I’m going to see what I can do with this one. It’s not the most popular overall, judging by bandwidth – “Boom Boom Out the Speaker” is – but La-La is only 2/3’s the file size and hasn’t been posted for as long, and it’s been leading lately. The vocal sounds like Stuka. Doesn’t it seem like Stuka could be singing it here?
Here are the lyrics the A.I. came up with –
Lyrics
[Intro]
Mm-hmm
Mm-hmm oh-oh
[Verse 1]
No ni-no ni-no
Ya ba-la ta-ka
Ride the wave then flip it back
She say brr-brr-la
[Pre-Chorus]
Ri-da-di-da
Coming through the static
Ri-da-di-da
Bright and loud and dramatic
[Chorus]
Sko-ba sko-ba-ra
Don’t you catch me now
Sko-ba sko-ba-ra
Sass is all I know
Sko-ba sko-ba-ra-ra
[Verse 2]
Te-na ta-na to
Wanna try my luck
Overdrive a melody
Break it then pick it up
[Pre-Chorus]
Ri-da-di-da
Echo off the ceiling
Ri-da-di-da
Every bolt I’m stealing
[Chorus]
Sko-ba sko-ba-ra
Don’t you catch me now
Sko-ba sko-ba-ra
Sass is all I know
Sko-ba sko-ba-ra-ra
[Bridge]
La-la hoo-di-di
Nobody can slow my glide
La-la hoo-di-di
Sunshine on my side
[Chorus]
Sko-ba sko-ba-ra
Don’t you catch me now
Sko-ba sko-ba-ra
Sass is all I know
Sko-ba sko-ba-ra-ra
Some of this is useable as-is. Much of the weird text is just a variation of “La La La” in the song, so that’s o.k. The entire first verse will need to be reworked. “Ride the wave and flip it back,” mmm, I need to leave “flip” alone because the A.I. will probably lose the flourish on it if I change it, and that’s worth keeping.
The pre-chorus is good as-is.
In the chorus, “Sko-ba sko-ba-ra-ra” needs to be changed for sure. “Don’t you catch me now” is intriguing, but for the final chorus I’ll try to change it to “Did you catch me now?”
“Sass is all I know” has to be changed.
Verse 2 needs work. Given the limitations of A.I., it’s best if I change as little as possible. Te-na ta-na to will have to change, and “overdrive a melody,” but I should be able to work around the other two lines.
In the next pre-chorus, “Echo off the ceiling” needs work. “Every bolt I’m stealing” can become “Every look I’m stealing.”
The bridge has some flourishes that should be kept. “Sunshine on my side” would make more sense as “Sunshine’s on my side,” and it sounds like that’s what she’s singing anyway, so I’ll just change the written lyrics to reflect that. It’s not a bad lyric if there’s some support for it elsewhere.
“Nobody can slow my glide -” Ideally, I’d only replace “glide” to make the bridge work.
Well, let’s see what I can do. I’ll generate an end for it, download the stems and see about changing the words I have replacements for. I’ve done it in the past, but who knows about the current state of the model? It was bad last week.
Now you can see how A.I. music making quickly dives into “real musician” territory. Even if you aren’t writing out every individual note, you have to have a feel for what works. You’ve got to be able to tell the A.I. about the cowbell. This isn’t too far from what it’s like –
