This Is How The Police Would Sound In A Perfect World

Hey, readers! Wanna know the latest craze on the interwebs? Why, it’s using the rubbish Microsoft program Songsmith (allegedly a rival to Apple’s GarageBand) to give famous songs a make over! The software provides users with backing tracks to their vocals – and when you feed it rather famous songs, it tends to molest them within an inch of their life.

Marcus over at The Vine was stoked with what Songsmith did to Sting and chums, declaring happily “I’ll be damned if this mariachi version of The Police’s ‘Roxanne’ isn’t the best song so far this year. I’m not even joking.”

Judge for yourself.

They’ve collected a few brilliant Songsmithed tunes over at The Vine, so go check it out. Van Halen’s Runnin’ With The Devil is a work of genius.
