This Web site has a plethora of lyrics to review as well as their misheard counterparts. Its artist database is wide and varied, from Madonna and the Beatles to Cocteau Twins and Deee-Lite (the “groove is in the heart,” not the “groovers in the hall”). Other misheard lyrics include “and I'm a a a Cheerio Girl,” from Madonna’s "Material Girl,” and “Until the sun comes up on the cer emony cup of the fun,” from Sheryl Crow’s “All I Wanna Do.” All she really wants to do is some tun “until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard." Prince isn’t “Livin’ in Quebec,” but he does have a “Little Red Corvette.” And the tun doesn't stop there. The Web site lets surfers submit their homemade parodies and vote on their favorites. These cover songs from the 60s through today’s popular songs. One parody of Creed’s “Amis Wide Open” is titled. “The Bar’s Not Open.” There is also a list ot the dumbest band names, the origin of band names and a link to lyrics that are inappropriate (“I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly” from Destiny’s Child’s “Bootylicious”), repetitive (Eiffel 65 s Da ba dee, da ba dai” on “Blue”) or simply misrhymed, unless sung by Cheech or Chong (“I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch, I d take her if I had one wish” on LFO's “Summer Girls”). This is the lyric lover’s online lair for fun. The Web site is addict ing and the laughs really never end. ^ ^ ^ ^ —Lizette Resendez www.imrlght.com Can't get enough of “Judge Judy” and “People’s Court?” Or maybe your roommate vomited all over your new John Deere sheets after a night at Northgate? Well now you can get them all back over the Internet free of charge. At imright.com, users can file pretend lawsuits against lovers, ex’s, friends, roommates and family members. Or, if you're happy with everyone in your life and need a touch of drama, you can enter the courtroom and act as a juror on cases like, “He pimped me out to his neighbor’ vs. ‘She did it herself.’” After registering tor free, you can create your alter ego by choos ing from several shades of hair, types of clothes and faces. You can plead your case, and once your case is closed, you can visit the Bailiff's Boutique where you can actually buy gifts or anti-gifts. For example, tor a case against a lover, you can choose between the “Makeup Sex Assorted Condoms” gift set or a breast-enlarger soap. For those who don’t have money to spend, they can send “e- cards that say, “Apologies are mce. but Liquor is quicker. L m buying, oj .VJ'm not half as sorry us yuu look.”' I he lawsuits ate for fun and entertainment purposes only and you probably won t get a brand new set of John Deere sheets, but it sure beats visiting Judge Judy. Although there are many Web sites on the Internet that h music-related posters, www.pushposlers.co.uk is a site thattii much more to offer. The site’s home page claims that it has^ world’s largest selection of music posters and after surfing the site large selection, it’s clear they have the goods to back up theircfe With a wide selection of posters, calendars, patches, shirts andp- the site gives many choices to those who like decorating inai*. cally inclined way.

"We all listen to a lot of Latin music, and we've been strong ly influenced by it" the band's bass player, Flea, said Sunday in Caracas. The Chili Peppers performed in Venezuela's capital city, the latest stop in their tour of seven Latin American countries. They've played in Mexico, Panama and Costa Rica, and will perform in Chile, Brazil and Argentina this month. The band is promoting its new album, "By the Way," which has shot to No. 1 on the charts in more than 16 coun tries. The four-member band from Los Angeles plans to pro duce Spanish versions of songs in the future. "By the Way" features "Cabron," a song partly sung in Spanish, which is inspired by Los Angeles' Mexican-American culture. "We'll be releasing more in Spanish," said lead singer Anthony Kiedis. "We love the energy that we get out of Latin American audiences."
