When you’re done doing your best Shaggy impersonation to celebrate Casey Kasem’s 75th (zoinks!), take a look at the snacks o’ the week.

No more la la la-ing required: Why hum the words when you can sing the entire chorus with confidence. Now find more than 400,000 licensed song lyrics for free on Yahoo! Music. All you have to do is insert a partial lyric or phrase into the Yahoo! Music search bar and voila! No more excuses for singing “I wanna piece of bacon” to the Ramones’ famous anthem.
Swing batta batta: Baseball fanatics can now hoot and holler for their fantasy baseball teams from the couch using Yahoo! Sports for TV. If you’ve got a Windows Media Center device, you can watch your fantasy lineup hit home runs and view real-time updates on your team’s scores without missing a single minute of the live game on TV. The best part — you control what you see right from the TV remote! Read more about what else the team’s got brewing.
Video replay: When you’re not in front of the TV, catch video clips of every NBA playoff game on Yahoo! Sports. You’ll get highlights from the finals, top plays, game previews, and press conference recaps with Toronto Raptors Forward Chris Bosh, providing all the juicy post-season action. And starting April 29, we’re adding highlights of MLB’s top 10 homeruns and defensive plays of the week. So grab some chips, a drink of your choice, and your mouse — you have lot of plays to view again and again.
Online soap box: Not only can you find out all you ever wanted to know about the 2008 elections at Yahoo! Elections, you can be part of Internet history. That’s right, folks. Mark your calendars for the first-ever online-only presidential debates (two of them) to take place after Labor Day with both Democrat and Republican candidates. You’ll have the chance to ask questions directly of the candidates, participate in real-time, and even rate their performance. Whatever side you represent, who wouldn’t love feeding questions to PBS’ Charlie Rose (did I mention he’s moderating both debates?).
