Song Smith (I don't care if it's wrong or if it's right)

So given the success of Apple's Garageband application, Microsoft came out with their very own version called Song Smith. I haven't used either one of these applications but apparently the Apple version is much better. I guess one of the features of song smith is that it will auto-magically create music based on its analysis of the vocals. So people have run popular songs through it (I'm not sure where they are getting the vocal-only tracks from) and creating some really interesting, yet bizarre songs.

Here's some of my favorites:

Eye of the Tiger as a slow love song
Lo-Fi Creep
Hillbilly CrazyTrain
The Police's Roxanne in Reggae
Van Halen's Running with the Devil
