At first I thought there's no way it could be serious, the cheesiness must be there to make it funny.. but according to Wikipedia (and all the other sites I've looked at) the humour was totally unintentional :|

I'm not sure that's true. I went to the URL listed in the video, and the page of the video has a note on it:
research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/songsmith/video_EveryoneHasASongInside.html
Q. This video is really cheezy. Did you mean for this to be funny, or have you watched so many late-night public service announcements that you take yourselves really seriously?
A. We’re going for over-the-top comic irony. We don't guarantee that Songsmith will actually have your entire home singing in rhyme.
The Science is cool video is also particularly bad.
