So web services and cobbling them together is all the rage on the Net these days. Here's my idea.
Input: a search term (specifically, the title of a song).
Output: an HTML file, a CSS file, and a little Javascript.
Algorithm:
- Scrape a Baidu MP3 Search for the given song title to grab the URL of a recording of the song in MP3 format.
- Scrape a Baidu Lyrics Search for the lyrics of the song.
- For each line of the lyrics:
- Scrape my Chinese Tool to get the pinyin and English for the song lyrics.
- Ask Flickr for a picture that relates to the line of lyrics.
- Generate an S5 Slide Show: embed an auto-play link to the MP3 file, one line of lyrics with superscript pinyin per slide, each slide with a Flickr image background.
Click as you sing along. Ta-dah, one-stop home karaoke!

The slide show doesn't flip slides automatically, it waits for a user click. So you need somebody to sit at the computer and click at the end of every line. Not too hard.
