A.I. vs Me Lyric Competition

I've written many sets of lyrics over the years.  Some fun, some filler but I've always tried not to be generic or garbage like a New Country song.  Currently, I think Frank Zappa's song Joe's Garage has the best lyrics in any song ever made.  It tells a story, it rhymes and the topic is fun.  Then I found out people were using AI to come up with song lyrics.  How lazy can you be?  Then I wondered how would my real lyrics stack up to A.I.?  Let's find out.

When I started browsing for websites that would generate lyrics, I came across way too many that wanted me to either sign-up or disable my AdBlock.

To thee I say Nay.

First website I found to not be douchy was lyrics.mathgatti.com but after running a few songs, I found their lyric generator blows.  I went with Bored Humans' Lyric generator instead (for all songs).

 

Song: Whistle Blower



My Lyrics
 

Ai Generated Lyrics
 

Whistle Blower

She's a Whistle Blower
blowing whistles all the time
She's a Whistle Blower
blowing whistles all the time
By the time the day is through
she has already told on you, and that's no good

She's a Whistle Blower
ain't got nothing better to do
She's a Whistle Blower
ain't got nothing better to do
Well she's taking things in her own hands
if you don't meet her demands, and that's no good

She's a Whistle Blower
blowing whistles once again
She's a Whistle Blower
blowing whistles once again
She thinks she knows what's best
never thinks about the rest, and that's no good

She's a Whistle Blower
blowing whistles all the time
She's a Whistle Blower
blowing whistles all the time
By the time the day is through
she has already told on you, oh yeah, and you're going to jail

**Rat-a-Tat Blues**

Verse 1: Well, there's a little tale I got to tell,
'Bout a sneaky snake, a whistle blower from hell.
Always stirrin' up trouble, layin' traps along the way,
This tattletale rat, causes havoc every day.

Pre-Chorus: He's got a knack for mischief, a twisted little mind,
But I ain't buyin' into his cheap and dirty grind.
He thinks he's so clever, playin' both sides of the game,
But I see right through him, he won't tarnish my name.

Chorus: Rat-a-tat, tattle tale, you're just a no-good snitch,
Think you can bring me down, oh, you just met your match.
Rat-a-tat, tattle tale, you won't get the best of me,
I'll rise above your lies, set my spirit free.

Verse 2: He whispers secrets in the shadows, spreads his poison with pride,
But I won't let his deceitfulness take me on this wild ride.
He may think he's powerful, with his secrets to reveal,
But I won't let his treachery break me, gonna keep it real.

Pre-Chorus: I've got my loyal friends, allies in this fight,
Together we will expose him, bring his darkness to light.
His web of deception, oh, it's bound to come undone,
Rat-a-tat, tattle tale, your reign is almost done.

Chorus: Rat-a-tat, tattle tale, you're just a no-good snitch,
Think you can bring me down, oh, you just met your match.
Rat-a-tat, tattle tale, you won't get the best of me,
I'll rise above your lies, set my spirit free.

Bridge: Oh, your words may sting for a moment, but they won't break my soul,
I've weathered storms much stronger, I'll come out of this whole.
You may have your secrets, your whispers and your lies,
But karma's on my side, and she'll catch you by surprise.

Chorus: Rat-a-tat, tattle tale, you're just a no-good snitch,
Think you can bring me down, oh, you just met your match.
Rat-a-tat, tattle tale, you won't get the best of me,
I'll rise above your lies, set my spirit free.

Outro: So, keep on with your tales, your twisted web of lies,
 But I won't let your darkness overshadow my skies.
Rat-a-tat, tattle tale, you won't define my name,
I'll keep on moving forward, and leave you in your shame.
 

Rat-a-tat, A.I. took a shat.  Sadly, I didn't see one blow job reference.  Grade 2 lyrics and the whistle blower trades spots between the verse and chorus.  Maybe the AI doesn't know what a whistle blower is or it's using Meriam's dictionary for reference.

Next is Beach Whistle, the run away hit from 2016.  It ran away so fast you didn't get to hear it when it was new.  The Topic was beach whistle and "in the style of" I put me as I'm the only person I know that has a song called Beach Whistle.

Song: Beach Whistle

Beach Whistle

Well, where did you come from? Baby, are you lost?
Looks like you were used up and someone dropped you off
It's sad to say that you're not part of the plan
You're like a Beach Whistle, left out in the sand

Well, I bet that you were something, something all in white
Back when you had purpose and everything was alright
It's sad to say that you're not part of the plan
You're like a Beach Whistle, fading out in the sand

Well, where did you come from? Baby, are you lost?
Looks like you were used up and someone dropped you off
It's sad to say that you're just not part of the plan
You're like a Beach Whistle, fading out in the sand

**Whistle on the Shore**

(Verse 1) Walking down the sandy path, feeling the sun's embrace
A gentle breeze whispers, guiding me to a sacred place
I hear a distant sound, as the ocean waves crash down
It's the melody of my soul, the beach whistle all around

(Chorus) Oh, whistle on the shore, carry me away
With your sweet notes, let my spirit play
In the rhythm of the tides, I find my peace of mind
Oh, whistle on the shore, forever you'll be mine

(Verse 2) As I stroll along the coast, barefoot in the warm sand
The whistle calls out to me, inviting me to take a stand
Under the azure sky, a symphony begins to grow
The seagulls join in harmony, dancing with a gentle flow

(Chorus) Oh, whistle on the shore, carry me away
With your sweet notes, let my spirit play
In the rhythm of the tides, I find my peace of mind
Oh, whistle on the shore, forever you'll be mine

(Bridge) The music paints a picture, of endless horizons and dreams
Whistling through the palms, like whispers in the sunbeams
In these precious moments, time seems to stand still
As the whistle's serenade, brings a sense of thrill

(Verse 3) The salty air embraces me, beneath the golden sun
With each whistle that sounds, a new journey has begun
I sing my heart out loud, matching the whistle's tune
As nature's orchestra surrounds me, under a gentle moon

(Chorus) Oh, whistle on the shore, carry me away
With your sweet notes, let my spirit play
In the rhythm of the tides, I find my peace of mind
Oh, whistle on the shore, forever you'll be mine

(Outro) Whistle on the shore, you're my solace and my muse
In your melodic embrace, I am never one to lose
Forever I'll remember, the magic that you bring
Oh, whistle on the shore, the melody that makes me sing
 

I understand why 18 year olds that want to be pop stars use this: it's on par with a Taylor Swift song.  Artificial but not very intelligent.

Next to be tried was 2009's Blind Date.  It's about the time I went on a literal blind date, as in she was blind. 

Song: Blind Date

Blind Date

Well, I'll get out of the shower and I'll towel off
I'd better double check and look at the clock
How it'll go, I can only guess
And I don't know what to expect

Because it's already 9 and I'm going on a Blind Date
I don't usually mind going on a Blind Date

One thing I thought was a little odd
She used a cane and brought her dog
She knocked over a chair and almost fell
This place is a dump but she can't tell

Because I don't usually mind going on a Blind Date
Because it's usually a sign going on a Blind Date

It's all over and I had my fun
But there won't be another one
That didn't stop her from asking me
Just like her, I can't see it happening

Because it's usually a sign going on a blind date
Because I don't usually mind going on a blind date
I don't know what I'll find going on a Blind Date
I don't usually mind going on a blind date

**Spark of Serendipity**

Verse 1: (Oh, yeah!) I found myself lookin' in the mirror,
Tie askew, trying to quell old fears,
Tonight's the night, gonna take a leap,
Blind date ahead, my heart starts to seep.

Pre-Chorus: (Oh, oh, oh) Caught in the daze of anticipation,
Wonderin' who I'll meet, what's their station,
Could it be a heavenly twist of fate?
Or just another loveless escapade?

Chorus: (Blind date, oh, blind date)
A whirlwind romance where destinies collide,
(Blind date, oh, blind date)
In the realm of sparks, together we'll ride,
(Blind date, oh, blind date)
A rendezvous, where magic's in the air,
(Blind date, oh, blind date)
We'll dance through the night, with hearts laid bare.

Verse 2: (Oh, yeah!) I step into the room, nerves in high gear,
Searching for a smile that'll make me cheer,
Eyes meet, hearts race, souls intertwine,
A flicker of hope ignites, in that time.

Pre-Chorus: (Oh, oh, oh) A serendipitous connection, so rare,
Every word spoken, like a tender prayer,
Could it be the journey I've been waitin' for?
Or just fleeting love, vanishing to the core?

Chorus: (Blind date, oh, blind date)
A whirlwind romance where destinies collide,
(Blind date, oh, blind date)
In the realm of sparks, together we'll ride,
(Blind date, oh, blind date)
A rendezvous, where magic's in the air,
(Blind date, oh, blind date)
We'll dance through the night, with hearts laid bare.

Bridge: (Oh, oh, oh) We laugh, we share, we learn as time goes by,
Every moment's a treasure, no reason to ask why,
With every touch, a universe awakens,
All doubts and inhibitions simply shaken.

Chorus: (Blind date, oh, blind date)
A whirlwind romance where destinies collide,
(Blind date, oh, blind date)
In the realm of sparks, together we'll ride,
(Blind date, oh, blind date)
A rendezvous, where magic's in the air,
(Blind date, oh, blind date)
We'll dance through the night, with hearts laid bare.

Outro: (Oh, yeah!) In this serendipitous dance, love embraces tight,
A blind date that led us to this wondrous height,
Hold on, my love, let our spirits unite,
In the cosmic symphony, let's share this starry night.

Sigh.  If you've ever used the word Destiny or Journey in your song lyrics, put the pen down and don't pick it up again.  And not one mention of blind people.  That's not very inclusive of A.I.  It must be some White Supremist/BLM A.I. or something. 

Last, is one of my favourite sets of lyrics I've come up with and they're for a song called Get Out; it's about that time where I moved into a haunted house (lots of Amityville Horror references). I searched for "moving into a haunted house"

Song: Get Out


My Lyrics
 

Ai Generated Lyrics
 

Get Out

Six days ago, I moved in
I don't know where to begin
I can't sleep, I'm always cold
I wake up and the sheets are soaked
The lights don't work, The taps drip mud
All of the shower heads leaking blood
I got it cheap, a real good buy
and now I know the reason why

Get Out - I hear the voices tell me
Get Out - I hear the voices tell me

Six days ago, I moved in
and I hope that it all ends
Friends come by but they don't stay
They're telling their friends to stay away
Flies fill the room, rats in the attic
I'd use the phone but it's all static
Now I know why it was so cheap
But no one bothered to warn me

Get Out - I hear the voices tell me
Get Out - I hear the voices tell me
Get Out - I hear the voices tell me
Get Out - I hear the voices tell me

**Eerie Echoes**

Verse 1: I packed up my life, started anew
Into a haunted house, it's all I knew
Mysterious shadows dancing on the wall
Whispered secrets, I couldn't ignore their call

Pre-Chorus: In the dead of night, I feel the chill
Haunted memories, echoes linger still
But I won't run away, I won't hide
I'll embrace the darkness, side by side

Chorus: In this haunted house, I'll make my stand
Captured by its spell, I'll roam the land
Eerie echoes guiding me, a symphony of fear
In this haunted house, I find solace here

Verse 2: The creaking floorboards in rhythm with my heartbeat
Whispers in the wind, oh, they're so sweet
Searching for the truth, in every shadow's tale
Lost in a realm where reality pales

Pre-Chorus: In the dead of night, I feel the thrill
Haunted melodies, they give me a thrill
I won't surrender to the spirits' might
I'll keep on exploring, under moonlight

Chorus: In this haunted house, I'll make my stand
Captured by its spell, I'll roam the land
Eerie echoes guiding me, a symphony of fear
In this haunted house, I find solace here

Bridge: I dance with the ghosts, through the halls we twirl
Unseen hands guide me, in this mystical world
They whisper secrets of forgotten days
In this haunted bliss, I'm forever amazed

Chorus: In this haunted house, I'll make my stand
Captured by its spell, I'll roam the land
Eerie echoes guiding me, a symphony of fear
In this haunted house, I find solace here

Outro: In this haunting paradise, I'll forever reside
Embracing the darkness, with nothing to hide
Eerie echoes become my guiding light
In this haunted house, I'll dance through the night 

WTF?  Who moves into a haunted house and likes it?  And another sign you're just not good at lyrics: you use the word "guide" as in "you'll be my guide".

If coming up with lyrics was my day job, I wouldn't be hitting the classifieds any time soon.  I can see this being useful for New Country writers or Hip Hoppers.  Their tunes are second rate so AI lyrics fit it perfectly.

Looks like my days of a pot of coffee and pen & paper aren't going anywhere soon.
