I’m looking for a song I heard a few years ago. It was some kind of techno song, and I remember a spoken line that sounded awfully like "
My name is Benny the killer fuck beef truck." I have a feeling those aren’t the actual lyrics.

Where the streets have no name. A horse with no name. What I really want to say, I can't define. What other songs try to evoke the wordless and undefinable?

What song is this? I only have the first line of the lyrics. "When you can't hold on and your will is mostly gone" or something like that. It's in 3/4 time, medium-slow soulful ballad, male singer...

What song is
this?
Ethereal and moody vocals (not quite spy, not quite gothic, but leaning ecletic), jazz rock background, sounds a bit like early Goldfrapp, or Morphine, or maybe even Darling Violetta. (All pretty approximate.)
Very rough lyrics:
I call you Tracy,
You get along,
You lovely...
sing me your song.
I call you darling,
I know it's strong.
I bet...
...and on.
Show goes on.
Show goes on.
I call you ...
...
I call you Liza B.
I wish I could see
That maybe it's only my dream.
It's only my dream.
Show goes on.
Show goes on.
I miss...
...queen of bees (beasts?).
That honey Suzie,
bewitched by me.
I think you're...
what else can be?
...
...
Be my promise breaker,
...
delusion maker,
...
I wish I could see,
It's only my dream.
Show goes on,
The show goes on.

GrammarFilter:
I was listening to "Blackbird" by the Beatles recently, and was struck by the line:
"You were only waiting for this moment to arise."
I was intrigued by the way the phrase "to arise" has sort of an ambiguous function here.

How do I take a song off a regular cd, add viewable lyrics (and whatever else is necessary) and turn it into a karaoke disc that I can hand to the kj at a karaoke joint?
I already have
evil lyrics and some other audio software, but I can only find reference to working with songs that are already on a cdg ... no references in my audio programs to exactly how to make one myself.

My mother used to sing a song to me as a child: "It's a rainy day / and we have to stay inside. / The rain is falling down / and we can't go out to play. / Why does it have to rain / anyway?" She swears it's from Sesame Street, but Google seems never to have heard of it. Who composed this song? Where could she have heard it from? Is it indeed Sesame Street?

We're about to purchase the Lambert, Hendricks and Ross CD "Sing a Song of Basie", but need to know if John Hendricks lyrics are included in the remastered CD liner notes.
We know that they were there with the original vinyl, but online retailers are annoyingly vague about the CD.
Does anyone have this CD? Could you let me know?

This quote has been driving my roommate and I crazy for over a year. It's in a song, possibly TV show or movie. Basically someone asks "forever ever" (pronounced "foreva eva") in the context of "will you love me forever?" and then responds "foreva eva." ("yes I will love you forever). We think Will Smith said it at one point but we're not at all sure. We've googled but to no avail. Any idea what this is from or who said it?
