I had the head of diversity and inclusion for a major teaching institution other the fuck out of me this morning in a way that if they'd tried it with anyone else in the room they'd have been out the door and sued to winnipeg and back but it's okay I'm just scottish and its quaint. I even said are you allowed to ask me that and they thought i was joking.

Just a day or two I was listening to Stan Rogers’ “Giant” and I reflected that with a single exception, the first verse has every beat fall on a noun in the lyrics. To give it the same treatment, you might wind up with:
Wind harbour rain road,
Promise winter recourse coal,
Fire blood fog Brador,
Giant rise moon.
It is an eerie folk song as interpreted by Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

Something more was done to get the syllable drop effect, in normal operation the Infinite Jukebox identifies matching beat-long segments of a song and jumps between them so the song never ends and your ears don't detect the jump and so the song sounds normal until you notice verses are getting dropped or recurring out of order.
Sometimes in a suitably repetitive song (or part of a song) it will get stuck jumping between two identical beats near each other which makes it sound like a scratched CD replaying the same sample over and over again.
I'm not sure how the every other syllable effect was achieved.

Click the Tune button, then turn the Branch Similarity Threshold all the way down and turn off "Loop extension optimization" to get rid of all the branches. Then press the right-arrow key to increase the play velocity by one (see the FAQ for more key controls). Then click the Play button.
John Mulaney agrees
Indeed he does, though I still haven't worked out how to achieve the gravitational slingshot effect of a well placed burst of It's Not Unusual.

A well timed right-arrow can turn that Chumbawumba assassination trigger into something far more listenable. I think they're singing "Nightgown, oh forget it, never going out" but I'm still not sure.

Am I missing some context? I thought the joke was that half the syllables are missing. Any accent in any language would come out sounding funny. (And I'm pretty sure this song was chosen not for the Scottish singer but for the super-metronomic one-note riff that makes it instantly recognizable even when it's carved up.)
Not trying to defend something shitty, just wondering if there's UK/Europe-specific context that's going over my American head.

@nebulawindphone - I'm from the UK, half my family are Scottish and I have no idea what scruss is upset about.
There's a load of songs by artists from other places on OP's tumblr which I tend to think supports the idea that this is just some music-related fun and nobody cares that The Proclaimers are Scottish.

scruss, The Proclaimers are famously Scottish. Hence I tagged it Scottish, so people who like Scottish things might find and enjoy it. Sorry if that offends you, but it's got nothing at all to do with their accents (which are pretty mild anyway).
If you don't like the transcription, which I thought was pretty fun and not because it's anything do with with anyone's accent or otherwise - then take that up with the tumblrati who spent the time writing it up. I gather tumblr like people who can't even.

To be fair, I've been every bit as pleased to have worked out how to make What's New Pussycat go for half as long as well, and Tom Jones is famously not Scottish.

Works even better at velocity 3, for two reasons: (a) the on-beat/off-beat accent structure is preserved and (b) only goes for one third as long!
