Title
Autocomplete
featuring Worm Quartet
Some time ago Google introduced an autocomplete feature for their searches. This had the interesting side effect of surfacing some of the stranger queries that people enter in Google. The best of these have been compiled on FailBlog here.
All of the autocompletes you hear in this song are real. Lyrics and music by Devo Spice. Background vocals by Luke Ski, Jared Ringold, and Worm Quartet who also plays the part of the computer.

So the voice that used to live in Devo's head now works for Google instead?

Why is it I find it perfectly natural that every voice Devo hears is Shoebox.

Lol, nice. Autocomplete is a portal into the dark soul of the masses. But also, funny :)

Well done, very clever idea, and hilariously funny!

Oh great. Devo Spice's inner voice has escaped and now works for Google. In listening to this song without looking at the page first, it took me a minute to realize that autocomplete voice was exactly who I expected it to be.

Devo, after your cover of "There's a Platypus Controlling Me" and now this incredible song, I happened to stumble across a recent "Doffenshmirtz's Daily Dirt" on YouTube where he complained of this very issue (http://youtu.be/Ek8V_ew8ahg). Now, I'm wondering if the connections between the two of you are more than mere coincidence. Hmm....

This feels like the lovechild of I'm On It and Inner Voice. Beautiful.

For Google autocompletes you want http://www.cerpcerk.com/autocompletes/ I find the added images makes them way more funnier.

Just now I typed "auto" in the Fump search bar and waited for it to autocomplete to "autocomplete".
