Answer 1

[Jan]

Real one is simply too boring for a good song:

song = real(1);
wavplay(song, 44100);

At least the text of the "Why MATLAB-synthesised-song" is a revelation:

SongText = evalc('why');  % a duet with Sean
NET.addAssembly('System.Speech')
speaker = System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer();
speaker.Rate = 1
speaker.Speak(SongText)

[Sean de Wolski]

I needed:

SongText = evalc('why');

[Jan]

I needed it, too. But even then, it is different from real one.

[Walter Roberson]

Yes. Every time I try,

why

and

evalc('why')

give me different results.

I think Cleve wanted it that way.

MATLAB changes the output to avoid potential copyright violations. The details of how it does that are "trade secret", in order to prevent people from creating the MATLAB output some other way and copyrighting that version too.
