removing music from songs?

plain and simple, i need to remove the backing music from a song.

given that the song is stereo, the vioces are mono, i inverted the left channel, and mix-pasted it over the right, result i now have the music without the words.

is there anything i can do to remove the music and leave the words behind?

I see how you got all music, because one channel was only music and no lyrics. But the other channel has both lyrics and music, so unless you can split out the tracks on that channel, I don't think you're going to be able to do this.

I've actually read a thread regarding this somewhere. It explains the reason why one can't remove the music. Basically because it is stereo, and can't be separated the way the vocals can. Why would anyone want just the music gone? Unless one were trying to make a sample from the vocals. Still, it wouldn't be very original. I guess it has been sucessful in a few rap songs. But, they normally bring the original artist to do a overdub.
