Among the many normal new features of the iPhone X is the addition of Animoji — all your favorite emoji, but synced up to reenact facial movements like a Snapchat filter on steroids. It’s hard for me to fathom why anyone would want to use these terrifying things. Or, it was until FastCompany tech editor Harry McCracken introduced my Twitter timeline to “Animoji Karaoke.”

It’s pretty simple: you record yourself lip-syncing with your favorite emoji to your song of choice, like Sisqo’s “The Thong Song” or Smash Mouth’s “All Star.” My horror has momentarily been suspended to enjoy this foxy rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
