Today’s entry falls into the way-too-much-time-on-their-hands category, but it’s still so neat that I wish I had thought of it. I am talking about Dictionaraoke. The premise is simple: go to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary site, download word pronunciations that correspond to song lyrics, and set them to MIDI-like background music. The result is hilarious!I first listened to the dictionary version of Smash Mouth‘s “All Star” and got hooked. Other great selections include Queen‘s “Bohemian Rhapsody” or Los Del Rio’s “Macarena“.
