The goal of this application is to use Markov Chains to generate new songs with lyrics in the style of Pulp singer Jarvis Cocker.

Description of the project:

1. Fetch original Jarvis Cocker lyrics using musixmatch API (free limited access)
2. Generate and display pseudo Jarvis Cocker lyrics using a simple Markov chain model.

Set up:

• install virtualenv
• run pip install -r requirements.txt
• run python prepare_data.py and wait until the lyrics are dowloaded

Run python generate_lyrics.py and check out the results!
