Let Them Sing It For You
Posted on 26. Oct, 2009 by Karri Wells.
Disclaimer: Only read this if you can waste the next half hour of your life devising creative messages to send to your friends.
Let Them Sing It For You, takes a message you type, pairs your words with those sang in popular songs, emails the note, then sings it back to the recipient. Your messages turn into Girl Talk-esque mash-ups.
It’s fun listening to the messages and trying to identify exactly where that particular word came from.
Keep in mind that you will see the best results if you use very basic common words. The database is still expanding. It looks like there are still some bugs to be worked out. When a message is sent to a friend your friend can’t see the text of the message, they can only hear the words. Regardless, the site is cool as hell.
Now go forth little wordsmiths! Create and Let Them Sing it For You!

Ok, so it’s not REALLY cardboard, just an uber high quality photographic print.
