Google started publishing Song Lyrics in Search Results

World's most popular search engine Google has started showing lyrics of Songs in search results for US based users. Now they can get the lyrics of songs just by typing Song Name+Lyrics keyword in search box of www.google.com. The lyrics of the song will be shown on the snippet top of the search results of google. The lyrics are accompanied by a link to the song's listing on Google Play Music, the company's content marketplace. The feature is live in the US and does not offer lyrics for all songs. The move was reported by SEO Round Table. A TechCrunch report cites a Google spokesperson to confirm that the feature is indeed being implemented.

Google already summarised displays results for a large number of search terms from websites such as Wikipedia, CIA World Factbook and Freebase as part of its Knowledge Graph feature. It recently started displaying 'how to' summaries, a move that could reduce search traffic to websites publishing how-to articles. 

Even the roll out of song lyrics results could lead to decline in search traffic to websites that compile and publish lyrics. Google is also promoting its own content by placing the Play Store link with the results at the top.
