Similar videos, often non-political, thereafter appeared as part of the continuing Songify This series.[4] The Gregory Brothers continue to create films pertaining to politics and current events on their YouTube channel Schmoyoho[5] using Auto-Tune-like software, in a format much like their original Auto-Tune the News videos. After a hiatus in the series, these clips were rebranded in early 2012 under the title of Songify the News.[6]
