Severely abridged version of this famous poem:

Music by Suno Monday: Rikki Tikki Tavi
I know the female vocalist is kind of a different choice, but just pretend that it’s Rikki’s ally, the female tailor-bird, singing: https://suno.com/song/9b369786-912d-41d6-aa94-9c456021ea54
Also none of the male versions that Suno generated really captured the menacing agility of Rikki the mongoose and Nag the cobra.
If you’re not familiar with the story, the Chuck Jones adaptation is pretty faithful, with word for word narration by Orson Welles, and can be viewed here: https://archive.org/details/rikkitikkitavi_201701
Music By Suno Monday: Beowulf and the Dragon
I used an excerpt from some verse translation on gutenberg as the lyrics.
Musical Monday: Harry Potter Redneck Wizard
This seems to be a purely or nearly purely AI construct, with human prompting and editing, but I thought it pretty amusing.
Music By Suno Monday: El Dorado by Edgar Poe
Music by Suno Monday: Gods of the Copybook Headings

For those concerned about the misuses of LLMs, aka AIs, it’s worth noting that Suno will literally block you from using artists names in prompts, and this Kipling poem is to the best of my knowledge in the public domain.
Weird Wednesday: Prisencolinensinainciusol
Okay, from a certain point of view, this should be kind of disturbing: an Italian singer, father of the actress who played the devil in Passion of the Christ, is practicing Babel-style confusion of tongues while his grimaces, imposing teeth and bad hair make him look a bit like Henry Blake, Sir Christopher Lee’s Hyde-style persona from I Monster.
But really, it’s just a fun parody of American style pop songs done with nonsense lyrics. Enjoy!
