I have only just discovered Vocaloid:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocaloid

The videos made with it tend to be songs in wierd squeaky voices with horrifying Gothic plotlines illustrated by childlike manga.

Something like "Edom o Gordon" would fit in just fine, once they crack synthesizing Scots accents.

This doesn't sound good, Jack. To me, modern music already seems quite depersonalized.

I'm reminded of a song by Ray Stevens about the hit group 'Bionic Robotics,' whose members met one another in a computer repair shop.

One of the voice on an Otis elevator,
One was a Toyota-dashboard warning indicator,
One was a NASA systems-data integrator!
Bionic ro-o-o-o-botics hottest group in town...
