Big feature. A website where users can submit their own lines, and they're checked for the right number of syllables and correct stresses versus actual lines from the song.

Need to get my head around testing in Python, then apply it to this.

One thing I'm noticing is that a lot of what the bot puts out is a strange amalgamation of usually obscure words. If it used more common words, the tweets would probably be better appreciated.

It's the first implementation and I was trying things out, so the structure isn't as clean as it could be. It'll make it easier to implement the bot for other songs and purposes. As part of this, I'll try to comment more thoroughly.

So that we can get a full verse and chorus. We can create lines in a similar style to:

He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He say, "I know you, you know me."
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease

He say, "One and one, and one is three."
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see

6 syllables for the first bit, 12 for the second. Last word has to rhyme with "see" for each.

Doesn't tweet if env vars aren't set, just logs what would've been tweeted to stdout.

In Jake Kaufman's original tweet, he uses some different "he got"s, like "he go", "they bought", "we got", "they been". We could even generate these on the fly with a list of pronouns and valid words.
