Drop the Topic 

What is it? How do I use it?

A experimental random-word tool. Random words and phrases drop from the sky.

You don't really "play" the game.  For now, it's more like a screensaver that doesn't save your screen.   Instead, run this on a spare monitor or spare device, while you are improvising your song lyrics. It might give you some ideas to write about. 

Caution: This app is intended  for ADULTS. Although we've made an effort to reduce offensive topics, some words or phrases MIGHT NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN. This is NOT intended to be used by educators.
