"Serendipity Shuffle"

Your MP3 player has a shuffle mode. But serendipity shuffle goes one step further. It analyzes the song that you're currently playing and then makes a shortlist of songs related to the song you're listening to now -- mostly by looking for matches in the lyrics, although other linking criteria might be used. Then it randomly selects from the shortlist.

Your music is still "random", but you'll notice a weird, slowly-evolving theme running through all the songs.

I really like the idea. You may want to try a Premium subscription to MP3Tunes (http://www.mp3tunes.com/), as they have a feature similar to what you describe: Smart PlayMix (http://www.mp3tunes.com/locker/cb/smartplaymix). I'm not sure if it does lyrics, but it does use AMG (http://www.allmusic.com/)'s database to "Create a PlayMix based on the song you're listening to."
