The clever auto-tuners over at Schmoyoho have come up with another amazing video, this time in the form of the final debate being “songified” for our viewing pleasure.

This was the third and final debate between Governor Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama for the 2012 presidential election. As the two politicians battle it out in a heated discussion to gain America's vote, the guys over at Schmoyoho were busy coming up with new and clever ways to auto-tune the what was discussed.

The end result is a rather humorous take on the final debate that includes mouths and hands that have been green screened into the video and an [original song created](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonauto) using actual words and phrases from that night.
