In 2014, webcomic XKCD introduced readers to the joy of Wikipedia article titles that can be sung to the tune of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song. Now thereās a Twitter bot spitting out fresh examples on a regular basis, turning even the most horrible eight-syllable tragedies into delightful singalongs.
The āWiki Titles Singable To The TMNT Theme Songā Twitter account is not one to scroll through in one go. The bot account scours Wikipedia for article titles matching the syllable count and stress pattern of the āTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesā portion of the classic cartoon theme, runs the title throughGlen Chiacchieriās TMNT logo generator(also inspired by the XKCD comic) and spits out fresh results on the hour.
Itās the sort of account one follows and then forgets, until it spits out a fresh singable tidbit into their feed. Hereās one of the latest.

The bot, created by Twitter user _eel_, has gained more than 26 thousand followers since it started on June 12, so others seem to think itās nice as well. Sing along with some of my favorites.
Mmm. Brightens the day every time. Thatās good Twitter.
