Siri Sings ‘Stairway to Heaven’ (Video)

Apple parody site Scoopertino has done it again, “announcing” that Apple has done away with including actual musicians in the iTunes store, instead having their Siri assistant sing the entire iTunes catalog! They’ve also included a fantastic video of Siri singing Stairway to Heaven.

Tim Cook and his executive team had been toying with creative ways to tighten Apple’s stranglehold on the world music market — but the light bulb went on the moment Tim learned that Siri could carry a tune.

The plan is simple: cut out the music companies and re-record the songs — all 12 million of them — with Siri on vocals.

“We have every intention of paying for the music rights,” explained Cook. “We just don’t see the need to pay the performers and middle men.”

The video is an absolute riot! While I wouldn’t want to replace my entire music library with “songs sung Siri,” I definitely wouldn’t mind having an album or two of songs like this just for the geek cred!
