I've always wanted to have an easy way to script the downloading/viewing of the lyrics to all of my favorite songs, so I decided to write a bash script to do it. I knew that the application Rhythmbox provided lyrics in a pop-up window that seemed to be fairly thorough and accurate, so I dove through the sourcecode for their lyrics plugin (in Python) and found that they were using the services at Leo's Lyrics. Looking at the code, it was fairly easy to make out enough of the API calls to reproduce them with wget.

For a good explanation of how I wrote the script, read my article (todo: make this a link) on Linux.com.

Here is a link to the script.
