Update the site description hook?

OK,

So after a bit of digging I found this post:

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-somebody-please-tell-me-how-to-use-the-bloginfo-filter?replies=3
and I now have

require('playing.php');
function replace_description($description) {
// do something to $description
$description=$now_playing;
return $description;
}
add_filter('option_blogdescription','replace_description');

Trouble is this adds the info right at the top of the page (see a demo here)

Any one able to give me a kick in the right direction?
