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.

Under the Bridge by rhcp?

Some of these are really good guesses and I'm agonizing over the answer!

[–] ParabolicMotion 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nope! Nice guess, though! I wish I could post the answer right now. There are a lot of good guesses.

Without giving too much of a hint, can you explain the context of why you say "good guess" to only some of the answers? Is it because they're close or because you like the song?

[–] ParabolicMotion 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If the lyrics have a piece of them that I have heard, which reminds me of the scene, I tend to say, “good guess”. If it isn’t a song I’ve heard recently, and I’m a little fuzzy on the lyrics, I tend to just say, “no”.

Oof, I give up! I excitedly await your reveal!!!

[–] ParabolicMotion 2 points 2 months ago

If it helps, think of thrash metal songs.

Through glass - Stone Sour?

[–] ParabolicMotion 2 points 2 months ago

No, but I love that song. Good guess!

Another brick in the wall?

[–] ParabolicMotion 2 points 2 months ago

No, but good guess.

Nope. Think thrash metal.

[–] ParabolicMotion 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was Primal Concrete Sledge, by Pantera. Thanks, everyone, for the good guesses.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh man! I didn't even consider Pantera! Is this an image you got using the prompt "primal concrete sledge" or do you use a description of the song?

Got it, thank you!

Burning down the house - Talking Heads

[–] ParabolicMotion 1 points 2 months ago

Nope. Think about the way the walls look and think of thrash metal songs.

Standing in the ruins, Kay Star?

[–] ParabolicMotion 2 points 2 months ago

No. I’ve actually never heard of that song. The title sounds like it would pair well.

Sorry for the multi-post. My mobile app went nuts.

[–] ParabolicMotion 2 points 2 months ago

That’s okay. It’s not House of the Rising Sun.
