Anybody can post a challenge.
The rules of the game are simple, take any song you like from any genre you want, put the lyrics through any AI [you may weight lyrics as the AI allows] that you want and post the resulting image here under the post title Name That Song [GENRE]. After 48-72 Hours or if the answer is guessed sooner, edit the post's title to [Solved][Genre] and put the song title and artist (and optionally any highlighted lyrics) in a spoiler tag in the body of the post.
Other than that, enjoy.
Here is a list to a few AI image generators you can use.

What exactly from the welcome sticky do you believe I failed to understand?
I think perhaps you should reevaluate your communication style. I just provided a lot of honest feedback to your query in a manner that I hoped was constructive. If you feel like I misunderstood something, or that you've covered one of my points above in the welcome text, then you could respond to me in the same manner I responded to you. Because I did read the welcome post while I was composing that post. I even reference it directly in my post, which I'm not entirely sure you bothered to read, since you've not responded to any of the points I brought up. So I'm sort of sitting here wondering "What's The Point Of A Feedback Post If OP Is Unwilling To Receive Feedback?"
It appears you failed to see that there are many other AIs other than Craiyon that were mentioned and that it was also clearly mentioned that you may give weight to lyrics as you see fit which would eliminate the problems you mentioned having.
Here is an image from the first verse of The Trooper it took all of 5 seconds to create.
You really were having trouble?
Correct, I really was.
I did not fail to see that you had listed many different options. I selected Craiyon because you and your partner had listed it as the first beginner friendly option. I am, as I stated, a total novice. I listed my process for trying to generate an image. I listed the issues I was running into. Instead of providing suggestions for how I could have done things better (beyond "why didn't you try one of the other tools we've listed") you have A) referred me to a welcome post which contains no pointers for the issues I've told you I had and B) created an image trying to show me how easy it all is with no description of what you did to get the results you posted here.
As I said in my initial post, you are completely undervaluing what it takes to get the results you got, because you appear to be experienced with these tools. That's great, but you've posted something that is asking why people are not following your lead and creating content in your absence. I have no desire to jump through a half dozen different image generation services to make something I feel like is a guessable, but interesting post.
Now, you may say, "fuck you rando, it's not my job to teach you how to make these tools do what you want, Google it". However, within the context of this post, you could really stand to take a less superior, snarky stance towards the people you're asking for help in supporting this community and instead actually listen when someone describes the problems they're having. Even if you think I'm being a big dumb idiot.
Regarding the image you generated, I'll reiterate what I said initially, I got like 8 pictures of horses in various impossible poses when I put the lyrics from one of the verses in. I recalibrated by writing a prompt which evoked the lyrics of the song without necessarily directly quoting them. That did get me in the ballpark, but, like I said initially, most of the actual lyrical references were lost and I was left with a generic image of 19th century combat. Much like the image you just posted. And you might think that that image is perfectly acceptable as a post. I disagree. Sure, in this instance it would probably work (there can't be THAT many metal songs referencing the charge of the light brigade), but if it was a more generic song, it would be unnecessarily difficult to guess. Which, as others in this thread have said, is an impediment to people interacting in this space.
