At the end there, when he's talking about "Auto tune", he's referring to a technology that's been around for decades. One of the originals was called Antares Auto-tune, and what it doesn, basically, rounds the sound frequency to the closest pitch. You could sing like you're barfing up a whole fish, run it through Antares, and you'd sound like an angel of the music gods.
Someone discovered that the effect sounds neat when you set the autotune to a key the singer wasn't intentionally singing in. Cher's "do you believe in life after love" used the effect, and from then on picked up as a fad in R&B, top 40, etc.
Other than the intentional effect stated above, normally, you're not supposed to pick up on the fact that the pitch is forcing a step change. However, in some tunes by shitty singers (boy bands, britny' spears), you'll notice, if you listen closely, that they're using auto-tune because the singer couldn't stay in key worth shit, even in the studio.
Hey, I did not know any of that which you just said. I figured it was designed to be an intentional effect, like that guitar-voice-flanger-modulator-thing that Peter Frampton uses.
Lungclops sent me part 2 a few weeks ago. He remarked on the seemingly arbitrary use of "Sade" as an all purpose transition. Apparently, though, T-Pain does it too.
Ron Paul's hands
I think that was just about as informative as most real-life cable news programs.
Fuge, do you have a wav of GIR saying "I don't know what you just said" by any chance?
I reeeeeeeeally don't. :(
But I found these!

I have been feeling lukewarm about these of late, but this one's pretty great: Auto-Tune 6.
