Get the The Keith Effect mug.When you hear a person sing, and their voice is so beautiful that they suddenly become extremely attractive, even if you didn't think so before. This is applicable to women or men with sexy voices, even though sirens are technically female.
This phenomenon is named after the lusty, half-bird, half-woman sirens of Homer's "The Odyssey."
