Wobbler - Plastic Pop (Plastic Fantastic)
Lyrics:
We live in a fake world, you and I,
but it's okay; it's a great lie.
A world of illusions, reality
obscured by fake pleasures.
Digital personas across the screen,
painting a version of ourselves
But behind the mask, we are lost,
Looking for a sense of belonging.
Ref:
Plastic fantastic, nothing is real
Elastic, bombastic, emotions we conceal
Plastic fantastic, nothing is real
Elastic, bombastic, emotions we conceal
=== Danko ===
Wir gehen zur disco jeder Nacht
Ich habe mein lederhosen hier
Im voll gallop, ja das ist schön!
Jawohl, mein baby, pudelschlacht!

Another plastic remix spinning 'round
Is that really what we needed?
A version with bleeps, bloops and eighties sound
Complete with a virtual singer
In a world where the new may steal the show
We find comfort in past glow
So let's celebrate the past and new
Uniting generations in an 8-bit deja vu.
Ref:
Plastic fantastic, nothing is real
Elastic, bombastic, emotions we conceal
Plastic fantastic, nothing is real
Elastic, bombastic, emotions we conceal

So, of course I had to try out this singing VSTi 'Synthesizer V'. And of course I asked ChatGPT for some lyrics (which I used as a base for my own addidions). Yes, some of the vocals sound good, and some of it does not. Luckily, there was some original danko-vox to add to it all …so yeah, hope that some people will find this remix fun to consume. I sure had fun creating it.

Wow.
There's so much to like about this remix, I don't even know where to begin. The lyrics is surprisingly deep (Another plastic remix spinning 'round / Is that really what we needed?
), the AI voice is pretty good, the inclusion of Danko's vocals is just brilliant. Even the AI generated cover art looks fantastic!
Sure, the AI voice sounds unnatural at times, but overall, I really value a) the fun nature of this song, b) that fact that you were not afraid to experiment with AI, and c) that the end result sounds really good.
Well done!

I heard this when it was published, probably forgot due to all the other things in life to cater to.
…then I attended the online stream from Bergen BIT Live 2023, and end game this popped out…
…now there is no denial. Okay then.
Wobbler, please appreciate the fact that there are well over a hundred remixes of Plasticpop.
This is one of the better ones, shy of Mordi. Thank you for your interpretation.
