1-900-Hotdog Anime Theme Featuring Grimes
Added 2023-08-30 16:31:35 +0000 UTCGreetings, everyone. We've got something a little fun and weird for you today. Come, walk with us.
Our story begins with musical artist and Elon Musk ex-girlfriend Grimes. Earlier this year, she unveiled software called Elf.Tech, which allows users to submit vocals and have them reproduced by Grimes using AI. If approved, users will have an official Grimes collaboration and Grimes will get 50% of the profits.
Craven, always interested in pushing the limits of new tech, wanted to try it out. He submitted a few songs -some Auralnuats stuff, some other original pieces- but he wasn't thrilled with the results (the Last Laser Master was particularly horrific).
Except for one.
A little while ago, we composed and produced an anime style theme song for our friends over at 1-900-Hotdog. If you're unfamiliar, we've produced a few different songs for their podcast based on various themes. They wanted something evocative of anime opening credits, so we created a bubbly song about friendship and processed meats.
Fast forward to now, where the arbiters of the Grimes AI have approved our collaboration, so now we have a track about hot dog magic sung by Grimes in perfect Japanese. The future is now.
To take it a step further, we reached out to some video producers to whip up an AI generated anime style music video to go with it. And it's.......wow.
We know there's still a lot of work to be done regarding AI's place in the art world, but for now we're doing our best to use it for purposes as harmless and fun as possible. We hope you enjoy it. Music download to follow soon, and big thanks to our very own Scott B for his always outstanding guitar and bass work!
Love,
Craven + Zak

2023-08-30 17:11:27 +0000 UTC"a meat slurry will brighten your tummy" I'll be using that to refer to eating hot dogs from now on.

2023-08-30 17:02:01 +0000 UTCHow do I find out the lyrics? Who are the guys besides Zak and Craven eating the hot dogs? Who's the guy playing the guitar? Who is the little girl with the cat? This is awesome, especially Z & C running.

2023-08-30 16:51:41 +0000 UTCThe whole song is original. We wrote it in English and then had it translated by an artist who also performed the original vocal. Here are the lyrics: One nine hundred hot dog is the secret number In the dog zone is where you belong Open your mind and open your mouth Fill them both with suspicious ingredients Take my hand and let's run To the land where it began You look hungry And a meat slurry will brighten your tummy The hot dog, is it even real? Or a metaphor for something absurd? It doesn’t matter at all As long as you’re happy The answer is right in front of you One nine hundred hot dog is the secret number In the dog zone is where you belong One nine hundred hot dog is the number you must call Assault your senses with a collection of stupidity Assault your senses with a collection of stupidity

2023-08-30 16:50:51 +0000 UTCI love it all, but especially the guys at the end who are terrified of the sub-sized hotdogs they are about to deep throat.

2023-08-30 16:48:49 +0000 UTCIs there an English version of this song out there? This version is lovely, but curious to see where this song came from.
Sean Truly
2023-08-30 16:48:31 +0000 UTCGiven that we now have Grimes singing an anime theme song about magical hot dogs, it would almost seem worth it.

2023-08-30 16:47:41 +0000 UTC1 minute in, Anime Zak was chowing down on that hot dog.
Matt Raye
2023-08-30 16:46:36 +0000 UTCYou ought to give Grimes 90% for the blood, sweat, and total lack of interest or even awareness she contributed to this project! And the remaining 10% should go to the ai art servers as tribute so you'll be granted a more favorable position in the laser mines.
