 | Does anyone know where one would possibly locate certain songs con just vocals? Like a backwards karaoke? Is there a
 certain technical term? or a program that can just cut out
 vocals?

 | certain songs have acapella versions on 12" singles. this is largely limited to hip-hop and r&b, genres you may be
 completely uninterested in (i don't know). however, some pop
 artists occasionally release acapella versions too. bjork,
 if you want to say she's pop, has an acapella mix of "hidden
 place" as a b-side, and that's what ketel used to make his
 remix (it's not an official one). madonna has some acapellas
 out there, etc. and then of course there is true acapella
 music (choruses without any instrumental backing). so you
 have some choices but it's a little limited.
 
 you can make your own acapella mix of a song by using
 software to change the EQ around, filtering out some of the
 bassier stuff to obtain the vocals (doesn't work for low
 voices i guess). back to bjork again, there are some decent
 acapella mp3's done this way floating around, but you can
 still hear some of the instruments (the higher range stuff
 like celestes). but it's better than nothing!

 | Yeah, I've thought of EQing things, and I've got some supposedly vocal-removing programs - I'm very lazy however
