    Acapella is the only one that comes to mind.

    ok ok to be more specific you know

    normaly a song is composed of 2 things

    1 - a beat

    2 - the singer singing

    what do we call number 2 ?

    It depends on what genre it is.

    For rap you can start out with "yo".

    If you want a song with out the vocals it becomes an instrumental. and if u want a song with just the sininging without the music. It is accapella.

    There is no others words to discrible it.

    same places you'd get any music *wink wink nudge nudge* just add accapella to the search terms.

    hey, no problem. teach and learn =^.^=

    you know, you could probably use a program like Audacity or such to scan throught the musi and remove the instruments or copy the vocals out and create a new file. just pondering, but i'm sure it's done without too much work.

    You need a program that does that. I personally use a program called Magix Music Maker.

    As a music teacher, I'm banging my head against the wall reading this LOL! It is spelt "A Cappella" ... if you spell it "A Capella" you've just asked for "a little goat" in latin.

    A Cappella is not merely "lyrics" from a song. Many years ago, musical instruments were extremely expensive and only the big cathedrals or nobility could afford them. "A cappella" is a musical "style" ...not lyrics, but the manner in which lyrics are sung. "A Cappella" is Italian for "in the style of the chapel" and is a vocal form developed specifically to compensate for lack of instrumentation. Frequently they had cheap instruments like recorders which would be written into the tenor or alto clefs but AS A VOICE, not an instrument. They became such an artform that they were more popular than the big pipe organs which developed a rank of pipes called the "vox humana" (human voice) in an attempt to mimic the now popular a cappella styles which fused with other styles like sea chanteys and the various regional folk styles and developed into rounds and "madrigals" which the brits perfected to a science and artform and have what have to be the filthiest lyrics you've ever heard ... much more so than modern rap which holds a title of "filthies lyrics ever" which it just plain doesn't deserve LOL!

    So, boys and girls, some day look up and listen to "madirgals" or "sea-chanteys" (which are filthiers still but easier to sing) and you'll be astonished at what the human voice can do and how it can compensate for the lack of instrumentation. If you think rap has filthy lyrics ... then listen to the words of the madrigals as well as sea chanteys, not just the rythms but also lyrics which put rap to shame as purely amateurish. I think if people would listen closely to middle-english cussing, there would be a huge revival as it's really quite comical.

    Oh, I can't do that as I would get banned for that kind of language and obscene material but as you just started your first year of college, it could be a fun if not hysterical paper to write for a creative writing or music appreciation class! Very little in music is actually new but rather a rehash of prior stuff with a new cover.

    I tried to clean up a few lyrics but there is no way to do it LOL!
