If you’ve listened to music on commercial radio within the past few years, then no doubt you’ve heard at least one song featuring the effects of Auto-Tune. It’s that effect which was created to “repair” an imperfect voice recording, but once the general public started experimenting with the effect it became a meme.

In the latest episode of Know Your Meme (subscribe) “Weird Al” Yankovic joins team to discover the background of the Auto-Tune Meme.
