I don't know if paying for samples via Mechanical Turk is "crowdsourced," but you were 100% right on the being chilling. Is there an audio uncanny valley to go with the visual one we know so well? Like when something sounds close-to but not exactly like something else we know? That was so weird to listen to.

Edit: or perhaps the Mechanical Turk performance is more like a haka than the original song in effect - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI851yJUQQw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI851yJUQQw
