Example

From "Crystal Ball" from Death from Above 1979 the line If I can see the end becomes:

If I Can See The End
IF I CAN SEE THE END
If I can see the end
if i can see the end
IfIcanseetheend
Ificanseetheend
ificanseetheend
IFICANSEETHEEND
IfICanSeeTheEnd

If you also use a mask, example ?d?s you get:

If I Can See The End
IF I CAN SEE THE END
If I can see the end
if i can see the end
if i can see the end0
IF I CAN SEE THE END0
If I Can See The End0
If I can see the end0
if i can see the end0!
If I Can See The End0!
If I can see the end0!
IF I CAN SEE THE END0!
if i can see the end0"
IF I CAN SEE THE END0"
If I Can See The End0"
If I can see the end0"
[...]
if i can see the end9}
If I Can See The End9}
If I can see the end9}
IF I CAN SEE THE END9~
If I Can See The End9~
If I can see the end9~
if i can see the end9~

Caveats/Issues

• This isn't super fast, but it is fast enough (probably)
• Sometimes lyricsgenius will not select the artist that you want, I am working on a fix for that. (example: the band "windmill" gets correct to another band called "windmills")
• Some extra bits get added like chorus or instrumental
• You can get duplicates in the final output if the artist uses the exact same line in more than one song

Acknowledgements

The lyricsgenius library made this much easier than I was anticipating.

https://github.com/initstring/lyricpass was my initial inspiration for this project.
