I made this back in early 2001 right before it became cool to make music using text-to-speech robot voices. I was way ahead of the pack on this one.
I had envisioned making a series of scenes from pivotal moments in cinematic history, but this is as far as I got. Who has time to make genius art? Not I, my friends.
To be truthful, I think I just wanted to hear robots talking about abortion. And for that, I declare this to be a complete success.
This is the scene from Godfather II when Kay tells Michael that she had an abortion, passionately reenacted by male and female text-to-speech voices. Please don’t hold the past six years of robot voice abuse against this work of great art. I can only think of a few robot voice things that are actually better than this, one of which is the Karate Kid/Yoga Kid fable at the end of the Cockfight record I posted already. And I made this before I heard that, so suck it.

i might start doing my airbreaks in text-to-speech.
I tried that once and remember it being difficult at best. I wish you good luck in your future endeavors.
There’s other songs using text-to-speech robot voices?!? What are they, I gotta hear ‘em!!
I did a version of “Straight Outta Compton” and I thought I thought of it first. Harrumph.
you know this is one of my favorite things that you have ever made. this and the speech from ID4….amazing.
this story was great! I hope there is Godfather III..!

This is mostly a splendid post. Thanks a ton for spending
