Semi-serious. It regularly picks up an entirely bizarre song, however in doing so it's also found some bangers. My kid loves diggy-diggy hole and it played the wind rose version ( [this video] ) which is awesome. I asked for I wanna be like you for the kids and got the expected one a few times. Then one time it returned the triple J version by the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets ( [LINK] ) which became the new version for running around the room pretending to be a rollercoaster. These are covers at least, but it will also just play the weirdest mishearings of something. So semi-serious as I'm mocking it getting things wildly wrong, but also legitimately we discover new music this way.

One of the "I'm trying to find it" ... Fantasy metal. I was wondering where I'd find Blind Guardian ( [LINK] [LINK] ) or the newly emerging dwarfish metal genre with Windrose (best known for their rendition of Diggy Diggy Hole [this video] but they've got other music that celebrates fantasy dwarf culture - [LINK] )
