Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

In honor of the past 12 years of Yahoo! Picks, we're calling up favorites from the archives. This feature originally ran November 18, 2003. It's still singing along today. If you need help with the Christmas carols, here's where to turn:

"Do you have an original musical composition bouncing around in your noggin? Maybe you have some lyrics scribbled on a sheet and dream of the day when Celine or Barbra will breathe sweet life into your words. If you're eager to hear a rough estimate of how your tune might sound, this site delivers the goods. Just type in your purest poetry and hear it sung by some of the most recognizable voices in the music business. The best part is that you don't even have to come up with a song—you can type in any message, listen to it, and then mail your masterpiece to a friend. "I hate you" works just as well as "I love your sexy ears," but those are just a few examples to get you rolling. If you type in a word not yet in the site's sound dictionary, you'll be prompted to add a song that features the missing word. Not just for the musically inclined, this fun site will be a major time sink for anyone looking for a way to express themselves through song."

Also, check out our votes for the Best Picks of 2007. Now if only someone would croon "I love your sexy ears" to us...
