LaTeX and Bibtex: command to print a single full reference from a bib file?

Question

I'd like to be able to print a single reference from a Bibtex .bib file anywhere in my LaTeX document—not cite it, but print the reference, exactly as it would appear in the normal bibliography listing.

So if this is a regular citation, that prints a bracketed reference:

% Normal citation, appears as bracketed reference, e.g. [2]
cite{Kawahara:2007p1116}

I want something like the following:

print_citation{Kawahara:2007p1116}

which should print the full citation as it appears in the bibliography, something like:

[2] S Kawahara. Half rhymes in japanese rap lyrics and knowledge of similarity. Journal of East Asian Linguistics, Jan 2007.

Is it possible?
