"Sippy Cups of Alien Breastmilk"




I've been playing around with an AI song generator. 

I wrote the lyrics, of course, but the rest consists of options I selected... HEARTFELT, GUITAR.



Another song I wrote in recognition of this YouTube channel:


(This one is a lot more traditional.)

Challenge:  Go to Suno.com.
Select CUSTOM to compose your own lyrics,
select the type of music, a title...

Create a song that includes "Frog Applause" in it.
I believe you have to eventually make it public in order for me to be able to post a link to it here.

Let's hear what you've got!!! (I'd prefer original lyrics instead of AI generated ones.)

Joseph Francis

Although Joseph Francis was considered one of the most well-known heroes of the 19th century, his popularity waned with the decrease in maritime accidents and he is virtually unknown today.

Joseph Francis (March 12, 1801 – May 10, 1893) was a 19th-century American inventor who devoted his life to improving maritime equipment, especially life-saving tools. His most famous invention, the metallic life-car, rescued thousands of stranded passengers and crew from shipwrecks near the shore.

Mawashi



In sumo, a mawashi (廻し) is the loincloth that rikishi (sumo wrestlers) wear during training or in competition.

If a wrestler's mawashi comes off during a tournament bout, he is automatically disqualified. This is extremely rare, but did occur in May 2000, when sandanme wrestler Asanokiri's mawashi came off during a match with Chiyohakuhō. However, for most of sumo's history, whether or not a wrestler's mawashi came off during a bout was considered irrelevant, and the policy of disqualification only came into place when Japan began adopting European attitudes towards nudity.
