The Gregory Brothers is a quartet featuring Michael Gregory, Andrew Gregory, Evan Gregory, and Rose Gregory, who obviously isn’t a "brother", she’s married to Evan.
They are the brilliant minds behind Auto-Tune the News, one of the most popular channels on YouTube. The power behind the Gregory Brothers work is their technical skill with auto-tune software. takes real news broadcasts, and through clever editing and the power of auto-tune software, an invention of an Exxon engineer, believe it or not. His name is Andy Hildebrand, and his Auto-Tune software enables a skilled editor to process audio recordings and bend the pitch to achieve a musical effect. I think the original use of Auto-Tune was simply tol correct off-tune singing.
But the Gregory Brothers use it to take original spoken-word mainstream news broadcasts, and transform them into songs. The result is one of the most innovative creations on YouTube.
One of their best known creations is the Bed-Intruder Song:
As of this writing, that video has over 105 million hits – incredible.
One of my favorites of theirs is the Backin Up Song:
I could go on forever with other hits of theirs, but I’m guessing many of you already have seen them.
BUT WAIT – I didn’t create this blog post to just talk about their hits, but to share something new that even their biggest fans probably haven’t seen.
But … tell you what, I don’t want it to get lost in this blog post. So … I’m going to post it tomorrow.
Stay tuned!
