Let Them Sing it For You
"By typing in a text of any kind you can get it sung for you by some of the world's great-est pop stars. A database of sung words has been built up and is supposed to be gradually growing through the users' own interaction. If you find a word missing in our sound vocabulary, just tell us, and we will extract the word from a song of your choice, and add it to our database."
It's called "LET THEM SING IT FOR YOU." And it kinda really works (1400 words worth). It's kinda fun to hear those one-word-song-snippets. And you can even email your song-collage to everybody.
And I was thinking how this kind of Internet-enabled play taps into the collective semi-conscious, growing in usefulness with use, so to speak, becoming more fun as more people have fun with it. Cool.
