Misheard lyrics makers are genii, or geniuses. Genii is the proper plural usage of genius, though. Anyway, they're genii. Every time I hear Beichte, I sing the misheard lyrics. It really sounds like that's what they're saying!

It's Jasmine...on a dish/it was an olive on her toe (Rette mich)

Oh, she's slidin/the falling yoda (Freunde bleiben)

The legendary "Hey Jordan, come out! He dropped his calzone on dirty house floor, no mess but a stain. Hey Jordan, come soon, my advice is to leave 'em. Girls on a goat. No matter, don't need 'em" I actually sing these lyrics when beichte comes on. (Beichte)

Epic: We need a brain and a diner house/we bite into a fish!/This one's weird, this one needs to work. This one's Alice... (Komm)

Why can't you bite her!?/Follow this moose!/Give me my cats!/Hide me/feel my hatchling, feed it spare snakes/spilled my coffee/Bill is scheisse/Bill in track pants!/Oh, my cats! (Humanoid)

And the tooth shone/Yay!/DS design/Hallo Santa Claus (Lass uns hier raus)

Body odor awful now/And these are dark days, yes it is/get nauseous and a few horses/blame the family, not me, not me/It starts smelling like feet again/Asassinate some fingers/Is that a tree? No way! (Der letzte tag)

We are ducks on weed!/Leslie/Don't wanna hold onto your spoon (Dogs Unleashed)

I love the recurring themes of feet and deer in this one: Also a deer on me/until my feet are dry/sneak through here/Oh, I'm thirsty/lick these feet and hand/dang, the feet/Elephant and beer/it's the vagina or the deer (Reden)

It can really mix well with onion/Bill's meatloaf/all is lost, hear my roar/I regret being born/Uber shoes/Tom's demented/rabid sheep/DOODY!/Then eat me for dessert (Ich bin nich' ich)

Eagle/the waiters, yes, see him/I licked his feet again/I shredded Susie/dying to see/Dine a little/Magazine/put on a mitten/knee to ship/they call my name/Hotel (Reden)

Every TH fan has seen, or needs to watch this. It's some of the earlier footage I saw of them. I makes me laugh each time, mostly when Georg starts laughing and the cherry picker ascends. Jumbie is now legendary. Every TH fan knows of Jumbie.

This is for if you don't have a larynx, like from laryngeal cancer. I wouldn't say it's an artificial larynx, though. It's just another form of augmentative communication. A true artificial larynx would be a machine in the throat, not the mouth--and it would involve some kind of vocal cords.

You put it in your mouth like a retainer. Tons of sensors on it sense where, when, and how the tongue touches it. So, it distincts with reasonably accuracy between a /d/ and a /g/. Smaller distinctions like /t/ and /d/ are harder.

So the sensors sense the tongue movement. I guess it goes for vowels too. The readings go to a little speaker in one's pocket that says in a computer voice the sounds the person is articulating. Again, with reasonable accuracy. The device detects phoneme patterns, like "Oh, that was a /d/, then a low vowel, likely /o/. Oh, that must be the word "doe." Now I'll make the speaker say that."

There are a lot of words the device can't recognize, in that case it stays silent. Only word and sound patterns it is taught will be able to be said. Also, articulation varies from person to person. A person from Georgia won't say words exactly like a person from New York. Also, there are a lot of sounds that do not involve the tongue much, or at all. /m/ is one, and labials like /b/, approximants like /w/, and rhotics like /r/ don't even have a tongue touching the palate.

There are a lot of downsides, but the future is still bright. Even with its limits, for a person with no larynx and vocal cords this thingy would be great.
