This is the video for 2GirlzFallin Angels, sent my way via Twitter by @podcastmama, who asks “Is this the worst use of AutoTune, ever?”

That’s a tough question to answer, but the video for Fallin’ Angels has a lot going for it:

  • Gratuitous rain shots? Check.
  • Generic trance beats and sounds? Check.
  • Vocalists lip-syncing non-existent harmony parts? Check.
  • Hot sisters competing to see who can wear the skeeziest outfit? Check.
  • Original lyrics? “I’m just a fallin’ angel, Loosing my religion, Trying hard to fly.” Check.
  • A special visit from the high school line-dancing strip squad? Check.
  • Classic 80’s style green-screen work? Check.
  • Vertical motorcycle riding? Check.

The AutoTuning is just the icing on the cake.

Free Music Friday: I’ve heard The Monster Mash and Werewolves Of London enough for this lifetime.

      something to think about

      My guitar only has five strings ’cause the top one broke and I decided not to put it back on: when I play chords I only play bar chords, and the top one always used to cut me there. — Brian Eno
