Ronald Reagan mashes well with the Harry Styles song Watermelon Sugar. I know this because someone has designed an AI with the exclusive task of recreating the Watermelon Sugar music video using footage pulled from the Reagan Presidential Library.

André Röhrig, a German living in the UK and working in data science, is responsible for the remixed music video. “My AI automatically detects the scenes in the source video clip and then replaces them with similar looking archival footage. This process is end-to-end and doesn't require any manual intervention,” the YouTube description reads. “The archival footage comes from the Reagan Library.”
