There's a classic episode of Married With Children from 1991 in which Al drives his family crazy while he tries to remember an old song. The problem? He only knows a tiny bit of it, and sings that part to anyone who'll listen. Here's the clip:
A website I was just told about today, midomi.com, is here to actually solve this problem. Hum a bit of that song that's been stuck in your head all day and Midomi can identify it for you! I tried two songs...a random Billy Joel song that's been stuck in my head, and an Outkast song. It worked on Billy Joel, but not Outkast (though, maybe the software would just prefer I let 'Kast bust flows on their own).
A little favorite section of mine is where people record themselves singing popular songs. It's just as cringe inducing as karaoke, without all that awkward eye contact. They even have an application for the iPhone.
Just another great way that the internet is working to make our lives a little bit easier...
