A clock where the time is in a song title
- Retr0id 3y agoI'd be very curious to see a histogram showing which times have the most/least songs written about them.
- excalibur 3y agoI'm gonna go out on a limb and speculate that 4:20 is at the top of the list. At least among times that don't end in :00 or :30.
- jedberg 3y agoSurprisingly it's number 3. Beat by 5:00 and 3:33. I have no idea what the significance of those are. I mean I guess 5:00 is the traditional start of evening, but no idea what's special about 3:33.
- boustrophedon 3y agoIf your track is already three-and-a-half-ish minutes long maybe the mastering engineer says "okay let's add a couple seconds at the end to make it exactly 3:33 for fun"

- Izkata 3y agoOne of the oldest questions on the SciFi stackexchange, trying to find a story where twice a day at 3:33 the numbers on a clock would come to life: https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/2937/story-where-the-number-3-is-the-monster https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/2937/story-where-t... Though it was misremembered and it was actually 5, not 3, 5:55 is also near the top of this list.

- lathiat 3y agoThere’s a couple good bash libraries for that too: https://github.com/glamp/bashplotlib https://github.com/glamp/bashplotlib There’s a better one google is failing me on
- excalibur 3y agoAre there any holes in this coverage? Any of the 1440 minutes of the day that don't have their own song?
- djbusby 3y agoBe waiting all day for 5:15
- the_snooze 3y agoCan’t wait for 12:51 (The Strokes)
- tetris11 3y agoWhat about "Sunrise" by Pulp
- howenterprisey 3y agoIs there a way to see what songs it has for a specific time?
- blast 3y agoI guess we won't be making it to 25 o'clock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGF7o_I4mAw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGF7o_I4mAw
- 0xcde4c3db 3y agoI suppose we might make it to 25 or 6 to 4, though (which, venerable online articles once informed me, refers to 3:34-3:35 am).

- Michelangelo11 3y agoMy first thought here is: Damn, there is -so much- content out there. Not necessarily art or culture, just ... content. Looking forward to, say, a TV show where every line of dialogue is the title of another TV show (you could actually produce this reasonably easily with AI, and it would be, I suppose, a neat publicity stunt; but I hope to God I haven't given anyone an idea).
- extraduder_ire 3y agoThere's been more good entertainment out there for anyone to meaningfully get through in their lives for a long while now. Feels kinda sad knowing that I'll likely never come across what would be my favourite song/movie/TV show. At least there's always something new to discover though.
- wrs 3y agoIt's close, but 3:33, 5:00, and 4:20 are the most popular. Every time is represented, but 6:31AM, 8:41AM, and 9:49AM have only one song. Entire list: https://pudding.cool/projects/clocks/assets/songs.csv https://pudding.cool/projects/clocks/assets/songs.csv
- blast 3y agoHow would one compile such a list?
- Svip 3y agoThe list seems to be slapping PM and AM together. So you could get a song about 10:02 PM at 10:02 AM, and probably the reverse. Seems strange they would not use a 24 hour clock to associate the songs, and the songs not specifically being about before or after noon could be associated with both. Indeed, it would feel weird to play 2 Minutes to Midnight two minutes before noon.

- damiante 3y agoOnes I can predict based on my music knowledge: 2112 by Rush (interpreted in this case as a timestamp rather than a year) 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago (get 2 whole mins for this one) 2 Minutes to Midnight by Iron Maiden
- jejones3141 3y ago12:30, the Mamas and the Papas
- msla 3y ago"Five O'Clock World" by The Vogues
- resolutebat 3y ago10:35 by Tiesto
- BHSPitMonkey 3y ago"9 to 5" by Dolly Parton? (You could make it work as 9:25 and/or 4:51)
- tetris11 3y ago5:19 by Realto
- Cosi1125 3y agoCame here to check if they have 2 Minutes to Midnight, but alas, no [1]. [1] https://pudding.cool/projects/clocks/assets/songs.csv https://pudding.cool/projects/clocks/assets/songs.csv
- monkeydreams 3y ago> 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago (get 2 whole mins for this one) Three, if you misinterpret it as I did.. 3:35 3:34 3:54
- remram 3y agoListened for a while, but they are not saying it. The titles are cool but it's not fun listening to it if they don't say it.
- extraduder_ire 3y agoThat might be a bit harder to sync up, but would probably be worth it, especially if it showed the lyrics on screen. Plus this is using spotify's song previews to get the audio, which may not be the part of the song you want. I especially want this to be a thing, because it took me far too long to remember that the song "queeblo - Whopper and a Forty" wasn't called "5:45", that's just the time mentioned in the hook.
- dylan604 3y ago10:15 on a Saturday night from the cure. And the tap drips drips drips
- firecall 3y agoThis is the correct time.
- Animats 3y agoI once built a little clock display which displayed "A LITTLE AFTER THREE" and similar messages. I wanted to do it with an e-ink display so it would run for a year or so on battery, but settled for a plug-in version. The idea came from an old New Yorker cartoon.
- khqc 3y agoThe light/dark mode toggle (I think that's what it is) does nothing for me
- howenterprisey 3y agoShucks. 3:12 by Suisei (prod. Taku Inoue), one of my favorite songs, isn't on there. That's probably because it uses the Japanese format of 3時12分. Worth a listen: https://youtu.be/LYFciXBcXIQ?si=Kq94sqYWv-qCkwUV https://youtu.be/LYFciXBcXIQ?si=Kq94sqYWv-qCkwUV
