# Hip-Hop News Parodies ‘Auto-Tune the News' Lampoons Carrie Prejean & Other Headlines By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-04-24 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auto-tune-the-news-carrie-prejean References: [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=schmoyoho) While the Web is buzzing about Miss California Carrie Prejean, gay marriage, the legalization of drugs, and global warming, Michael Gregory is [making music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-news). His ‘[Auto-Tune the News](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ellipsis-news)’ segments are [absolutely hilarious](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-investment-fraud), and I’ve included his latest above. We’ve seen Michael Gregory’s work before—he’s one of the minds behind the Obama Girl’s duet with Barack Obama. I’m amazed at how lyrical newscasters, Carrie Prejean and Hillary Clinton all sound when their voices are fed into Auto-Tune. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **News Parody Videos:** Opportunity to create and share humorous videos that parody current news events using technology like Auto-Tune. - **Internet Comedy:** Opportunity to leverage online platforms and social media to create and distribute comedic content based on current events. - **Creative Remixing:** Opportunity to remix and transform audio or video footage of news broadcasts into entertaining and funny content. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for comedians, content creators, and video platforms to produce and monetize news parody videos. - **Digital Media:** Opportunity for digital media companies to create and curate comedy content that satirizes current news events. - **Technology:** Opportunity for developers to create innovative tools and software that enhance the production and distribution of news parody videos. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Internet Humor News](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-daily-snoo.md) - [Pizza-Themed Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucha-little.md) - [Personal Audio News](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypermedia-play-news.md) - [AI-Powered Karaoke Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mayk.md) - [Rapper-Inspired Easter Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-starr.md) - [Pop Culture Presidency Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brat.md) - [Tween-Targeted Weekly News Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-stop-news.md) - [Iconic Halloween Candy Songs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-corn-1.md) - [Viral Political Campaign Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harris-walz.md)
