Good lyrics website!

At long last, what I had considered to be the holy grail in reference services, a lyrics site that doesn't infect your computer with garbage and yet has accurate, popular music lyrics: the International Lyrics Playground.  My colleague in arms here at the San Mateo County Library, Warren Netz, passed on this site.  Thank you Warren, you reference wonder!

The database contains over 30,000 songs so far.  Some search tips can be found at the bottom of their main page.  Their search engine is driven by Google and works pretty darn well if you're searching by artist, song title, or simply a lyric-fragment.  It is volunteer-driven and completely free (though they do encourage donations).
