10 Queen are English.

[VINAYBAR]

Who else thinks this is actually quite catchy!

[WillBigHit1]

I'm actually really enjoying this.

[KerrBB]

For something that automatically makes music based off vocals compared to actual talent writing music, this is quite enjoyable.

[mickeymouse12678]

And what shall this new blend of music be called?  Ralsa? Sock?

[MnesomnesTears]

@mickeymouse12678 I think I like 'sock' best. It just seems appropriate in regards to comparing this music with dirty laundry.

[trevgoodchild]

I am in a coma.

[fenrir007mx]

Songsmith is a misunderstood geinus, in a hundred years, people will remember this as THE definitive version of We Will Rock You.

XD

[Overhazard]

@fenrir007mx Someday, some archaeologist will uncover this and believe this to be not just the original song, but sung by Queen Elizabeth II.

[betathedog]

0:26-0:27 best sound i have heard in awhile...

[ListOfFavorites]

Songsmith from microsoft + Queen = the reason why I have a Mac.

[nerdelicious5]

elevator music :D

[kite10122]

It's okay, surprisingly. 

[fhistleb]

This is fantastic. Its also got the right amount of cheese :D

[Sign213]

this is so out of rhythym and out of place

[Unkn0wniva]

beginning kinda sound like hotel california

[julianphilipkevin]

Nice! 

[loerde97]

ich hätte nich gedcht das das so gut past

[StrawberryBoy100]

I actually kinda like this....

[abbazabbajuice]

how do they get the soloed voice from the song?

[AnonymousWillDestroy]

Really makes me appreciate Mercury's vocals, actually.

[navigator256]

USB Plugin at 0:45 HAHA :D thumbs up

[MatheusMK3]

@navigator256 lol

[LlamasWithAtaris]

I want to hear "Won't Get Fooled Again" Songsmithed someday!

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

THE PHANTOM EWOKS WILL RISE AGAIN

[redman8903]

i will play this at my funeral.

[MatheusMK3]

@redman8903 Yea... xD

[LetsPlayAutism]

what

[robbycocksmith]

The bongo pickup note is what does it for me.

[Conchobhar]

The first Songsmith version to improve on the original.

[lordzzacs]

this is the reason Microsoft is better than Mac

[Habbloxian]

@lordzzacs Garageband had this feature already. And Windows still sucks, even with Songsmith.

[AdiMercury]

@lordzzacs Than Apple, not Mac XD I'm a Mac User. And no, i prefer the original one, this version is funny anyway XD

[BlueReckless]

@AdiMercury Mac user, eh? Can you tell me if it was possible to send an automated text message from a Mac desktop computer in 2004? I've just spent a lot of time on a baritsu debate and have a pressing desire to see if modern-day authors do it any better,

[ItsumoYume]

...

LMAO! THE PART WHERE WinDOWS "dongs in" LMAO!

[ItsumoYume]

......

LMAO

[xraydelta1]

THIS ISN'T SALSA THIS IS MEXICAN OOMPAH.

[hamtamnam]

DOPE REMIX BRO.

[BLCaptainCrazy]

oh god salsa-queen

it shouldn't exist

[soizic29]

Wonderful! And the USB docking noises only add to the harmony.

[Ecci]

This is amazing! :D

[minwav]

I just had an aneurism.

[IwillKillYourCereal]

I realize that this is butchers the original, but you have to admit that it does match pretty well XD

[liveevery]

I love this!! :D

[beerfish55]

Well this sure is more cheery. :D

[wookiewhat]

It sort of sounds like christmas music

[yragcom1]

This the funniest thing ever.

[StrifeSilver]

Well not bad actualy if you ask me

[SrgFuery]

I like this..actually. 

[arcthemonkey]

@SrgFuery ... Me too.



[LazyMan9000]

@SrgFuery - Me too, but not for the right reasons, methinks. It fits... but it doesn't.

[magog1138]

That's... Not that bad.

[DieSchwartzmann]

I must admit, I like this better than the original.

[arcturus119]

i lold. and THANKS CRACKED :D

[hellationships]

I actually really like this.

[blaarp]

I dunno what's weirder, that there's a computer-generated salsa version of "We Will Rock You" out there... or, that, I gotta admit, it kind of works for me.

Now I'm kind of wondering why Celia Cruz never covered this song.

[RainyDay1010]

this went better than expected...

[PAvver]

this... doesn't sound so bad

[saxano327]

!Absolutely love the record scratches!

[winfr34k]

Doesn't sound too bad Oo

[TheButtnose]

this somehow works. awesome!

[MountManage]

Anyone else hear the joy when the chorus kicks in? Like life itself becomes harmonious and everything is wonderful.

[ross817]

Reason #859 to hate Microsoft: Songsmith.

I'm sure I don't need to list the other reasons.

[julianphilipkevin]

I've been wondering why this clip has been getting so many comments recently, and now I know why. Thanks, Cracked. That's all. :)

[joman66]

@julianphilipkevin Cracked is the best..

[supermario0192837465]

@julianphilipkevin thats were I saw it. cracked is the best

[thespadeinator]

@julianphilipkevin my university prof also uses it as an example of the remix capabilities in our digital world. He also showed us the original ad for songsmith (i'm making songs with songsmith dad) as an example of how not to market a product

[JiminyKracker]

I can't stop listening to this. I've been back 3 times this week

[TheVideoAnalyst]

Is this like a cha-cha Italian remix or something?

[TrendyMoron]

Shit, I like it.

[knux25]

This is creepily fitting...

I think... I like it?

Crap.

[cdm55]

I feel like I should be drinking a banana daiquiri and wearing a hawaiian-print swimsuit while listening to this...

[JiminyKracker]

@cdm55 everyone thumbs up to this dude lol

[noisepuppet]

Finally, computers are good for something!

[LovexThatxKills]

It sounds like a remix for a bad B movie.

[goblinbee4]

LOL'D SO HARD

[duckduckgreyduck]

I love the little pause it does before the chorus. Ridiculous.

[ulmwarrior]

kind of fits...in a way...

[boitahaki]

THIS IS AWSOM

[SwollenThumb]

I like it. The only reason people think it's weird is because they've heard the original so many times.

[buffyspregnant]

This actually kinda works!

[reddenbawker]

sounds like a christmas song

[Germeka]

I r confused. D:

[MutantWren]

Well, it's clearly nothing like the original, but that's actually pretty nicely done for a soulless computer program.

[Beakerr0]

Oh my god. I have been laughing for the last 3 min now. I can't get over this. I cannot decide whether it is awesome or an abomination.

[princesstamika]

....strangely danceable. ..

[adamsonxxfifteen]

LMAO, wow.

[DarkExternalHeart]

What the....

I dont even...

[JiminyKracker]

:D LOL! ROFL! and every other acronym to express the joy this brings to the ear!

Songsmith, you're a star!

[VampiresDontSparkle]

Hey, this isn't so bad. >.>

It's pretty hilarious. I think the program did a great job. :D

[cloudjessie42]

love the pause at :35

[tigerlily2329]

this isn't actually that bad! I'm shocked

[X1mtheDespot]

I actually like this! :S

[Chaeley]

I think the program did a good job with what it was given, tbh. XD This is hilarious.

[Fama0]

...I don't think it's so bad? Of course it's not a good as the original - what the hell did you expect? It was an ok song (the version songsmith did). Did some of you seriously expect a computer program would do a better or as good as version of a classic song? And if not, is it a terrible program?

[buffypython]

Seeing Deaky dance to the music at the beginning is hilarious! XD

[betistachka]

LOL I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

LOLOLOLOL

[SpartanJose777]

Ironically, if Freddy Mercury had been alive to hear this today, he'd have wished he'd died of AIDS a few decades ago.

[IMmoreRANDOMthanYOU]

This version > Original

[SigandGibbs]

@IMmoreRANDOMthanYOU Oh fuck you

[claymanzd616]

lol this is great!!!

cracked

[JanJanCherry]

...I really want to rip my ears off.

Thank you.

[CWO01]

This is...AMAZING.

[kcpunk123]

MY EARRRRS!!!!!!

[Tareltonlives]

Hear that spinning sound? That's Freddy in his grave.

[sierra087]

@Vidike and @polgasrg Me three. :P

[bruno192]

Songsmith is a piece of shit.

[KelLorien]

the chorus sounds surprisingly good, actually. Completely different from the original, of course, but I still matches up rather well with the true melody.

[SangerZonvolt]

Okay, I actually like it. And of course it´´s different from the original. I bet there are worse interpretations out there done by humans.

[MastaRikta]

This makes me SO uncomfortable...

[sagenichibotsu]

I liked it.

[theealex]

It sounds like Scissor Sisters

[polgasrg]

cracked brought me here

[Vidike]

@polgasrg me too

[OddmusicNmore]

this video made the guys at WMG very confused

[BlueLikeWoah]

Not as bad as I was expecting though to be honest.

[TheOmega11]

The only ones at fault here would appear to be Queen. You can't blame anyone for not being able to reach Queen's level of awesome and just giving up before getting started, for it simply cannot be done.

[DaisyExodus]

... WOW. XD

The only reason why this works is because I think both songs are the same pitch. Other than that, the moods obviously clash big time, but it's still funny. XD

[OfAwesomeWin]

Better than the original

[PIVOTMAN101]

it's shit... but it works

[TotalComposure]

I prefere this version

[NEONAVALON]

thats RICH ...HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHA

[alpomo]

0:30 lol the pause

[xxelaxela333]

just doesnt seem to work

[hardstreetbambi]

hahaha i love the giant awkward pause, "we will rock you..."

[drakeishfyre]

@hardstreetbambi its not awkward at all

[hardstreetbambi]

@drakeishfyre its totally awkward..

[musicluva13579]

This made Freddie mercury look gayer than he really was.

[Tehbeastlives]

It somehow works...

[TheRitterCat]

Songsmith makes MY EARS BLEED!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG­GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[operationcwaI789789]

love the pauses in between

[Dominator150395]

WE WILL SALSA YOU!

[torandi]

Haha. You can hear the "something disconnected"-sound @ 00:47 :D

[garymaster42]

@torandi That signified us being disconnected from reality and into the wonderful world of Songsmith Salsa! :D

[nitsujri]

@torandi totally thought that was my computer

[BigDeliciousD]

This is horrible, yet I can't stop watching. It's truly a train wreck. Songsmith must be the work of the devil. This might be the end of civilization. It's the anti-christ of music.

I can't stop laughing -- somebody stop me.

[garymaster42]

No one will ever top this in terms of songsmith remixes. :D

[wtfmovman]

honest to god, sounds as bad as runescape music...

[Eloisada]

It sounds much better than the original song :-D

[meister246]

@Eloisada No, just, no...

[Oroborus12]

I now know the sound of a song being raped, I'm going to go throw up now.

[davetista]

i think the vocals overpower the instruments too much.
