From YouTube: The Weird Algorithm - GitHub Satellite 2020
Description
The Weird Algorithm is a program that creates KARAOKE MASHUPS by
replacing the lyrics to a SONG with matching lines from a specific
SOURCE TEXT. For example: 'I Want It That Way' with replacement lines
from Mean Girls, or 'Mr. Brightside' with lines from Craigslist ads. In
this session, we will combine songs and texts based on audience requests
and then sing the generated results live.
Jamie Brew is a writer and software engineer living in Seattle. He runs
the creative technology group Botnik and was previously a writer and
editor at The Onion and Clickhole.
GitHub Satellite: A community connected by code
On May 6th, we threw a free virtual event featuring developers working together on the world’s software, announcements from the GitHub team, and inspiring performances by artists who code.

That's
yesterday,
with
new
lyrics
from
yelp
reviews
of
psychics,
so
this
is
the
game
we're
playing
every
time
with
the
weird
algorithm,
we're
taking
a
song
that
we
know
and
finding
lines
that
are
compatible
with
the
same
syllable
pattern
and
rhyme
scheme
from
the
original
song
as
best
as
we
can.
So,
let's
run
it
again,
and
one
of
the
points
I
want
to
show
here
is
that
by
switching
the
source
text
and
keeping
the
same
algorithm,
we
can
get
wildly
different
results.
So
for
the
second
one
I'm
going
to
choose.
A
C
The
devices
you
use,
despite
this
limitation,
if
one
is
provided
discomfort
or
restraint
if
you
comply
with
these
terms,
those
points
will
be
forfeited.
Skype
makes
no
guarantees
state
or
federal

if
your

must

Those
terms
also
apply
availability
or
any
part
of
them,
unfair
competition
and
with
any
right
to
and
our
affiliates,
creating
an
account
if
we
choose.
C
C
Either
express
or
imply
it
and
to
develop
new
ones
on
behalf
of
itself
or
for
breach
of
these
terms
gives
no
express
warrants
fees,
jerking
or
shaking
of
limbs.
Information
received,
but
not
limited
to
your
microsoft
account
and
as
available
by
way
of
using
example,
substitution
of
feedback,
should
it
proved
effective
government
officials
and
changes
to
these
terms.
By
agreeing
to
these
terms,
microsoft
services,
please
read
them.
A
And
that's
mr
brightside,
with
a
lot
of
lyrics
about
services
from
a
collection
of
tech
company
terms
of
service
from
some
of
the
big
four.
So
one
thing
about
this
program
is:
every
time
we
run
it.
It
will
be
yielding
something
different
because
it's
got
some
randomness
built
into
the
choice
of
which
of
the
many
lines
that
could
fit
a
particular
line.
A
We
actually
choose.
So
we
could
run
that
again
and
get
something
different.
We
could
also
try
loading
in
a
completely
new
song
or
a
new
source
text
and
and
running
it
to
get
a
song
that
we've
never
heard
before.
So
I
took
some
suggestions
before
this
act
and
got
the
suggestion
of
the
big
lebowski
loading
in
the
script
for
the
big
lebowski.
A
So
let's
put
this
in
a
text
file
and
if
we
want
to
just
get
the
lines
from
the
big
lebowski,
then
we
can
do
a
little
bit
of
custom
text
cleaning.
So
we
can
see
let's
eliminate
lines
that
have
four
tabs
at
the
start
by
finding
all
of
those
in
sublime
text
bringing
through,
and
we
can
also
pull
out
all
the
lines
that
have
two
tabs
at
the
start.
A
A
A
C
C
C
C
B
C
A
And
we're
going
to
load
these
into
the
other
module
with
this
program
where
we're
collecting,
not
source
texts
but
songs,
we
can
make
a
new
text
file
for
shallow
and
we
can
just
go
through
and
make
sure
the
line
breaks
over
all
right.
We
want
to
split
up
any
lines
so
that
they
are
separately
searched
for
and
do
that
here,
like
these
lines
easier
if
they
are
shorter,.
A
A
A
C
A
A
Let's
see,
one
of
the
other
things
we
can
do
with
this
program
is
discover
the
lyrics
to
songs
that
don't
have
lyrics.
So
we
can
take
an
instrumental
or
orchestral
piece
like
the
main
theme
for
star
wars
and
search
for
lines
that
have
the
same
competition
and
we
can
annotate
the
stresses
so
that
we
can
also
search
for
what
feels
like
it
has
the
right
stress
pattern.
So,
let's
do
star
wars
and
let's
replace
that
with
jeopardy
categories.

Okay,
I
think
that
means
we're
ready
to
go
now
that
you've
seen
the
ascii
art
we
can
move
it
back
to
a
convenient
size,
and
with
that
with
this
one,
I'm
going
to
leave
you
on
total
eclipse
of
the
heart.
So
this
has
been
the
weird
algorithm,
I'm
jamie,
brew
and
someday.
I
hope
to
see
you
in
a
cafe
or
a
live
performance
space
of
some
sort
to
do
this
together.
C
Around
all
year
round,
additional
pickup
payment
might
be
required.
We
have
the
invoices
for
the
repairs
check
around.
I
did
a
transmission
service
and
ac
service
standard

Messaging
rates
may
apply,
keep
around
the
current
birth
perfectly
and
there
we've
been
modified
fully
loaded

midsize,
because.

Further

repainted

its
original
color
the

clean
and
clear.
In

the
