Last week I showed you the YouTube Channels that specialize in old-timey trailers for movies, all made using AI. This week, another AI setting, but this time, Obscure Songs from the Past.
I love Fallout 3 and 4, absolutely stunning video games, with a great story, lots of shooting and good old-fashioned fun. One thing I loved about Fallout 3 was the music. The game is set in the future, but after America had a nuclear war in the 1940s. This means there are mutant fire-breathing ants, but a classic jazz song from the past.
You might remember the trailer for Fallout 3 had the song I Don’t Want to Set The World On Fire by The Ink Spots. I have a couple of The Ink Spots albums and the albums for Fallout 3, 4 and New Vegas.
In that style, people have been using AI to create obscure old-time jazz songs, but with a twist.
Today we have ‘artists’ like Nikki Minge ‘singing’ about her naughty bits. Nothing like that happened in the 1940s, until now.
This was the first obscure song I found in this style, be warned, it’s NSFW.
Is it childish? Yes. Is it rude? Yes. Does it make me giggle like a kid? Yes, very much so.
I spat out tea listening to this, it’s the lyrics. Things like:
‘I need a tool that will hit my pancreas’.
It’s the style as well, it’s so classic jazz. You can imagine Billie Holiday, Frank, Deano, or anyone from that time singing a song like this.
It’s Not All Sex, Sex, Sex
There are many more like this, but one I have been singing a lot at work is this.
Again, a classic style, a trio of black singers and you can totally hear them singing it. Again, the lyrics:
“You want somethin’ for free, so you’re screaming like a child,
In that case let me get my belt out and see how fast that you get mild!”
There are so many of them, here’s another one of my favourites.
Another Rabbit Hole
There are loads of these obscure songs of the past, but I found SuS Records is very good, as is Almost Vinyl. I’m sure you’ll find more if you like them. I have them now as a soundtrack to my day while I’m working. They don’t all work, but there are some classics out there.
Be warned though, I found the ones I like, I sing a lot. I nearly started singing The Customer is Always F****** Wrong in front of a customer yesterday.
