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.

This post was solved by @lemonmelon, the song is "Paul Revere" (1986) by the Beastie Boys.

Don't forget the clues, friends! The first clue I provided was that this song wasn't released in the 90s and then got several guesses afterward that were all songs from the 90s. I've only got a few more posts left before I take my leave, it's been fun but I'm usually not on often enough to keep up, so make sure to peep those clues on my final posts!

Regulate - Warren G ft Nate Dogg

A really great guess, definitely similarities, but unfortunately not the song. Here's a hint: your song peaked in the Top Ten for the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Billboard weekly charts, my song didn't chart in the Top Ten for that category but did chart in the Top 50.

Hell, I doubt it's right, but old town road is not totally insane as a guess, so that's mine

A great guess that I was actually expecting sooner, but unfortunately not the right song! Here's a hint: both of our songs have four people listed as the songwriters.

Excellent guess, but unfortunately not the same song! Here's a hint: your song features some truly fantastic verses from female rappers, my song does not.

Paul Revere - Beastie Boys

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Correct! That's the song, you're the winner, and this has been the story of three bad brothers and a little horsey named Paul Revere!

"Wild Wild West" by Will Smith?

A good guess, but unfortunately not the song. Here's a hint: your song was commissioned for a movie soundtrack, my song was not.

I Wanna Be A Cowboy - Boys Don't Cry

I kinda want to know the tiny horse is called Trigger.

Unfortunately not the right song, but, while the horse here is not the famous Western star Trigger, the horse's name is important to the song! Another clue: the song is in the Hip-Hop genre.
