Write your lyrics you bloody bastards

That was said in the spirit of Tim Dalton a la Flash Gordon. I'm not sure he ever said that but there you go,. Anyway for Dan W's excellent Record Time IV project I built a lyric writing machine. It's great, and you should try using it whilst writing lyrics for Superheroes of Space. It's called iLyricise because unless it's got an i in front of it, it isn't modern or online. Go and play with it

I've tapped "Laika" into it for the purposes of writing about ... Laika. In short iLyricise condenses a Wikipedia article about any subject into a list of words, ranked by how rarely those words appear in that article. What more can you want? What? What? Good night.

  1. nice app B. Just typed in 'droids' and on page 3 got

    ' be believed, widely displayed, intelligently think, emotionally react.'

    That sounds really poetic and profound and I'm sure it must mean something. Now, if you could just create an app that writes the music we could put our feet up and let this project write itself!!
