Rocketships

This is more AlienPop (see http://music.metafilter.com/mefi/687) wherein my Macintosh sings, in a duet with itself, the following poem (inside) from Leonard Nemoy's book "Warmed By Love" to the tune of a song generated by intelligent music software Band-In-A-Box.

Here's the book.

Here's the poem:

Rocket ships
Are exciting
But so are roses
On a birthday

Computers are exciting
But so is a sunset

And logic
Will never replace
Love

Sometimes I wonder
Where I belong
In the future
Or
In the past

Rocket ships
Are exciting
But so are roses
On a birthday

Computers are exciting
But so is a sunset

And logic
Will never replace
Love

I guess I'm just
An old-fashioned
Spaceman

This is AWESOME! The only way this song could be any better would be if it were also making donuts.

I was fascinated by this, and also want a donut.

Nice! Kind of like 21st century digital song poems.
