The creator of something similar (but with Nickelback) posted on Reddit last week and went into a bit more detail, but essentially, he created a bunch of lyrics with a markov chain, then arranged them into the structure of a song.

I don't buy that explanation, there's clearly a ton more human involvement here than just rearranging verses.

The output is far too grammatical and maintains too much thematic consistency across filler word distance to be output by a low-order Markov chain, but is too unique compared to the (very small) corpus to be output by a high-order one.
