Following up on my e-book containing all Gizz lyrics - see my post here - I present to you:
What the Gizz?!
A browser-based game where you guess Gizz songs by looking at random lines of lyrics. The less guesses you need to figure out the song, the better!

For the nerds:
I wrote a Python script that extracts all lyrics lines from the LaTeX sources that I compiled for my e-book project. This creates a JSON file that stores all lyrics for each song, grouped by album (all_lyrics.json). This is then used for a little piece of JavaScript code that runs the game in the browser. It picks a random song containing at least 2 lines of lyrics, then presents random lines to the user who has to guess the song. The script removes duplicate lines and shows each line only once. If the user takes more guesses than there’s lines available in the pool, it’s game over!
