Ding ding. That's the sound of my lyric writing machine being switched on. It's worked out alright in the end.
I've set it up so that you tap a word into a box, hit a button, then it goes off and tries to write a song about that subject.
The way it works:
It looks up the subject you typed in on Wikipedia. It grabs all the words from the main page about that subject on Wikipedia (so if your subject isn't on wikipedia it won't work).
It then ranks the words based on how many times they appear on the page, and lists them in reverse order of popularity (meaning you don't get a list consisting of "if", "and", "or" etc. which wouldn't be very inspiring. I'm pleased with it but will work on a follow up version which has a stab at sentence structure.

I've really enjoyed being involved with Record Time this time around and will definitely compose some music next time round. Now I'm off to finish off my track for Superheroes of Space.
