Markov Chain Jarvis Cocker project

The goal of this application is to use Markov Chains to generate new songs with lyrics in the style of Pulp singer Jarvis Cocker.

Description of the project:

1. Fetch original Jarvis Cocker lyrics using musixmatch API (free limited access)
2. Generate and display pseudo Jarvis Cocker lyrics using a simple Markov chain model.

Set up:

• install virtualenv
• run pip install -r requirements.txt
• run python prepare_data.py and wait until the lyrics are dowloaded

Run python generate_lyrics.py and check out the results!
