They'll do it your way

The site, an interactive sound-art project created by Swedish musician Erik Bünger, takes words that you input yourself and matches them with sound clips from popular musicians and songs.
Strung together, the results can be pretty hilarious, if not very musical.
Type in the word "I," for example, and you get the same word plucked from Isaak's song "Wicked Game." Type in "love" and you get Plant wailing on "Whole Lotta Love." We'll leave the rest to you.
