If you are an animal lover—the video below will likely put a smile on your mug.
It shares the video story of a large black raven named Loki who was rescued by a man after the bird had been neglected—and at that time the bird was described as depressed and anxious, and in "bad shape."
It took four years of patient care by the man, named Elliot, for the pair to develop a bond—but now the raven is thriving—and it's delightful to see their interactions as the bird cuddles and shakes its tail feathers for Elliot, and clucks and chirps it's affection toward him.
There might be a few people in the world who aren't yet aware that a LOT of the music we hear today has vocals that have been adjusted using Autotune—software that corrects slight (or major) imperfections in a singer's pitch—resulting in a performance that sounds MUCH better than the original.
Cher's conspicuous use of Autotune for her 1998 hit song, Believe—was the first time that many became aware of the technology.
Since then, many artists purposely choose to "hide" that they more subtlety use Autotune on their recordings and live performances—preferring to let their audience believe that what they are hearing is a skilled, pitch-perfect vocal—rather than an enhanced digital manipulation.

Screen Grab From The Video Below
With that mind, today's post features a HILARIOUS video from the Canadian comedy series, LOL ComediHa!,
where they parody auto-tune being taken to an extreme—showing a sound engineer frantically working the control board to "fix" a singer's stunningly bad vocal.
It's an obviously inaccurate portrayal of how Autotune works—but it is still pretty funny!
Check it out and see if you don't agree!
BTW—comedian Sylvie Moreau is the woman shown lip-syncing to a track sung by Canadian singer Nancy Forti, who is actually a pretty decent vocalist:
YouTube has a fantastic channel where the owners upload very creative videos starring OwlKitty their black cat.
Using green screens and clever editing, they insert footage of their cat into movies scenes with hilarious results.

You'll find three embedded below: Lord of the rings, Avengers Endgame, and a "Behind the Scenes" look at the way the videos are made.
If you're into movies and seeing what talented people can do on relatively minuscule budgets (and perhaps especially if you have a kitty of your own) you'll probably love their work.
