The "R Kelly" thread reminds me of a thing I wrote after XKCD's Na comic. This also uses graphviz to generate SVGs showing the path through a song's lyrics. Lighter coloured blobs are more frequently mentioned, and there's an option to compare two songs for similarities in their lyrics.
I could if I stored them. I should really do that. If you append .dot to the name of the svg file, then you can grab the raw graphviz file.. There's no database behind it all really.. I didn't think that far ahead (and largely forgot about it until just now).

Could you post links to the raw data? It'd be great for generating new songs via Markov chains!
