I decided to test you a little bit and search for a lyric from a Janis Joplin song Another Little Piece of my Heart, "you know you got it when it makes you feel good" Without quotes this does not produce the song. Maybe increase the weight in the search results from keywords being located next to each other?

#73Do you have any plans on including timestamps for the lyrics, so I could know when in the song the lyric is sung?

#74You have the lyrics for lightsabre cocksucking blues. There is no spam. You will be my first stop for lyrics searches from now on. Thanks.

#75Awesome! Nice work. Once you add URLs you should do some basic SEO. I imagine you have at least 1M songs in your database, and I don't know where you're getting your data from... but Google should pick you up.

#78I did something similar to this a year or two ago ( http://www.lyricfuser.com ) I'm not sure how you guys are scraping the lyrics, but almost all of the large lyric sites ended up blocking my server's IP. You should do this in Javascript if possible to avoid getting blocked. Looks great though!
not sure if it fits you but there _are_ options to avoid scraping the lyrics sites, e.g. http://musixmatch.com/

#79Add chord charts, and I'll be a regular user. The existing tab/chord sites are just as bad as the lyrics sites for spamminess and nasty Flash ads (they're the one site I use regularly that leads me to want to install AdBlock).

This looks interesting. I prefer the (even more) minimalist design of OP's site, but lyrics automatically loading makes this one a winner (for the time being).
