You've probably had song lyrics stuck in your head at one time or another. Sometimes, they end up as a doodle in a notebook. Song lyrics can find their way onto your shirt or jewelry if you buy them from Lyric Culture (www.lyricculture.com).

The company places song lyrics on accessories and men's and women's shirts, jewelry, bags and scarves. Singer-songwriter Hanna Rochelle got the idea from her love of music and fashion.

You can choose items boasting song titles or lyrics from the Beatles' "Let It Be," Prince's "Purple Rain," Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama," the Scorpions' "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and more. Michael Jackson, Elton John and the Rolling Stones are among the featured artists.

You can browse the website by product or by song. Lyric Culture products are pricey, though. Shirts range from $39 (on sale) to $72. Solid bronze belt buckles with leather straps are $325.

Lyric Culture also has teamed up with Claire's stores for a teen girl collection, called Lyrix, which adds song lyrics to necklaces and rings. These are considerably less expensive at about $10 to $12.
