Funny spoof on the played-out effect.

From wikipedia.com

“Auto-Tune was used to prominent effect on Cher’s Believe, recorded in 1998. When first interviewed about this, the sound engineers claimed they had used a vocoder, in what Sound on Sound perceives as an attempt to preserve a trade secret.[5] The software came to attention in dancehall reggae music from its use on Tanto Metro & Devonte’s song “Give it to Her” and Beenie Man & Ms. Thing’s song “Dude.” R&B singer T-Pain has been credited with revitalizing the technique in contemporary popular music by making active use of it in his songs, a style that has since gone on to be imitated by numerous other R&B, Hip-hop (including emcees Kanye West and Yung Warsame and Lil’ Wayne, and R&B singer Akon, most notably), and other pop-music artists.[6]
According to the Boston Herald, “Country stars Reba McEntire, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw have all confessed to using Auto-Tune in performance, claiming it is a safety net that guarantees ticket buyers a good performance.”[7] It is also used prominently on much recent Ethiopian popular music.”
