An Interesting Note About The Recording Of The Song Revolved Around The Highly-Recognizable Auto-Tune Effect "Cher Effect" Utilized In The Verses And Chorus. Producer Mark Taylor Added The Effect To Cher's Vocal Simply As A Lark And In Interviews At The Time He Claimed To Be Testing Out His Recently Purchased The 'DigiTech Talker'. However It Later Emerged That The Effect Was Not Created By A Vocoder But By Utilizing Extreme And Then Unheard Settings On Auto-Tune.When Cher Heard The Results She Demanded That The Effect Remain In The Song And Her Original Vocal Be Erased Much To The Chagrin Of Her Record Company Who Wanted It Removed Upon Their Suggestion Cher's Response To The Record Label Was "over My Dead Body!" Citation Needed The Vocal Effect Is Caused By A Pitch Correction Speed That Is "set Too Fast For The Audio That It Is Processing." U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Airplay1
