Please also be aware that all videos uploaded to YouTube are format shifted by the host website from the original files. This can often cause picture & sound deterioration (i.e. mono audio) as well as the occasional video/audio synchronization issue. The files are also deliberately layered on our end with logos and artists links in order to prevent YouTube recycling by lazy up-loaders, while at the same time helping to promote the artists themselves!

It starts more like at 2:17 I played that part over like 20x... Really like the way it sounds. Fuck autotune! Does anyone know what synth machine makes that effect?
the effect is called a vocoder. It's a device that takes 2 inputs, the 1st is the carrier wave making the actual sound, the 2nd input is known as the modulator which in this case is a voice, shaping the carrier.
I think there is no doubt Jeff was a fan of The Beatles. Listen to what he did with The Move. He definitely built off the Sgt. Pepper sound for sure. He also produced some of George Harrison's albums. He even collaborated with George in The Traveling Wilburys
