At first it seems a fairly simple transformation of the original 
recording - the  pitch wanders erratically all over the place, as if 
the turntable were about to expire (it gives new meaning to the 
"groaner" epithet sometimes applied to Bing and his emulators). Then 
the backup singers come it behind him, and they're dead on pitch 
while Crosby's voice continues to wander. Quite a clever hack.
