Language Follies 29 (Food and Thought)

Music, Maestro, Please


Lyrics of an AI-generated music video:


Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump (Trump!)

Everywhere I go, they love Donald Donald Trump

Down in Mexico, they love Donald Donald Trump (Trump!)

Flew to Italy, they love Donald Donald Trump (Donald, Donald Trump!)

In the Middle East, they love Donald Donald Trump (Trump!)

Met some Africans, they love Donald Donald Trump (Trump!)

Even in China, they love Donald Donald Trump (Trump!)

Man, these Indians, they love Donald, Donald Trump (Donald, Donald Trump!)

Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump (Trump!)

Everywhere I go, they love Donald Donald Trump (Trump!)

Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump (Trump!)

Everywhere I go, they love Donald Donald Trump (Donald, Donald Trump!)

Man, I gotta say, I love Donald Donald Trump (Trump!)

Might be president one day, just like Donald, Donald Trump (Just like Donald Trump!)

“The White House”—Lyrics generated by drnormalvision (to the tune of “Home on the Range”:


Home of deranged

Where fear and conspiracy play

Where seldom is heard

An encouraging word

For what do conspiracists say?
