The Lyrics Game

Anybody can post a challenge.

The rules of the game are simple, take any song you like from any genre you want, put the lyrics through any AI [you may weight lyrics as the AI allows] that you want and post the resulting image here under the post title Name That Song [GENRE]. After 48-72 Hours or if the answer is guessed sooner, edit the post's title to [Solved][Genre] and put the song title and artist (and optionally any highlighted lyrics) in a spoiler tag in the body of the post.

Other than that, enjoy.

Here is a list to a few AI image generators you can use.

Runnin' down the avenue, See how the sun shines brightly in the city, On the streets where once was pity, Mr. Blue Sky is living here today,

Can I just say that the shadows in this image crack me up? Some are on the correct side of the objects based on where the sun is, but some are directly under the object, some objects don't have shadows, and some shadows don't have objects.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..! Once you see it, you cant unsee it..! AI at it's finest ๐Ÿ˜†

Creep by Radiohead? Or Psycho Killer by Talking Heads?

(I only gave those guesses because when I generated images for those songs, I got results that looked just like this)

AI does have a habit of throwing something really left of field, but nopes not these

Summer in the city by the Lovin' Spoonful?

Not this unfortunately,

but age wise, its closer to this than thousand miles

[โ€“] ForgottenUsername@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Were getting into the final countdown for this one.

So more hints: its from 70s-80s, and the UK.!

[โ€“] leds@feddit.dk 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Shooting star - summer sun

Could fit the lyrics and period but not from the UK

Nopes sorry, good guess though,

The period has passed, title updated.
