Music studio (PC) question

[TheNiceGuy]

I am interested in messing around with cover songs. I want to get some complete famous songs (not low-grade karaoke vesions), with no vocals, and then record my own vocals ove them.
Do these songs exist? Where can I get them? And any advice for a home vocalist with a PC?

they exist in elevators

Japanese musicians usually bundle in "instrumental" versions of their songs on cds. These are great for your purpose.

I have a few English songs in mind. Is there a way to erase the vocals?

There's a way, but results vary wildly.

Yes but it's like getting a pap smear with a sawzall.
