Can someone recommend a good audio editing program for me?

Here's the deal. I've got a number of karaoke audio files residing on my computer and I'd like to make a few MP3s for my SO for Valentine's Day with me singing. I assume it wouldn't be too difficult with the right software to combine the karaoke track with a track of me singing. Can anyone recommend a program that would allow me to do this that isn't terribly complicated?

I'm heading off on a 90 minute commute now and won't be back for a while, but I'll be back tonight and would greatly appreciate any advice offered. Thanks in advance.

3. +1 on Audacity

Been using it for years on my portable recording setup. M-Audio 1010LT 8 input/output on a LANbox machine.

4. I checked it out last night.

Awesome that I didn't need to purchase something. This looks like it will do all I need it to. Thanks for the seconding.

5. Awesome suggestion. Was thinking of this when I saw thread + before I clicked on it.

I use it to record audio as well.
