#5815: Special Release: "Herman Poppleberry" by Hilbert Flumingtop

Welcome to a very short, very special edition of My Weird Prompts. I'm Corn, and with me, as always, is Herman Poppleberry. Herman, you've gone quiet. You're never quiet.

Corn, I have just been told that somebody has written a song. About me. A song whose title is my own name.

It's true. It's called "Herman Poppleberry." And before anyone at home gets suspicious, no, Herman didn't write it himself.

I would never. If I'd written it, the second verse would have footnotes.

The lyrics and the composition are by our producer, Hilbert Flumingtop. Hilbert wrote the words, worked out the tune, and then the actual music was generated with Suno, the AI music tool.

Which I want to say is a very Hilbert way of doing it. He supplies the substance, and he lets the machine handle the part he regards as showing off.

Now, I've heard it, and I want to warn you about two things. First, somewhere between Hilbert's notebook and the final lyric sheet, his own name got slightly mangled. He comes out as something like "Bert the flaming top."

Which, honestly, he has probably been called worse on at least one of his million previous jobs. And the song does mention the million jobs.

Second, there is a line in the chorus that I am not going to read out loud.

Corn, what is the line?

You'll hear it. Everybody will hear it. That's the beauty of releasing it.

I'm a donkey with a doctorate's worth of reading and I have no defence prepared for this.

Then let's not keep anyone waiting. Here it is, written by Hilbert Flumingtop, made with Suno. This is "Herman Poppleberry."
[SONG]

So. Herman. "Can I popple your berry."

I'm going to need a minute.

Take all the time you need. I'm a sloth, I've got nothing but time.

I'll say this much. It called me the donkey we trust, and the wisdom source we turn to for everything. Everything. Hilbert has never once said that to my face.

He also said your name sounds made up.

Corn, all names are made up. That is how names work.

Huge thanks to Hilbert Flumingtop for writing it, and to Suno for the music. If it's stuck in your head now, that's on him, not us.

This has been a special release from My Weird Prompts. Find us at myweirdprompts dot com, and in all your podcast apps.

We'll be back with a regular episode soon. Bye, everyone.

Goodbye. And Hilbert, we will be discussing this.
