All minor keys autotune-shifted to major keys.

Shocker: it changes the mood of the song.

Pretty much. I just thought it was... a thing.

I want to hear David Bowie's "Let's Dance" shifted out of the minor key. Will be a whole new song.

That's very interesting. It completely changes it into a crappy pop ballad feel, removing any hint of haunting undertones. I knew that minor keys had a different vibe from major ones, but I had no idea it went that far.

Surely that's a purely cultural bias, but nonetheless an interesting one.
