[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL736C3116AD309B58&feature=plcp Songify the News]] ([[BrandNameTakeover formerly Auto-Tune the News]]) is a web series by Music/TheGregoryBrothers (and Evan's wife Sarah), under the Website/YouTube username "schmoyoho" [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY (accent on the yo)]], that consists of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin taking news clips and applying the Auto-Tune filter to them.]] Combined with backing vocals, clever editing, masterful tunes and witty lyrics, the result is often SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic. In recent days, [[BSide shorter songs made using a single source]] have also become [[MemeticMutation wildly popular]]; this "Songify THIS!" series seems to have taken over the original "Auto-Tune the News", which seems to have been renamed "Songify the News" for more recent entries.

* DarkReprise: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdBF6h7oH5I Bad Hombres, Nasty Women]]" of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AreTsuFUOs FINAL DEBATE SONGIFIED]]". The changes in the actual arrangements are fairly subtle - some indeterminate electric organ chords layered over, some open fifths in the vocal arrangement changed to minor thirds, use of Weird Al's heavier voice for the moderator, and a slower flow used for Clinton vs Trump compared to Obama vs Romney. The nastier, more vicious tone of the IRL 2016 election fills in the rest of the detail.

* BrandNameTakeover: In a way, with their own videos. A lot of recent Songify This videos are considered to be Auto-Tune the News videos.

* OminousLatinChanting: There is ''some'' kind of terrible chanting in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEuY5GMfyoc American Carnage]]" as a new president takes charge. Combined with BadMoonRising, GrayRainOfDepression, RedFilterOfDoom, [[OminousVisualGlitch Ominous Visual Glitches]] and Cinegrained film effects, it's easy to tell what Schmoyoho think of this man and his ideas.

* InTheStyleOf: KeithOlbermann provides the "Most [[Music/KanyeWest Kanye-Esque]] Verse" in #9.

*** "[[CubanMissileCrisis It's still a place that is strictly off-limits.]]" "Not for this G, I just went there illegally, speaking of which [[RefugeInAudacity will you buy drugs from me on national TV?]]"
