Current Song Lyrics on IM client   (+9, -1)  [vote for, against]
"Young girls with eyes like potatoes…" "the ants are my friends, they're blowing in the wind" "I was swallowing my pen…"

iChat has an option to display 'Current iTunes Song' in place of your status message.

My idea goes further and allows display of the current song's lyrics, as if it were a karaoke display, but the outside world only gets to see the lyrics, not hear the choon as you do.

<looks through mp3 collection>I would definitely not want *that* to pop up on my IM messages</ltmp3c>

This would be great for getting responses while I'm listening to Nine Inch Nails [+]

Looks more like mondegreens than actual lyrics...

Wouldn't the lyrics have to go zipping by awfully fast to keep up with the song?

Last time I bought a duck I got a massive bill.

You could bake this idea, if you dabbled in some kind of karaoke programme.
