ELON — The Musical (Part One)

Brain Storm is a demo track from Elon The Musical — an opera house on Elon Musk, whose libretto is not written but sampled. His voice, his words, cut into a song.

Lyrics

Musk's answers, cut and rearranged into the vocal line. Nothing added — his voice, his words.

MP3
BRAIN STORM I think so There are times When I have a negative chemical state in my brain Like depression I guess It's like a brain storm And ketamine is helpful for getting one out of a negative frame of mind A small amount Once every other week If you use too much ketamine you can't really get work done So I have a lot of work Maybe this is something that can help other people That's why I mentioned it

Your turn

Loop it, chop it, stretch it, pitch it. Repeat any phrase as many times as you want; fragment a line for emphasis.

Do not recombine words into a new statement. If a cut changes the meaning of a sentence, it is off limits.
