There’s too much fun to be had with the Alanis Morissette Lyric Generator<\/a>, a virtual ‘Mad Libs’ for the adult-contemporary crowd. Here’s just one generated lyric from my suggested nouns and names:<\/p>\n

\n

“Will to Live”<\/b><\/p>\n

I feel miserable
\nSTRUCTURAL DEFICITS make me ill
\nI feel miserable
\nGRANT GUIDELINES tear at my foundations
\nI feel miserable
\nINFLUENTIAL DONORS are dragging me down to the depths of misery
\nI want to die<\/p>\n

Is it because of FIXED OVERHEAD EXPENSES that I feel this way?
\nWith the GOLDENROD rays of misery pounding on my brain?
\nOr am I lost in tale of BECKETT, adrift far from home
\nI don’t think so, I don’t think so.<\/p>\n

THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD Broke My Will to Live
\nTHE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD Broke My Will to Live
\nTHE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD Broke My Will to Live
\nI was getting better but then
\nTHE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD Broke My Will to Live<\/p>\n

I feel miserable
\nOPERATING GRANT APPLICATIONS rot the flesh from my bones
\nI feel miserable
\nOUTCOME EVALUATIONS defeat my purpose
\nI feel miserable
\nAVERSIONS TO RISK are doing their best to impale my soul
\nI want to die<\/p>\n

Is it because of FIXED OVERHEAD EXPENSES that I feel this way?
\nWith the GOLDENROD rays of misery pounding on my brain?
\nAm I lost in tale of BECKETT, adrift far from home
\nI don’t think so, I don’t think so.<\/p>\n

THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD Broke My Will to Live
\nTHE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD Broke My Will to Live
\nOh God, THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD Broke My Will to Live
\nI was getting better but then
\nTHE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD Broke My Will to Live<\/p>\n

\n

Now, if only someone would come up with an automatic grant application generator, we’d be getting somewhere.<\/p>\n

UPDATE OF 7\/22\/05: A commenter to this post referenced a research-paper generator that had created a controversy when one of its fake papers was accepted for a conference presentation. This may be the generator<\/a> and the results she was talking about. Fairly funny stuff if you watch the videos or read the computer-generated research papers.
