MusicBrainz
MusicBrainz is a project that aims to create an open content music database. Similar to the freedb project, it was founded in response to the restrictions placed on the CDDB. However, MusicBrainz has expanded its goals to reach beyond a compact disc metadata storehouse to become a structured open online database for music.
MusicBrainz captures information about artists, their recorded works, and the relationships between them. Recorded works entries capture at a minimum the album title, track titles, and the length of each track. These entries are maintained by volunteer editors who follow community written style guidelines. Recorded works can also store information about the release date and country, the CD ID, cover art, acoustic fingerprint, free-form annotation text and other metadata. As of 25 October 2015, MusicBrainz contained information about roughly one million artists, 1.5 million releases, and 15 million recordings.
End-users can use software that communicates with MusicBrainz to add metadata tags to their digital media files, such as MP3, Ogg Vorbis or AAC.

Go Get Em' Tiger
by: GisliImagine 2 black hobos in white suits and bow ties
Sitting on the pavement outside a starbucks
Sippin on double decafe latts with low fat milk
And shooting up onheroin
Yo pull out your teeth, have a hamburger,
Go down, slow down
Put on your night gown
Booze is no good on the funky side of this town
So you're back on crack, steroids and smack
Should i beat you up or cut you some slack?
Do you sleep in the streets or easy and cheap?
Shallow not deep? 3 feet tall and pretty weak?
I slip into my suit and my cowboy hat and boots
Play hard core heavy metal and think about you
I had a horrible date with gareth gates
Who was wearing tank top and shades
Running around in roller blades
Lasted for days we had nothing to say until
Suddenly he looks at me and says 'im gay!'
I was like, 'what the fuck? what d'you want me to say,
Hooray? you want a fucking parade?
No fucking way man
Some think you are (go get em tiger!)
Some think you are (go get em tiger!)
Some think you are, but i know you're so much more.
(go get em tiger!)
Met the girl of my dreams
It suddenly seems as if my jeans are too tight to be seen
On tv, atleast cos family shows are not allowed to go down
And show a girl with a thong on, ah well, you know
She stared at me and smiled sweet and said,
'i've seen you on tv' and i said 'are you sure? my place or yours?
Bed or the floor? hardcore? with or without the lights?
Take of your tights' and after a long hard night i said,
'that was incredible!', she said, 'ah, it was alright,
I've had better'
Some think you are (go get em tiger!)
Some think you are (go get em tiger!)
Some think you are, but i know you're so much more.
(go get em tiger!)
Some think you are (go get em tiger!)
Some think you are (go get em tiger!)
Some think you are, but i know you're so much more.
(go get em tiger!)
Go get em tiger! (x3)
You're just a bunch of old teeth you corporate pants, you (x4)
Some think you are (go get em tiger!)
Some think you are (go get em tiger!)
Some think you are, but i know you're so much more
(go get em tiger!)
Some think you are (go get em tiger)
Some think you are (go get em tiger)
Some think you are, but i know you're so much more.
