Isn’t that the song which introduced the world to autotune ?

The effects on Cher's vocals were achieved using the pitch correction software Auto-Tune. Auto-Tune was designed to be used subtly to correct sharp or flat notes in vocal performances; however, Taylor used extreme settings to create unnaturally rapid corrections, thereby removing portamento, the natural slide between pitches in singing.[10] Taylor said it was "the most nerve-wracking part of the project", as he was not sure how Cher would react.[6] She approved and insisted the effect remain when Warner wanted it removed.[9] In an attempt to protect their method, the producers initially claimed it was achieved using a vocoder.[10] The effect was widely imitated and became known as the "Cher effect".
