Here’s one of our favourite Nirvana performances from their MTV Unplugged in New York session in 1993.
Kay’s a Canadian girl with mad steez who just released her first video aptly called My Name is Kay. Kay’s definitely got a funky and fun hip-hop vibe and her video proves that she’s got #swag. Hoppin’ around her hometown, Kay spreads her name (and gospel) to those who she’s dissed, missed or – gasp! – kissed. Get in the loop about Kay before it’s too late (Perez Hilton is already up on it). If you don’t know, now you know – peep the vid below. (Hey look at that, Kay inspired us to spit some ill rhymes!)

Breaking news: Avril Lavigne’s influence reaches further than the ability to make fifteen-year-old girls wear ties. Her divorce with now ex-husband Deryck Whibley seems to have inspired many of the songs off Sum 41’s latest album, Screaming Bloody Murder. Wonder if she’ll be reimbursed.
Most of the lyrics reflect a bitter tone after a love gone sour. In What Am I to Say, Whibley sings, “How could you be the better part of me, when we’re only half of what we used to be.” Similarly, on Over Now, he states: “What do I have to do, was supposed to grow old with you, but that ain’t gonna happen” …ouch.
The Sum 41 frontman denies that his divorce inspired the lyrics, but we think it’s pretty obvious. What’s your opinion?

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Charlie Sheen’s Violent Torpedo of Truth! We hope you enjoy your voyage with us, and please don’t be alarmed if the cockpit gets a tad smokey; Snoop Dogg is our pilot. Charlie and Snoop have teamed up to take you on the ride of your life, so sit back, relax and above all, #win.
Okay, we lied. There is no Charlie Sheen and Snoop Dogg airline, but they are collaborating on a new track set to be performed on Sheen’s very inspiring (spoken word? Comedy? Performance art?) tour aptly named Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option. The song is reportedly being produced by Rob Patterson from the rock group Filter. We have absolutely no idea what this song might sound like, but chances are your grandma won’t like it.
What will this crazy song be called? Tell us what you think in the comments.

Rolling Stone Magazine has unveiled the Rihanna-fied cover of their next issue. For the cover shot, Rihanna sports her red hair look du jour (WOW!) and a pair of very skimpy jean shorts (DOUBLE WOW!!!). Look for the issue, in both physical and digital copy, on Friday.

It’s Gaga’s birthday! The Mother Monster turns 25 today.
I know what you’re thinking: Gaga is NOT your average 25 year old. True, most people don’t have multiple #1 hits, records, and world tours to their name at 25, but that doesn’t mean that she can’t appreciate a good birthday gift when she gets it, does it?
Here at the MetroLyrics Blog, we’re gonna give Gaga the one thing that we know best: a song, of course. We’re dedicating this track to the Mother Monster on her birthday, wishing her an ultra awesome ‘Celebration.’ Cheers from MetroLyrics.

Lady Gaga’s gone country! The Mother Monster has taken her #1 MetroLyrics chart topping hit, ‘Born This Way’, and given it some fresh country twang. Listen to the new version that debuted on her YouTube channel today.
Lady Gaga – ‘Born This Way (The Country Road Version)’
How do you feel about the country version of Born This Way – win or fail?
One night, in a dark car body shop, Keri Hilson and Chris Brown met for a dance-rendezvous. There were lots of blue neon lights flashing and it was really sweaty in there. They were dancing a perfectly choreographed routine when they suddenly realized that a camera was recording them. This video has finally surfaced and they’ve decided to use it as the music video for their hot new collaboration One Night Stand. If you like Keri Hilson, you’ll watch this because you want to see her wearing really weird (but strangely flattering) green eyelashes and a Matrix-inspired leather trench coat. If you like Chris Brown, you might be watching this to see him without a shirt OR to see his new blonde hair in action.

Lady Gaga/Mother Monster/Stefanie Germonatta headed to the Google headquarters yesterday to take part in an exclusive interview, titled ‘Google Goes Gaga’. In the hour and thirteen minutes on stage, she took questions from her fans and the Google staff. Check out some – or all, if you have time – of the video below, if only for the intro video that shows just how much fame Gaga has racked up on the Internet. As you’ll see, it’s A LOT!!!

The Far East Movement might be in the market for a new name. After the success of their smash hit club anthem “Like A G6,” The Movement have taken the north, south, east and west by storm.

If you’re familiar with The Lorax, you’ll know that it is a cautionary tale of what might happen to the environment if we continue to treat it poorly. Maybe she’ll contribute an environmentally friendly tune to the film’s soundtrack. More details are sure to pop up soon!
Only a week prior to the devastation in Japan, The Black Eyed Peas wrapped up their Lost In Translation themed music video for “Just Can’t Get Enough” – a fast-paced trip featuring the group members ridin’ solo through the country’s famous lights. The video is a beautiful ode to Japan’s bustling city life, and opens with this touching message from BEP:
“This video was filmed in Japan one week before the earthquake and tsunami. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the people of Japan. We love you.”
The final shot also shows the band’s support of Red Cross relief efforts:
“Text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to support relief efforts for the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami or go online to help at www.redcross.org”

Just like all of you, we here at the MetroLyrics Blog love St. Patrick’s Day! So naturally, we thought we’d put a few songs together to get you off on the right foot this St. Patty’s Day and celebrate Irish style!
On this green day, here’s some Green Day!
The Boys Are Back in Town – Thin Lizzy
Everybody knows this song from the Pride of Ireland, Thin Lizzy. When you’re out celebrating St. Patty’s today, why not make this song the soundtrack?
90’s pop fans rejoice – Irish girls B*Witched are the perfect addition to your St. Patty’s Day party!
U2 – Where The Streets Have No Name
We’re thinking U2’s singing about their hometown of Dublin with their hit “Where The Streets Have No Name”.
Sinéad O’Connor – Nothing Compares 2U
Nothing compares to Ireland born Sinéad O’Connor’s cover of this classic Prince track.
Irish girls are representing today in our playlist! The Cranberries front-woman Dolores O’Riordan has a legendary voice. Check this out for the more “chill” moments of your St. Patty’s day celebration.
It’s Not Easy Being Green – Kermit the Frog
Kermit said it best: it’s not easy being green. Lucky for our amphibian friend, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and he can wear his colours with pride!
Calling all Beliebers & Country music lovers: we never thought the two worlds would collide, but the Biebs and Country superstars Rascall Flatts have released a music video for their new collaboration “That Should Be Me.”
The behind-the-scenes, documentary-style video of JB and RF performing together premiered over the weekend, and Bieber excitedly tweeted the following:
Check it out below! What do you think of the unlikely pairing of Biebs and Flatts?
Justin Bieber & Rascall Flatts – “That Should Be Me”
This vid consists of the band playing in a white room, which seems kind of boring at first glance, but the weird effect of the VHS as well as Grohl and his bandmates’ energy makes it worth a watch. Our favourite part is near the ¾ mark when the white walls turn to flashing colours and you can only makeout the silhouettes of the band. It kind of reminds us of those old iPod commercials, don’t you think?
Have a watch…
Lady Gaga has joined the relief effort for the tragedy still unfolding in Japan today, designing a bracelet for sale and donating all proceeds to the relief effort.
Pictured above, the red and white bracelet is an homage to the Japanese flag and reads ‘We Pray For Japan’. For a minimum donation of $5.00, you’ll receive the bracelet with the funds going to aid relief projects in Japan.
Ratatat successfully proved the unthinkable when they remixed Biggie’s “Party & Bullsh*t” into an even more energetic tune.
Hold Ya Head feat. Bob Marley
Looks like Bob and BIGs were collabing in heaven. Hold Ya Head lets fans rest assured that Biggie will keep spittin’ wisdom long into the afterlife.
The Jumpoff -Lil’ Kim feat. Mr. Cheeks
Biggie and Lil’ Kim didn’t just share feelings for each other, they shared lyrics too. In this case, it’s the line, “Believe me sweetie I got enough to feed the needy,” taken from Biggie’s “Big Poppa”. In most cases, this might be seen as a ripoff, but in this case, it’s no biggie smalls, as an ex-girlfriend Lil’ Kim has an honorary right to sample the hip-hop legend.
