Rock the Cash Box?

I love music but I’m terrible at understanding what a singer is saying and given how popular lyric searches are on Yahoo! Search, I’m not the only one with this problem. Finding a reliable lyrics source can be difficult and frustrating for music lovers. Thankfully, Yahoo! Music recently launched a lyrics web site that includes hundreds of thousands of song lyrics. It’s the first ever free and legal lyrics site. To coincide with this, Yahoo! Search added a new shortcut that will help music fans find lyrics from their favorite artists quickly and easily.

For example, try some old school favorites like The Ramones lyrics, The Beatles lyrics, or Stevie Wonder lyrics. Or, some current chart toppers like Avril Lavigne lyrics, Gwen Stefani lyrics, or Arctic Monkey lyrics. Looking to get a specific song stuck in your head? Try Nelly Furtado Say it Right lyrics, U2 Beautiful Day lyrics, or The Clash Rock the Casbah lyrics (it’s not rock the cash box??).

Have fun and let us know what you think!

  1. Carlos,

    “Rock the cash box” reminded me of my
    “I want to know where you live” error
    and–even worse–thinking that
    Hall and Oates was
    “Haulin’ Oats”

    Oh well,

  2. This is great that the music industry and artists are finally understanding how important it is to offer this info free

    years ago, lyric sites were receiving take down notices for SONY and EMI once they go too popular

  6. That’s a pretty amazing title for a blog entry :). Yahoo Music is already pretty sweet, so I’m glad that the time is being taken to make it even better. Glad it’s FREE too!

  7. Great new feature. Results seem to be very accurate and even cover some of the “older” songs.

    One small problem for me though – the way the page displays in Firefox 2.0.0.3

    Very cool though…
