Nobody was singing the whole song, only individual, isolated notes (both for regular instruments and the phoneme synthesizer) went through the mturkers, in homage (machinage?) to how the original was programmed.
Personally, I would have preferred a version that kept the "voice" from the original and only replaced the non-voice instruments.
