Game of Thrones Gets the Auto-Tuning Treatment in This Funny Mashup
Andrew Sztein — April 3, 2013 — Pop Culture
It’s no secret that Game of Thrones is one of the most popular fantasy shows on the tube these days, but perhaps a better kept secret is how musical the gory, violent saga can be.
Yes, the auto-tuning craze is alive and well, but fortunately in this case, auto-tuning is used to its greatest effect, which when it’s played for laughs instead of a straight face. This charming Game of Thrones auto-tune video was put together by YouTuber and general fan of fantasy shows Edgar Camago. I defy you to try and get the chorus out of your head as the viewer is informed over and over again that a “Lannister always pays his debts.” This auto-tune with a violent fantasy show spin is both hilarious and catchy.
