Nothing will ever beat the sheer sadness of the Windows 7 Launch Party, but this new Microsoft demo is sure weirder. Our chipper host here is going to demo Songsmith, a Microsoft program nobody uses. By singing so very painfully.

Microsoft's Songsmith, which autogenerates music for acapellas, has been out for about a month. That's been enough time for a number bizarre remixes to surface on Youtube. Here are some of the more bizarre selections.

Microsoft's inherently-ironic Songsmith software is such a goldmine. Here, some jokester has turned those stock market frowns upside-down by setting them to Songsmith's relentlessly upbeat Casiotone beats.

Microsoft's Songsmith software, which creates Casiotone-style beats to match whatever off-key warbling is optimistically sung into a mic, finally has an ad as corny and annoying as the software itself promises to be.
