mr. rogers autotuned,I kind of hate auto-tune. Let's just get this out of the way now. There isn't much that could get me to change my mind about this. Not much, that is, except the magic of Mister Rogers.Thanks to PBS, we now know what the late Fred Rogers would sound like in the world of auto-tuned Internet memes. The result is actually kind of incredible.
The new Mister Rogers video was created by John D. Boswell , the man responsible for the Symphony of Science and Remixes for the Soul series. We may never know why PBS sought out the man to remix Mister Rogers' Neighborhood for the Internet age. But I, for one, am very, very happy that the network did so.Mr. Rogers is joining scientist Carl Sagan and the snuggie in the Pantheon of unlikely viral sensations.

PBS Digital Studios commissioned John D. Boswell to make a remix featuring auto-tuned clips from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. The result is the surprisingly eerie “Garden of Your Mind” track.
Boswell is the creator of the Symphony of Science remix series, which includes clips from the PBS documentary series Cosmos. That space-themed series ran from 1978-1979 and featured acclaimed scientists.
