Listen: Jerry Minor's Auto-Tune Masterpiece from CDR Radio

[Jouster]

For those of you not listening to Comedy Death Ray Radio, here's a pretty compelling argument that you should be - Jerry Minor's hilarious auto-tune masterpiece from last week's episode. Attentive listeners will hear host Scott Aukerman and the week's other guests Andy Kindler and Brendon Walsh on the track (skip to the end of this story to hear it).

In other Comedy Death Ray Radio news, tomorrow's episode will be an SNL summit, with cast members from all four decades of that show, according to Scott Aukerman. CDR Radio is on every Friday on indie103.com at Noon PST.

I cannot stop listening to this. Absolute genius.

[Gwardo]

I've listened to this over and over for the last 3 days.

Brilliant.

[Pimpbot]

Agreed. I love the fire report tag as well.

I'm so glad this got posted. When I heard it on CDR Radio, it cracked me up. It's way funnier than it has a right to be. It also makes me want to get my own portable autotune setup, carry it in a backpack wherever I go, and insist on singing instead of talking for the rest of my life.

This has been stuck in my head for days. Glad I can finally have it by itself on my iPod!!!

[Berliner]

I wish we could get a copy of the whole song, as it apparently goes on for much longer.

Duplicate post.

Rollin' on dubs..

The CDR version ended the way I wish most contemporary hip-hop music would end, abruptly after a couple minutes with the artist saying, "You get the idea..."

If you have an iPhone, it's your lucky day. (No backpack required.)

Well crap-on-a-biscuit!!! Still no AT&T or iPhones in Montana. This app may be worth moving to another state for.

Or get a touch (new ones come out next week -- with cameras!)

EDIT: nevermind -- "not currently available on iPod touch" (no idea why)

I bet because it requires the microphone, which Touch does not have. If it would work on the Touch I'd make Crystalinne mail me hers back from college.

But the 2G touch is mic-compatible, so if you plug in headphones with a built-in mic you can voice-record. Maybe the 3G will have one built in and work with this joint.

Perhaps sadly, I recently entertained a large group at a party I held by hooking up my iMac to some nice speakers, launching Garage Band, playing drum loops, and improvising auto-tuned vocals about all the party goers. Somehow, everything is hilarious when auto-tuned, even "Brad's at the party, wearing a button-up shirt....its greeeeen with some stripes, oh yeah playa"

And for those of you still too shy to sing even with Auto-Tune, GarageBand will make you sound like an auto-tuned mouse or robot if you ask nicely.

Ooo I did not know that. You may have saved me thousands of dollars in moving expenses.

[Dr. Feelgood]

Wait, what is he saying about Palos Verdes and percentages at the end?

It's the fire report. "20 percent contained."

[dorothy mantooth]

Ha. That's my favorite part. I've actually caught myself walking around singing, "La Cañada-Flintridge -- 20 percent conta-ained..."

[Keith Whitener]

I think Jerry should make a video for this.I bet it'd go viral!
