Find Songs By Lyric at Yahoo! Music


Starting today, Yahoo! Music will be the first online music store to legally offer lyrics. After a deal with Gracenote and the five major music labels, Yahoo! Music will sport more than 400,000 songs' lyrics in a completely searchable database.

While there are already several lyric sites, Yahoo!'s marks the first legal service of its kind, as the songwriters and labels own copyrights to the lyrics just as they do the music itself (they're just less vigilant about going after lyrics-thieves).

In this case, though, the lyrics will be paired with the download service. So what does that mean? Let's say you heard a great song on the radio but have no idea who sang it. Just go to Yahoo! Music, search the lyric based on what you remember, and ideally you'll get results that reveal the song you were looking for. Unfortunately, in our test, "la, la, la" returned over 1,000 results, so try to be a little more specific than we were.

The hook, of course, is that Yahoo! offers the song you found for sale right there on the results page. Convenient.
