How do it know the words?

A student from MIT, Noah Vawter has created a iPod/Walkman device that samples the sounds around you and turns them into a dynamic soundtrack. It uses microphones and DSP to capture and manipulate sound occurring around you and in real-time generates a sound texture for your listening pleasure. Footsteps, jackhammers, car horns, birds can all blend together to create your own personal soundtrack that you can sing along with.

Maybe it should have wireless networking so that you and the people around you can sing together! Musicals aren't actually as far-fetched as you once thought. The townsfolk could actually sing along with you as you prance home from a first date.
