Singing boring headlines

Remember when radio stations would splice together a word from several different songs to make one singing sentence? Some bored soul, with much more time on his hands than I, created a Web site that will magically translate text into song.

Provided you visit the site, type in "Baby, I love to rock so much it hurts with a good feeling inside" and press play. I basically chose words based on how often they would appear in popular song lyrics.

Rather than decipher each song title and artist in the sentence, I started plugging in bland headlines from major newspapers. (Surprisingly, I detected nothing from either U2 or Bono's voice while doing this.)

And without further ado, I give you the musically enhanced version of New York Times online:

Education:
"When Science Suddenly Mattered, In Space and In Class"
(Read the article here)

World News:
"The Rest of the World Discovers the Business Jet"
(Read the article here)
