The song "Help!", by the Beatles. Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney in 1965.

This MIDI file has synchronized* Karaoke lyrics included in its meta text. These lyrics, and presumably the whole song/file, were programmed by Jed Shlackman. Because lyrics are included (hidden) in this MIDI file, I have included them here for you to enjoy. (Also, there is metadata at the end of the file that reads "0 Meta TrkName 'D.W.Barnes'". I don't know what this means; make of it what you will.)

Help! I need somebody
Help! Not just anybody
Help! You know I need someone

When I was younger
so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's
help in anyway

But now those days are gone
I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind
I've opened up the door
CHORUS:
Help me if you can I'm feeling down
and I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
won't you please please help me

And now my life has changed
in oh so many ways
My independence
seemed to vanish in the haze

But every now and then
I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you
like I've never done before

(CHORUS)
(lyrics repeat)

*Synchronized means that each word or syllable has a corresponding number that connects it to a note in the song. For example, the first line in the song "Help! I need somebody..." looks like this in the MIDI code:
1440 Meta Text "\Help!"
1536 Meta Text " I"
1728 Meta Text " need"
1824 Meta Text " some"
1920 Meta Text "body"
2112 Meta Text "/Help!"
2816 Meta Text " Not"
2944 Meta Text " just"
3072 Meta Text " an"
3168 Meta Text "y"
3360 Meta Text "bo"
3648 Meta Text "d"
3744 Meta Text "y"
4320 Meta Text "/Help!"
4416 Meta Text " You"
4512 Meta Text " know"
4608 Meta Text " I"
4800 Meta Text " need"
4896 Meta Text " som"
4992 Meta Text "one" (and so on...)
I wonder what these synchronized karaoke lyrics were intended for?
