Ok I'm doing an entire poetry booklet, and I need to know a few things.
First of all its all in MLA style ok.
I need to make a copy of the lyrics of a song.
Do I put the song title and the singer at the top? Or the song title at the top and the singers name below the lyrics?
And do I need to add where I got the lyrics from on the Works Cited page?
GOD I HATE ENGLISH........I CAN SPEAK IT ALREADY, I DON'T NEED THIS SHIT!!!!!

i'd put the song lyrics in quotations, separate them from the body paragraph they pertain to and justify them so that they don't look like another paragraph and add the lyrics to your works cited page.
example:
the lyrics of this song, written in 1985 by jefferson starship off their album "kneedeep in the hoopla", touch me deeply and emotionally:
"WE built this city, We built this city on rock and roll x2
Say you don't know me, or recognize my face Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight Too many runaways eating up the night
Marconi plays la bamba, Listen to the radio Don't you remember? We built this city We built this city on rock and roll! We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Someone always playing corporation games Who cares they're always changing corporation names We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage They call us irresponsible, write us off the page
Marconi plays la bamba, Listen to the radio Don't you remember? We built this city We built this city on rock and roll! We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street Police have got the choke hold,ohhhhh and we just lost the beat
Who counts the money ,underneath the bar Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars Don't tell us you need us, 'cause we're the ship of fools Looking for America, crawling through your schools
Don't you remember ...
Marconi plays la bamba, Listen to the radio - Don't you remember? We built this city, We built this city on rock and roll We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
We built, we built this city yeah We built this city We built, we built this city (Repeat x5 - fadeing out)"
That's how I'd do it.

My thoughts exactly! I hate.. APA. My undergrad used MLA and my graduate courses are all APA which is annoying as shit. The OWL is an excellent resource

This class is fucked up, if you forgot to cite someone elses work 3 times, they kick you out of the university. 1 is a warning, 2 is zero for that class, and 3 is the boot. And I fucking hate works cited pages.

I still have a book I swiped from my 12th grade English class on writing that details MLA and all that, I could swing it your way if you'd find it useful, I know that shit changes every few years so I question its validity.

Mines called College Style Sheet (6th ed) 2005 so its probably outdated. It doesn't even show how to cite Blu-ray commentary

Ok...
why didn't you just google "How to cite song lyrics MLA format" and "How to cite blue-ray commentary MLA format." It takes one second.
Also, the MLA writing format isn't bad at all. Just make sure you follow the guidelines (that are just about spacing and format, writing skill shouldn't be effected...). Citing stuff really is just filling in the blanks. Also, they have websites that automatically do it for you. I'm pretty sure with some of them (easybib?) you can literally copy and paste the URL into a box and hit a button and it not only cites the source, BUT FILLS IN THE BLANKS FOR YOU. A first grader can write a perfect MLA formatted paper with these tools.

Because then I'd have to cite googles findings, and the site where I got the cite info....and then I'd have to cite you for the info on how to cite those sites. AHHHHHHHH
