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.

Just as a thing for folks that might not know a song, I think I might occasionally post the lyrics of an identified song.

I think part of the fun of this community is the way the various generative programs take the lyrics and how they weight which parts to turn into images. This one is, I think, one of the best translations of lyrics to image in a while, despite only using one small section of the song in the image.

Thunder Thunder Thunder Thunder Thunder Thunder

Thunder Thunder Thunder

I was caught in the middle of a railroad track (thunder) I look 'round, and I knew there was no turning back (thunder) My mind raced and I thought, what can I do? (Thunder) And I knew there was no help, no help from you (thunder)

Sound of the drums Beatin' in my heart The thunder of guns (yeah) Tore me apart

You've been thunderstruck

Rolled down the highway Broke the limit, we hit the town Went through to Texas, yeah, Texas And we had some fun

We met some girls Some dancers who gave a good time Broke all the rules, played all the fools Yeah, yeah, they, they, they blew our minds

And I was shakin' at the knees Could I come again, please? Yeah, the ladies were too kind You've been

Thunderstruck Thunderstruck Yeah, yeah, yeah, thunderstruck Ooh, thunderstruck

Yeah

Well, I was shaking at the knees Could I come again, please?

Thunderstruck Thunderstruck Yeah, yeah, yeah, thunderstruck Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah

Said, "Yeah, it's all right We're doing fine" Yeah, it's all right We're doing fine, so fine

Thunderstruck Yeah, yeah, yeah, thunderstruck Thunderstruck (thunderstruck) Whoa, baby, baby (thunderstruck) You've been thunderstruck

Thunderstruck Thunderstruck Thunderstruck Thunderstruck You've been thunderstruck

[–] philo@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

it's got to be wrong

Train Train, originally by Blackfoot, covered by several bands but quasi-covered by Warrant. Quasi because they changed the song a good bit. But either version would fit the pic

I'm sorry, but that is in no way a "crazy train". It's clearly on the tracks.
