Has anyone done a thing where like, someone challenges a musician youtuber to write music for the lyrics to a famous song that they've never heard

like you give someone the lyrics to Stand by R.E.M., make sure they've never actually heard it before, then get them to compose and record a demo based on the vibes that the lyrics give them, like they're Elton John getting lyrics from Bernie Taupin. then only once they're done, you let them hear what the original band did with it

@RavenWorks yes, it would be interesting to see how far from the original they land. With famous songs, maybe they're kind of "in the air" even if you've never heard them (or maybe you did and forgot)
