Do you feel the need to hear the memorable intro from Beats International's "Dub Be Good To Me", but don't want to use YouTube or a silly MP3?

dub_be_good_to_me.rb

require 'rubygems'
require 'nokogiri'
require 'open-uri'

doc = Nokogiri::HTML.parse(open("http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/101453/"))
doc.css('script').remove
song_text_node = doc.at("#songText2")
lines_by_paragraph = song_text_node.inner_html.gsub(/\n/, "").split(/<br><br>/).map do |paragraph|
  paragraph.split(/<br>/)
end
lines_by_paragraph.each do |paragraph|
  paragraph.reject! do |line|
    line =~/\[chorus:?\]/i
  end
end

beats_international_intro = lines_by_paragraph[0]
`say "#{beats_international_intro.join(" ")}"`

Would have been shorter and simpler if I had been willing to accept the first verse in with the intro
