Websites with song lyrics are a dime a dozen, but they are frequently full of errors. It seems that any random dumbass writes down what he thinks the lyrics are to a song, and then posts them to these sites.
Example, using that timeless classic "Ice Ice Baby"on lyrics007.com:
Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
I’m killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight
You better hit bull’s eye the kid don’t play
If there was a problem yo I’ll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Line 1 should be “bum rush,” not “go rush”; Line 5 should be “you better gain way,” not “you better gain weight.” There are also several other errors on this web page.
Is there a site that actually has the correct lyrics to songs?
You can always try lyrics.wikia.com. A site I learned about from here on the Dope. I can’t tell you how accurate their stuff is for your specific example, but it’s not too far away for you to do it yourself.
I don’t know if it’s the same thing as “Song Wikia” but someone here once linked to LyricWiki, which is pretty comprehensive, and I think malware-free (unlike some of the lyrics sites).
Lyric Wiki is the one I use. I didn’t know there was another song wiki? http://lyrics.wikia.com/Main_Page
I second the warning about random song sites. I got infected one time. I googled a song and went to the first lyric hit. :mad: Had to reformat my laptop to remove vundo. Vundo just keeps coming back after cleaning. Reformat is the only fix.
Far East Movement:Like A G6
Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard
When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard
Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6
Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6
Like a G6, Like a G6
Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6
I don’t have a problem. Note that that was just the first song on the page.
I think you just have to read the lyrics for any song on a dozen-or-so different sites and take the average of them all.
It’s like trying to get an accurate reconstruction of what the Bible says – they take all the ancient manuscripts they can find, in a dozen different ancient languages, hidden away in caves and monastery attics, and compare them literally word-for-word, and try to make their best scholarly guesses as to what the long-lost original text said. – And then they end up with nearly half of each page consisting of footnotes giving every alternate word or phrase for everything on the page.
