“We Didn’t Start The Fire” by BILLY JOEL FEATURING JAY-Z

This COVID-19 has sure changed everything. Time moves differently now, which is just the nice way of saying that time has become irrelevant. 

During the quarantine, I discovered this on the YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRt-fquxnij9wDnFJnpPS2Q.

The voice in this mash up/remix was entirely computer-generated using text-to-speech models trained on the speech patterns of Jay-Z, the rapper and not the island. For more information, see: https://ai.googleblog.com/2017/12/tacotron-2-generating-human-like-speech.html.

He’s a greedy fuck face who has no compunction raping the world with his tiny hands that have never seen a day’s work. Ask anyone, he is a renowned bed wetter.

By the way, all known bed wetters.
