I don't know what I was expecting but that isn't Hurt, it's Surfin' USA with Hurt's lyrics that sound extremely jittery and grainy.
I'm curious though if some AI soon could in fact synthesize the Beach Boys' style with the actual chords and melody from the NIN song, possibly with some of the pathos of Johnny Cash as well.
- sumtechguy 3y agoThe one I found fun was the matrix ice ice baby mashup. That was sort of janky but good enough to be fun.
- darkerside 3y agoYeah, I hate it to the point of being personally offended. It has nothing to do with Johnny Cash's rendition. I'd probably feel a bit better, but not much, if it were advertised as a NIN mashup.
- cm2012 3y agoIt's definitely in the realm of "soulless"
- mock-possum 3y agoYeah that’s kind of the theme of the YouTube channel - I think it’s hilarious honestly, but maybe you have to go into it knowing what to expect.
- darkerside 3y agoYeah, based on the parent, and the genius of the musicians involved, I was expecting something more than the sum of its parts. Hurt is an incredibly powerful song, and the Cash rendition imbues it with another beautiful layer. As a joke, I can see it being funny, but it was a jarring way to experience it.
- mckirk 3y agoI'm sorry, I probably should have advertised that better.
- aidenn0 3y agoNIN and Cash have equal billing on that video. Many people might only know Cash's rendition...
- legitster 3y agoI agree. The "x words over y music" can be fun, but isn't really impressive as a true genre parody. The one that always comes to mind for me is this video of an Eminem interview done from scratch as a Talking Heads song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfl3N9nesRg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfl3N9nesRg This is potentially something that generative AI could be good at doing (at least recreating vocals), but this parody of the Talking Heads required a lot of very clever insight into what made a good Talking Heads song and returned a convincing and novel melody. And I think we are still a ways off.
- adamesque 3y agoYeah, Nick Lutsko is super super funny and a very talented musician. That’s hard to replicate.
- kristopolous 3y agoMore evidence that AI is an artistic tool of new media and not a replacement of the old.
- tracerbulletx 3y agoThe name of the channel is "There I Ruined It".. That's the point, the person who created it did it specifically to make you feel like that.
