Now you just need the MIDI of the song on top of it and it’s perfect!

MIDIs, audio conversion, and speech synthesis! 🤯
I’d suggest [this tool for MIDIs](https://forum.makecode.com/t/midi-to-makecode/40857), though, because [audio conversion](https://forum.makecode.com/t/video-audio-conversion-tool-showcase/40865) can only handle a few seconds, but if you want more detail you can use a speech synthesizer like [SAMMY](https://forum.makecode.com/t/sammy-text-to-speech-speech-synthesizer-extension/39499) or [SAM](https://forum.makecode.com/t/extension-sam-text-to-speech/39885)!
> **Quarantined ramblings on the difference between SAMMY and SAM**
>
> - SAM takes up a significant amount of space in your project because it has to store a large dictionary in the game, whereas SAMMY’s is stored on the website.
> - On the other hand, SAM works entirely within makecode whereas SAMMY requires a website and a lot more work to translate the message into phonetics.
> - SAM can convert a set of 300 english words; SAMMY is entirely custom, so it can convert any sound, word, or language.
> - They sound different; SAMMY is fluid whereas SAM is segmented. One or another may sound more realistic to you, it’s up to personal preference!
> - Both of them require you to show the spoken text on screen to make the illusion of speech work.
