Slop-A-Tronics 9000 – Revisiting La-La Hoo-Di-Di

Posted on September 20, 2026 by Jeremy Ray

I’m going to see what I can do with this one. It’s not the most popular overall, judging by bandwidth – “Boom Boom Out the Speaker” is – but La-La is only 2/3’s the file size and hasn’t been posted for as long, and it’s been leading lately. The vocal sounds like Stuka. Doesn’t it seem like Stuka could be singing it here?

Here are the lyrics the A.I. came up with –

Lyrics

[Intro]

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm oh-oh

[Verse 1]

No ni-no ni-no

Ya ba-la ta-ka

Ride the wave then flip it back

She say brr-brr-la

[Pre-Chorus]

Ri-da-di-da

Coming through the static

Ri-da-di-da

Bright and loud and dramatic

[Chorus]

Sko-ba sko-ba-ra

Don’t you catch me now

Sko-ba sko-ba-ra

Sass is all I know

Sko-ba sko-ba-ra-ra

[Verse 2]

Te-na ta-na to

Wanna try my luck

Overdrive a melody

Break it then pick it up

[Pre-Chorus]

Ri-da-di-da

Echo off the ceiling

Ri-da-di-da

Every bolt I’m stealing

[Chorus]

Sko-ba sko-ba-ra

Don’t you catch me now

Sko-ba sko-ba-ra

Sass is all I know

Sko-ba sko-ba-ra-ra

[Bridge]

La-la hoo-di-di

Nobody can slow my glide

La-la hoo-di-di

Sunshine on my side

[Chorus]

Sko-ba sko-ba-ra

Don’t you catch me now

Sko-ba sko-ba-ra

Sass is all I know

Sko-ba sko-ba-ra-ra

Some of this is useable as-is. Much of the weird text is just a variation of “La La La” in the song, so that’s o.k. The entire first verse will need to be reworked. “Ride the wave and flip it back,” mmm, I need to leave “flip” alone because the A.I. will probably lose the flourish on it if I change it, and that’s worth keeping.

The pre-chorus is good as-is.

In the chorus, “Sko-ba sko-ba-ra-ra” needs to be changed for sure. “Don’t you catch me now” is intriguing, but for the final chorus I’ll try to change it to “Did you catch me now?”

“Sass is all I know” has to be changed.

Verse 2 needs work. Given the limitations of A.I., it’s best if I change as little as possible. Te-na ta-na to will have to change, and “overdrive a melody,” but I should be able to work around the other two lines.

In the next pre-chorus, “Echo off the ceiling” needs work. “Every bolt I’m stealing” can become “Every look I’m stealing.”

The bridge has some flourishes that should be kept. “Sunshine on my side” would make more sense as “Sunshine’s on my side,” and it sounds like that’s what she’s singing anyway, so I’ll just change the written lyrics to reflect that. It’s not a bad lyric if there’s some support for it elsewhere.

“Nobody can slow my glide -” Ideally, I’d only replace “glide” to make the bridge work.

Well, let’s see what I can do. I’ll generate an end for it, download the stems and see about changing the words I have replacements for. I’ve done it in the past, but who knows about the current state of the model? It was bad last week.

Now you can see how A.I. music making quickly dives into “real musician” territory. Even if you aren’t writing out every individual note, you have to have a feel for what works. You’ve got to be able to tell the A.I. about the cowbell. This isn’t too far from what it’s like –

Slop-A-Tronics 9000 – Yotta Yotta

Another Kpop sounding track. Strange that these keep popping up when there are no tags for Kpop or Jpop on Treblo. It sounds like Treblo’s LLM trained on Kpop/Jpop, but Treblo won’t let you specifically request those genres.

The more I listen to these, the more I like them – if only I could change the lyrics. I suppose all the Kpop/Jpop sounding songs would be Yaoi Hokkaido songs. I’m not feeling this sound for the other girls, but who knows? There could be a way that works.

For those who are curious, this is what you guys have been listening to this month –

Not huge numbers, and for all I know they are some form of data scraping – but if the numbers represent real people, it’s a huge improvement over the amount of traffic I got on platforms. Which was typically zero.

Slop-A-Tronics 9000 – Bah-Koo-Ee Shan-Gah

Another light rock/alternative sounding track. Once again, the A.I. decided to ignore the “female vocalist” tag and do male vocals instead. It’s a common problem.

If lyrics were easy to change, this wouldn’t be a bad way to work. I could count off syllables and write lyrics that would fit. How much input do lyricists normally get over the music? Not as much as they can get out of A.I., I’d guess.

That was tough to get done in time (M.4R and M.3R pg 1)

And it’s not really done, but I will try to post the colored version I wanted on Thursday, and that’s how we’ll roll. Unless that doesn’t work either. I don’t have time to be doing this, but I’m not going to give up my comic entirely for things I don’t want to do as much. We’ll just have to settle for less again, as usual.

BTW, props to whomever knows what character Pyro Tits is a reference too. That name is going to sound really stupid to anyone who doesn’t get the reference.

Close enough.

I wonder how long it will take for this to be normalized? 50k is a lot for most people, but there are plenty of people for whom 50k is meaningless pocket change. I don’t know how much the average divorce costs but, figuring in loss of assets, I’m sure it’s more than 50k even for the average person. For the middle aged person who’s been through a divorce and lost half their assets, I’d imagine the robot companion is an attractive option compared to going through the meat grinder again.

Androids are Inevitable

Video should start at the relevant segment. I agree, people aren’t meant to operate as individuals, but that’s where many of us are stuck at now. Living alone is challenging and dangerous. A bad accident could be the end of me. No one is calling for help. Once you accept the need for a companion robot, what should it look like? It should look like what would normally be there – not C-3P0. But few will want their companion robot to look as old as they do, and that would likely add to the cost. It’s going to be a “porn built the internet” kind of situation. The sex doll industry is building out the infrastructure for affordable, realistic companion androids. Adding companion functionality to a product that is already in production is likely cheaper than making an entirely new product, which means that is what most people will have. Of course, most people are going to want the pretty one anyway. It’s going to be a special kind of person who is willing to pay more to have an unattractive companion robot. Compare an old face to a young face, and ask which one will cost more to make. The old face has so much more detail in it, all of which has to look natural to avoid the uncanny valley. Only someone with a fetish for old people is going to pay more to get that look.
