There are people who make charts/graphs/diagrams of music lyric/title representations.  I think this is cool because it requires the interest of small subset of people who listen to popular music and enjoy graphing.  There is a Flickr set here (there are a few really great ones and many that are just people putting song lyrics on an arbitrary graph but the good ones are good enough to warrant the mindless clicking).

Can you believe that some people got paid to make this? I would have paid to help

The site is a bit annoying, but check it out here
I highly suggest getting past the annoying layout. You give it a short musical phrase on a piano and then they create a musical piece based off of that and you watch it all happen live. Very cool, almost makes me want to drink Vodka?

Here is my attempt at music, I am sure others will easily be able to top it

A very cool concept for a game and proves that there is still a place for innovation in game play not just graphics quality.  I don’t want to give any strategy away so give it a try and just click around (after you get the concept down see if you can get all the points).

Someone went to the trouble of teasing apart David Lee Roth’s vocal track from Van Halen’s ‘Running with the Devil’. The result is something that should be enjoyed in the season of American Idol. It is impressive to me how well Roth can actually sing (during the 20 seconds in the song when it is called for) and how a rock song should never be sung without a band EVER.

Here is the link

Of course this has been used in various mashups. My favorite, although admittedly purely Middle School Humor, is this one (don’t judge me).
