This project involves creating instrumental Zydeco music. In the process, I wrote some lyrics and fed them into an A.I. platform to see what kind of music and singers it could spit back. The results were startling, based solely on my lyrics and a few strategic text prompts. (See lyrics in dropdown below).

Daba Daba Dooba (lyrics)

Verse 1

First thing in the mornin’ I be workin’ on music
I done made it a habit ’cause it’s so therapeutic
It might take a little while to get the brain cells bookin’
But then it’s Daba Daba Dooba and this keyboard’s a-cookin’

Verse 2

Don’t matter what the weather it could rain or sunshine
Once we get things started, swing or second line
Can take a red hot minute to get our clubhouse footin’…
But then it’s Daba Daba Dooba and the whole crowd’s a-cookin’

Chorus

Ba Daba Daba Dooba ba Daba Daba Dooba doo
Gonna swing my baby and do the boogaloo
If it’s Daba Daba Dooba or daba daba doo
It’s gonna be a Daba Daba Dooba, a Daba Daba Dooba doo

Verse 3

I got a five star honey, she got a first rate man
We’re tryin’ to make a little money in a Louisiana swamp band
Oh it can take a little while to get the horn parts hookin’
But when it’s Daba Daba Dooba oh this brass band’s a-cookin’

Chorus

Outro

It’s gonna be a Daba Daba Dooba a Daba Daba Dooba doo
