First Date
The Melody of Parody
I wrote this thinking it would be a fun song. However, I can’t sing.
AI can sing, but still produces mostly subpar music, and VERY cruddy duets. Trust me, I went down a rabbit hole at 1am, trying to get AI to sing this. I managed to create a decent version with just one voice.
If you want to hear the best AI version I managed, you can listen here for free:

If you’d rather not, no worries. I’ve slightly remade it into a “duet-poem” about the first date of two self-unaware narcissists.
Hey
Nice to meet you
Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I live with my parents and don't pay rent, but totally stand up against entitlement.
How about you boy?
Hey, Well you know…
My dad was a jerk with zero EQ
Overcompensation is key
And my mom did it well
She made it her goal to teach me to feel
All my feelings are valid
I learned very well
One lesson not learned is that others feel too
Now I’m a sensitive narcissist, that’ll shit over you.
What about you girl?
Boy,
Self improvement's my goal.
I totally learn.
I've got all the psych. memes.
And no ability to discern.
You should so love yourself for who you are.
Uhm. Excuse me,
Hold on a sec. I need my 15 layers of makeup before I get in the car.
While I do that,
Tell me more boy.
My mom gave me everything my dad never did
She never said no
I never said please
She thought it’d make me a wonderful man
Nothing like my dad
Nothing like him
Really?
Cause now I see women
As here at my whim
Not chopped
So pretty
I go to the gym
Looking for a girl, who’s there at my whim.
So, What do you think girl?
Self confidence.
OMG yes.
FYI. I don't learn from failure.
I handle only success.
If you ask me to look at it
from a different perspective
I’ll tell you you’re shaming me
Emotional gaslighting
It’s very effective
Don’t you agree boy?
Well, girl
That won’t work
You can’t tell me my drama isn't a trauma.
Every stumble is a slash to my ego
I don't have the EQ to take.
So I need you to worship
I need you to agree
Every issue I stand for
Is about me
Me
Me
Boy,
It won’t work.
And it’s not about me. It’s all about you.
If you tell me to change I'll fly in a rage.
I'll trash you and cancel you, but I'm super accepting.
You can't disagree with me.
Is that so wrong?
My opinions are dogma.
And so is this song.
