Wanted: Forgotten Songs

I am currently working passionately on an article regarding the use of auto tune. A large portion of my research requires me to go back in time, where my favorite songs lay.
So recently a lot of my favorite childhood songs have just been coming out of the depths of my mind and I break into song, and let me tell you, it's the greatest feeling on the world! My most recent excavations include songs like All Around the World by A Touch Of Class and I'm Blue by (da ba dee) by Eiffel 65. When this happens I feel a rush of happiness! Even though I can only recall a few fragments of the songs.
Then I wonder,
"These use to be my absolute die hard favorite songs, how could I forget them?!”
Then the horror sets in,
"Oh no, I've fallen into the very trap I'm arguing against in my opinion piece!”  My new favorite songs were all auto tuned! how can I write a convincing article against auto tune when I myself am being manipulated?
The feeling of guilt sets in and I feel ashamed, I shun myself from the world...or the world of my home, which was empty at the time due to the fact that my parents were out. But I still felt lame, and brainwashed... no... I FELT VIOLATED! I wanted to infiltrate every mainstream station in the world for overusing auto tune, then whip out as many synonyms my nerdy mind could spawn for the term "this is crap poop !"
And so now I warn you readers, NO, I beg of you, to resist the lazy new auto tune hip hop songs of our generation. Hip hop used to be something only pure genius and creativity could  create, the lyrics, the dance, the DJing. Hip hop used to address serious problems and conflicts which may be hard to understand now because hip hop doesn't do that anymore.

More to come in my opinion piece.

  2. Really relatable and FUNNY. But maybe auto tune in moderation is not all bad? Great post.
