Due to weather and other factors, occasionally we had some down time at BTTI. I’ve recently become obsessed with the AI GPT Chat Bot, so I decided to spend the time having it write me various songs about various topics and it got to be so many I decided to “release an EP”. You probably had to be there… but here is BTTI 2023, in song. (It’s probably actually more like an album)
Prompt: Can you write a song in the style of Hanson
Reason: Waiting out the rain
I wake up ever morning
Feeling the sun on my face
I know that everything’s gonna be alright

Making music, feeling free
We’re Hanson, we’re unstoppable
Together we can conquer it all
We’ve been through so much together
But we always find a way
We’re unstoppable, we’re unbreakable
We’re always gonna stand tall
We’re Hanson, we’re a family
Making music, feeling free
We’re Hanson, we’re unstoppable
Together we can conquer it all
We’ve had our ups and downs
But we always come back around
Cause we know that we belong together
We’re a family forever
We’re Hanson, we’re a family
Making music, feeling free
We’re Hanson, we’re unstoppable
Together we can conquer it all
Prompt: Write a Hanson song called “Waves and Squirrels”
Reason: Waiting out the rain storm
I wake up to the sound of waves crashing on the shore
I throw on my clothes and run out the door
I see the sun rising up in the sky
And my worries just melt away, oh why
Oh, the waves and the squirrels
They bring me so much joy
I can’t help but dance and sing
When I’m surrounded by their noise
I spend my days running through the sand
The ocean breeze running through my hand
I see the squirrels climbing up the trees
And all my troubles just disappear, oh please
Oh, the waves and the squirrels
They bring me so much joy
I can’t help but dance and sing
When I’m surrounded by their noise
Sometimes life gets tough and I don’t know what to do
But when I’m near the waves and squirrels, everything feels brand new
I let go of my worries and just let it be
Because the waves and the squirrels are all I need
Oh, the waves and the squirrels
They bring me so much joy
I can’t help but dance and sing
When I’m surrounded by their noise
Prompt: Write a Hanson song using ‘love’, ‘island’, ‘stronger’ and ‘mmmbop’
Reason: We were waiting out a rain storm
Love, it’s a feeling that I can’t ignore
On this island, we’re never alone
Together we’re stronger than we’ve ever known
MMMBop, MMMBop, feeling so alive
MMMBop, MMMBop, our love will never die
We’re free to be ourselves on this island paradise
Our love is stronger than the waves and the tides
We’ll dance and sing under the stars all night
MMMBop, MMMBop, feeling so alive
MMMBop, MMMBop, our love will never die
We don’t need anything else, just you and I
On our island our love will never die
We’ll be happy and free, forever young

MMMBop, MMMBop, feeling so alive
MMMBop, MMMBop, our love will never die
Prompt: Can you write a song about where Yelena left her stuff
Reason: Yelena is always losing things
Yelena’s always on the go
She’s always in a hurry, you know
But sometimes she forgets just where she’s been
Her stuff gets left behind and now we’re wondering where it’s been
Where did Yelena leave her stuff?
The bed hole, Katie’s hand, the cooler
We can’t find it, oh no
Where did Yelena leave her stuff
We searched high and we searched low
But no signs of her things, where did they go?
Did she leave them at the park?
Or did she lend them to a friend in the dark?
Where did Yelena leave her stuff?
The bed hole, Katie’s hand, the cooler
We can’t find it, oh no
Where did Yelena leave her stuff
Maybe she left them at the store
Or perhaps she left them at the shore
But wherever they may be
We hope to find them eventually
Where did Yelena leave her stuff?
The bed hole, Katie’s hand, the cooler
We can’t find it, oh no
Where did Yelena leave her stuff
Prompt: Write a song about the safe being fixed
Reason: The safe needed a new battery
There was a safe, it was old and gray
It didn’t work, it wouldn’t open, no matter what we’d say
We tried and tried, but it just wouldn’t budge
We were worried, we had to find a fix, we couldn’t judge
The safe is fixed, the safe is fixed
No more worries, no more mixed
We can breathe easy our troubles are done
The safe is fixed, we’re having fun
We called a locksmith, we knew he was the man
He came right over, with his toolbox in hand
He worked and worked, and finally with a twist
The safe was open, we couldn’t resist
The safe is fixed, the safe is fixed
No more worries, no more mixed
We can breathe easy our troubles are done
The safe is fixed, we’re having fun
We’re so grateful, we could dance and sing
Thanks to the locksmith, our worries are things of the past
We can move on, our troubles are gone
The safe is fixed, we’re having fun
The safe is fixed, the safe is fixed
No more worries, no more mixed

Prompt: Write a reggae song about Back to the Island
Reason: We were bored.
I’ve been away too long, out here in the cold
But my heart belongs back on the island, where the days are gold
I miss the sun on my face, the sand between my toes
The sound of waves crashing, the way palm trees sway
Oh, take me back to the island
Where the living is easy and the love is strong
Where the days are long and the nights are sweet
Back to the island, where my soul is complete
I remember the days of playing hooky from school
Hiking through the jungle, swimming in the cool
Crystal clear waters, diving for pearls
Life was a treasure, back on the island, it was the world
Oh, take me back to the island
Where the living is easy and the love is strong
Where the days are long and the nights are sweet
Back to the island, where my soul is complete
I miss the way the sun sets, painting the red sky
I miss the way the air smells, fresh and tropical
I miss the way the music sounds, the heartbeat of the land
I miss the way the people love, with open hearts and open hands
Oh, take me back to the island
Where the living is easy and the love is strong
Where the days are long and the nights are sweet
Back to the island, where my soul is complete
Prompt: Write a song about hitting the 57
Reason: Zac tried writing a song during games about hitting the 57 on ketchup bottles so we decided to see if the chat bot would be any better. It seems like it thinks “the 57” is a road though
I’m on the road, heading west
The sun is setting in the sky
I’ve got a feeling deep inside
That today’s the day I’ll hit the 57
Hitting the 57, oh what a thrill
Feeling alive, I’m on top of the world
Gonna ride this wave, all the way to the end
Hitting the 57, it’s my lucky day
I’m in the zone, I can feel it now
My hands are steady on the wheel
I’ve got the wind in my hair
As I’m cruising down the open road
Hitting the 57, oh what a rush
Feeling so free, it’s just me an the dust
Gonna push it to the limit, I won’t hold back
Hitting the 57, it’s my time to shine
I’ve been waiting for this moment, it’s finally here
I’m gonna make it count, I won’t have any fear
I’m living the thrill, of hitting the 57
Hitting the 57, oh what a ride
Feeling alive, I’ve got nothing to hide
Gonna keep on going, till I reach the end
Hitting the 57, I won’t look back again
Prompt: Write a song about a fish jumping into a bathing suit (I had previously asked it to write about jumping into boobs, but it deemed that inappropriate and I think this one is the best case of AI just not fully understanding the ask)
Reason: A fish jumped into my friends cleavage while she was lounging in the ocean reading her book and minding her own business
There once was a fish so bright and bold
He lived in the sea, a story yet untold
But one day he got a strange idea in his head
He wanted to see what the humans did in bed
So he put on a bathing suit and jumped out of the sea
He wiggled and waggled, he was so free
The humans saw him and they all gasped with glee
The fish in a bathing suit, they couldn’t believe their eyes
He swam in the pool and he played with the kids
He splashed and he danced, he had so much fun
He even learned to do a cannonball
But little did he know, his fate was about to fall
So he put on a bathing suit and jumped out of the sea
He wiggled and waggled, he was so free
The humans saw him and they all gasped with glee
The fish in a bathing suit, they couldn’t believe their eyes
But as the day turned to night, the fish felt a sudden fright
He saw a group of humans, oh what a sight
They were all wearing bikinis, with boobies so round
The fish didn’t stand a chance, he was doomed to drown
So he put on a bathing suit and jumped out of the sea
He wiggled and waggled, he was so free
The humans saw him and they all gasped with glee
The fish in a bathing suit, they couldn’t believe their eyes
The fish may have drowned, but his legacy lives on
He inspired other fish to be brave and strong
So if you see a fish in a bathing suit, don’t be surprised
He’s just living his dream, under the sunny skies
Prompt: Write a song about hugging the shit out of someone
Reason: I don’t remember. It must’ve been something a Hanson said.
I’ve been waiting for this moment
To wrap my arms around you
I wanna hold you tight and never let go
Cause darling, I need you
I wanna hug the shit out of you
I wanna feel your body pressed against mine
I wanna hold you close and never let go
Cause darling, you’re one of a kind
I know we’ve been through some tough times
But when I’m with you, everything feels right
I wanna show you how much you mean to me
Cause darling, you light up my life
So let’s forget about the world outside
And just focus on each other tonight
Cause when I’m in your arms, everything is alright
I wanna hug the shit out of you
I wanna feel your body pressed against mine
I wanna hold you close and never let go
Cause darling, you’re one of a kind
