  • Can you hear the lyrics? Well it's just your ears tricking you. The only thing playing in this is piano. Weird isn't it?
    To do this with any other song you need to convert an mp3 file to a midi file using the website below and then use anything that can play midi files. The program I used is called MIDITrail.

      it's not actually that much of an illusion. every sound in the world is simply a series of differently spaced overtones. you can think of an overtone as a sine wave, which is basically an extremely pure beep. when you layer these overtones in different frequencies and volumes, you can create literally any sound (theoretically).
      the human voice also works like this. there's a base frequency, and then there are overtones; what is happening here is that the piano is simply "playing" the overtones that comprise the sound, thereby quite accurately emulating voice. it isn't really an illusion, since this is somewhat how sounds work anyway, just with piano notes instead of the sine waves.

      I hear
      Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
      I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
      She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
      In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
      Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
      Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
      Didn't make sense not to live for fun
      Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
      So much to do, so much to see
      So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
      You'll never know if you don't go
      You'll never shine if you don't glow
      Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
      Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
      And all that glitters is gold
      Only shooting stars break the mold
      It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
      You're bundled up now, wait till you get older
      But the meteor men beg to differ
      Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
      The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
      The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
      My world's on fire, how about yours?
      That's the way I like it and I never get bored
      Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
      Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
      All that glitters is gold
      Only shooting stars break the mold
      Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
      Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show, on get paid
      And all that glitters is gold
      Only shooting stars
      Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas?
      I need to get myself away from this place
      I said yep what a concept
      I could use a little fuel myself
      And we could all use a little change
      Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
      Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
      Didn't make sense not to live for fun
      Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
      So much to do, so much to see
      So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
      You'll never know if you don't go (go!)
      You'll never shine if you don't glow
      Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
      Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid

      Because naturally all sounds consists of a mix of various frequencies which is the ground structure for all kinds of different sounds, instruments and voices. This online converter is able to convert frequencies to a midi-file (at least to an extent) by using the high notes as high frequencies, low notes as low frequencies and mid notes as mid frequencies. That's why you're hearing the voices. It's quite normal.

    you come home from work late one night, you feel tired but satisfied with your days effort. as you walk into your house an unfamiliar shape is seen in the shadows, you turn on the light quickly and realize its the keyboard you had just gotten from your aunt during the holidays. you had entirely forgotten about it. you laugh at your forgetfulness and head to your bedroom where you'll finally be able to get some rest. you turn off the lamp, shuffle into the covers and close your eyes and fall asleep....
    you turn over in bed feeling drowsy unsure of what time it was, you check your phone sitting on the bedside table for the time. 2:34 AM. you groan at your accidental awakening and decide to get some water. on the way back to your room you hear faint mumbling of a mundane tune. you stop in your tracks to listen more closely, a red light strobing lightly down the hallway. you turn on the light out of fear, the brightness making you feel more secure. you walk back to the main living space of your home. the music was getting louder and louder, what was that song? where was it coming from? you turn around the corner, and sitting against the wall your keyboard is playing all the notes to smashmouths allstar. so well you can almost hear the words....no, you CAN hear the words. you quickly run over to your keyboard thinking it was just a setting on the instrument, but it wasnt even plugged in. the tune was becoming unbearable with its heightening volume and then at all stopped.
    you think it was a mistake, but you were tired and didn't want to deal with it. so you threw a blanket on top incase it made more noise that should tune it out a bit. or limit its abilities. you would rid of it tomorrow. and as you climb back into bed, feeling only slightly bothered all you hear is a quiet 'somebody once asked could i spare some change for gas....'

      It is an illusion. If you have heard this song enough times so that you know the lyrics, you will hear the singer even though he is not actually singing because your brain is putting it in itself. Don't believe me? Try listening to a song converted into midi that you are not familiar with, and see if you can hear the lyrics then.

Well, the years start coming and they dont stop coming, fed with the rules and i hit the ground running. Didnt make sense not to live for fun, your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb. So much to do so much to see so whats wrong with taking the backstreets. Youll never know if you dont go, youll never shine if you dont glow. Hey now, your an all-star, get your game on, go play. Hey now, your a rockstar, get the show on, get paid. And all that glitters is gold, and only shooting stars break the mold. Its a cool place,and they say it gets colder. Youre bundled up now wait till you get older. But the meteor men beg to differ, judging by the hole in the sattelite picture. The ice we skate is getting pretty thin. The waters getting warm so you might as well swim. My worlds on fire, how bout yours. Thats the way i like it and i never get bored. Hey now, your an all-star, get your game on, go play. Hey now, your a rockstar, get the show on, get paid. And all that glitters is gold, and only shooting stars break the mold. Hey now, your an all-star, get your game on, go play. Hey now, your a rockstar, get the show on, get paid. And all that glitters is gold, and only shooting stars. Somebody once asked could i spare some change for gas i need to get myself away from this place. I said yep, what a concept, i could use a little fuel myself and we could all use a little change. Well, the years start coming and they dont stop coming, fed with the rules and i hit the ground running. Didnt make sense not to live for fun, your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb.

    it's not actually that much of an illusion. every sound in the world is simply a series of differently spaced overtones. you can think of an overtone as a sine wave, which is basically an extremely pure beep. when you layer these overtones in different frequencies and volumes, you can create literally any sound (theoretically).
    the human voice also works like this. there's a base frequency, and then there are overtones; what is happening here is that the piano is simply "playing" the overtones that comprise the sound, thereby quite accurately emulating voice. it isn't really an illusion, since this is somewhat how sounds work anyway, just with piano notes instead of the sine waves.
    do feel free to correct me if im wrong though

    Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
    I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
    She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
    In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
    Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
    Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
    Didn't make sense not to live for fun
    Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
    So much to do so much to see
    So what's wrong with taking the back streets
    You'll never know if you don't go
    You'll never shine if you don't glow
    [Chorus]
    Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
    Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
    And all that glitters is gold
    Only shooting stars break the mold
    It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
    You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
    But the meteor men beg to differ
    Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
    The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
    The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
    My world's on fire how about yours
    That's the way I like it and I never get bored
    [Chorus: x2]
    Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
    I need to get myself away from this place
    I said yep what a concept
    I could use a little fuel myself
    And we could all use a little change
    Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
    Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
    Didn't make sense not to live for fun
    Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

      There is JUST piano sounds playing, but since its a direct midi convertion from the original song with vocals, it mimmicks the vocal a bit and your brain does the rest.

      Sam Rides You misunderstand... The illusion is that the "noise" as you describe it has no vocals, nothing actually sounding induvidually as human voice. It is only piano and no matter how much you argue "its just a robot mimicking human voice" there is still an illusion of the simple fact that we hear words and voices, and a piano can never be anything else sounding than a piano. Thats why people who dont know the songs have a really hard time hearing anything but noise.

    The reason this happens is because the digital piano is playing about 20 notes at one to capture all the tones of the human voice making a certain sound. Our voices are never just one note, but a sort of vibrato. By playing this many notes at once, it's able to capture that effect.

    An educated guess: The effect is similar to a vocoder, but the pitch is quantized. There also isn't a noise source available as there would be in a classic vocoder so fricatives aren't properly synthesized.
