Gangnam Style Envisioned by Google Music Translate

Ever wonder what PSY is really saying in Gangnam Style? Well, four Swedish ad students, Isaac Bonnier, Jacob Björdal, David Rinman and Jim Nilsson have taken it upon themselves to create (well, at least introduce) Google Music Translate.

In a two minute video, they explain how Google Music Translate might work. The results are far from pretty. Not the student work, which isn't bad, but the actual result of Google Translate trying to "sing" Gangnam Style or Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe.

While music is said to be a universal language of sorts, perhaps it's best we don't try to have a machine "sing" translated lyrics. Nice idea though.
