The Gregory Brothers have built a career out of songifying. Now with their free iOS app, you can try your hand at songifying too. It auto-tunes audio and even adds music to it! Success not included.

Now this is what we call projection mapping! Several design studios collaborated to produce this perfect stage concept for bringing electronic artist Amon Tobin’s new album ISAM to life.

The talented musician/comic Matt Mulholland seamlessly blends Will Smith songs together here in his tribute to Big Willie, while doing the bassline and instruments a capella. (Thanks Ronald!)

The technical perfection of Daft Punk’s club hit from TRON:Legacy always got our heads bobbing. That’s probably why Youtube shredder swanthewhitepig’s dead-on cover is so impressive.

A few years ago, YouTuber evi1wombat hacked a busted treadmill computer, making it play the ending theme to Portal. Now that Portal 2 is out, this was inevitable: Want You Gone on the Cybex.

So, we’re scratching our heads over here at TA while being entertained, wondering how Wax Audio’s Lady Gaga-Judas Priest mashup works. No, really, it’s all wrong. So why does this work?
