Recently, whilst listening to someone singing I noticed that you could actually HEAR them smiling whilst they were singing. Hard to believe, but true [link].
It got me wondering: If you could hear it, you could probably reproduce it, and possibly re-process non-smiling sounds to sound smiley!
So,
if recordings were made of someone singing WITH and WITHOUT a smile, you could process the audio to establish what had changed. Then that information could be re-used to make other songs sound, well, 'Happier'.
The lovely Tara, singing in a lift, and smiling.

I don't wish to imply this is a sad song, BTW - Just an example of an audible smile. Thanks, Tara. [Dub, Sep 29 2005]

I'd just hate it if they applied this effect to Leonard Cohen. Or Bob Marley - imagine "Redemption Song" with it <shudder> |
