I found a track I heard ONCE in a club 25 years ago by singing it into the feature on Google to find tunes by humming them … i was floored.


JealousAd2873

I remember spending months trying to find "kids" by MGMT, it was always playing on TV shows, the radio etc but I couldn't discern the lyrics. I ended up finding it because it turned up on a FIFA game


Gekkoisgek

> FIFA game 09 baby!


just-a-random-accnt

Feeling this - blink-182... Wasn't 25 years ago, i had the chorus stuck in my head, but I don't know the lyrics. Hummed it into Google and it found

NiNj4_C0W5L4Pr

Download Soundhound app and open it up when you hear a song you like. Or you can try humming/singing into the app to see if it recognizes the tune.


flopjul

Or Shazam


Murles-Brazen

Yes and it turns out the whole song is ass except for the one lyric.


Jamppitz

This happened to me with other song, i dont remember which tho.


shalomworld

This, my guy, is the textbook definition of irony.


Sunflower_Seeds000

One time I was watching a video and wanted to know the name of the song. Nowhere in the description was listed, so I went to the comments, since there's always someone who says what song it is. I started to scroll and then BOOM! I found a comment ***I MADE*** saying the name of the song and the artist, from about a year before, hahaha. I thanked my past self and still laugh about it. (It's not the only time I've surprised myself).

Every few years i search for a poem we did at highschool. There’s still only three results. Two of them are mine trying to find it, and one other who hasn’t responded to say whether they found it yet!


Sunflower_Seeds000

I hope one day you find it. Maybe you have the answer within you.

DeeDarkKnight

I just remember the tune from childhood and never found it ![gif](giphy|qQdL532ZANbjy)


NotAnotherAmerican

There's an app out there, I don't remember the name, but you hum the tune for a bit and it tells you what the song is.


TopSituation1649

Google. Its Google.


Working-Telephone-45

Freaking Google why you gotta be so convenient But yeah, Google is amazing at that, I've found sounds while humming just like 3 seconds


Rabbulion

Please tell me how to do this, because I have somehow never been able to find Google image search or this.


-_1_2_3_-

have you tried googling it?


RavenBrannigan

I was showing google lens to my family at the weekend. My brother had a unique looking hair gel that he said you could only get at this one Barbour shop. I took a picture with google lens and found a dozen places selling it for cheaper than he was buying it. They said it was handy but wouldn’t work on most things. I took a picture of the light fitting in the restaurant we were in and found it for sale then took a picture of a plant and identified the plant. It he nearly thought it was witch craft.


Partickal37

Shazam


NotAnotherAmerican

I scrolled down more and someone mentioned it. Shazam. The app is Shazam.


DeeDarkKnight

Tried Shazam but that hadn't worked either...it was a tune from childhood


YourLocaIWeirdo

try singing and the part of the song you know and uploading it on Vocaroo. Then you can post it on r/tipofmytongue. Someone else might guess it


DeeDarkKnight

Will try that thanks


Prudent-Bird-2012

Same man. There was a video (I don't believe it was YouTube) I watched years ago when I was like 6 or 7 l, it had a Japanese song in the background with Dragon Ball GT being what it was about. It was Goku and Vegeta with halos over their heads fighting Jiren or whatever his name was. I have been searching for that song for years but as I'm in my 30s now, I doubt I'll ever find it again. I don't care about the video, I just want the song.


LennerKetty

I spent like almost 20 years. It was Overdrive by Katy Rose


trulymadlybigly

For me it was the song The Funeral by Band of Horses. Wasn’t 20 years though it was a few days but those days were long bro


LuxAgaetes

Hahah I actually had this album back in the day. Thanks to Mean Girls, I think


DeliriousShovel

Partway through those 20 years, I may have just ended things if I were you. I spent the vast majority of my mental energy and Internet usage for 2 days trying to place "The Ocean" by Led Zeppelin, based only on 1.5 seconds of humming/breathing that plant does midway through.. that really did feel like my sanity was stretching a bit. But, man, that validation when you find it lol.


OwnAfternoon8786

Tokyo Shoe Shine Boy. A snippet showed up in Tobert Altmans M.A.S.H. and I chased it for decades. I think it was a version of Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy, which is also a banger

Yeaaaaaahhh hey yeaaaaaaaah


Maddox309

Search querie: song that goes tada ta de dun


dedpah0m

You'll be surprised, but this actually worked for me. Google has a service that you can hum a tune to and it will tell you the name of the song. Amazing.


SirThiridim

For me it was the song Africa (Voodoo Master) I was looking for it for YEARS until a DJ on Twitch played it and I have a browser extension that can find songs that are playing in the background so I finally found it


Straight_Commission9

same but i was watching YouTube... and used Shazam for the first time for it


TheBlackOwl2003

For me it was Coldplay-Viva La vida. I first heard the song in an episode of the Simpson and that song really got me, I spent 7 years looking for it because I didn't know the title of the episode and wasn't able to look the specific song I heard but one day when I wasn't even looking, I stumbled upon a yt shorts with that song in the background and they tagged the title. I was so happy! Now I listen to the song almost everyday.


Trymantha

This one stands out to me the most as the most wild when that song came out here it was massive you actively had to go out of your way to not hear it


TheBlackOwl2003

I was only 5 yo the year of the song I think I just heard it one time and it got engraved in my brain for the rest of my childhood


RhondaLoving

It took me 30 years to find blue Monday


JagsOnlySurfHawaii

How did it feel when you finally figured out


RhondaLoving

Well I said 30 years ago in the comments a little bit back but actually I think it was about 40 years ago trying to figure out blue Monday and it was such a relief when I finally did figure it out I used sleeping and thinking about it in order to dream about it and it finally came to me enough that I was able to use the Internet which did not exist as it does today along time ago and I was able to put in enough of the lyrics to identify it and it was such a relief and it was just as good if not better than I recall and of course I found orgies version of it too I like both of them it just depends on my mood and which decade I want to pretend to be mine set in. I think it’s remarkable that people from different age groups love that song so much it really shows just how extraordinary that piece of music is as in timeless.


Mom-atm

Tell me how does it feel?


Nipsey88

That should have been simple, just google "dum dum dubadubdadubaduba dum dum dum dum" EDIT: Googled that and it didn't work, obviously need to work on my onomatopoeia.


donaciano2000

Same song for me. Oooh I'm envious. Now you get to hear True Faith.

I spent over a decade wondering about a childhood song i once heard. No lyrics, not even the melody, nothing remembered. Just that there was something missing. And then one day i heard it. On a ranboo livestream clip. Intense reverse searching later and boom, Dreamscape by 009 Sound System.


JPSWAG37

Everyone makes fun of that song, but I always loved it. Now I almost cry when I think about the good old days on YouTube.

Tom's dinner for me.


Soatch

One time I was at a stoplight and on one of the corners was Tom’s Restaurant. That made me think of the song Tom’s Diner. I thought that when I got to where I was going I would play it on YouTube. A minute later I was flipping through the radio station and Tom’s Diner was playing on one of them.


Parking-Television88

I remembered a song i heard in a meme edit after like 5 years, it was swimming pools


No_Law2531

I knew the melody and maybe 2 words Heard the song as a kid in the backseat of my parents car all the time coming home from holidays. Looked for like 25 years to find it never did.... until one night I'm visiting them, and during a commercial for big brother, my mom is chatting about something, and I hear the melody. I GLUE MY EYES TO THE TV!!! My mom asked "what's wrong?" I asked what's the name of this song? She said "96 tears" very casually I opened my phone, went to YouTube and I played that song and felt like a curse had been lifted from me!!!


SchwaEnjoyer

Why does this comment rhyme so well  I knew the melody *   and maybe 2 words   Heard the song as a kid ***  in the backseat / of my parents car   all the time / coming home from holidays.   Looked for like ***** 25 years **** to find it / never did *** until one night ***** I'm visiting them  and during a commercial / for big brother   my mom is chatting about something and I hear the melody * I GLUE MY EYES TO THE TV!!! * My mom asked "what's wrong?" ** I asked / what's the name of this song? **   She said "96 tears" **** very casually * I opened my phone, / went to YouTube and I played that song *** and felt like a curse / had been lifted from me!!! *

mike_headlesschicken

yes, it was like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders... I didn't know the original lyrics


benbombsuperman

I only knew the part of the song from the bully Maguire dance scene in Spider-Man 3. The song is people get up and drive your funky soul by James brown

There's a song that lost in time for me that I can't remember. No words, no melody, only the emotion.

Multiple, especially if you count when I only remembered an acoustic solo or less. Guano Apes - Lord of the Board - the earliest one I can remember Monkey 3 - Icarus - almost 10 years and dozens of hours of searching for this one Slipknot - Snuff Miku - Love is War - Anti-Material Mix Miku - Nebula - HaruP Remix - First Miku Song I ever heard

There was a song that had that deep, charming voice like the Editors singing about going over the moon or something related to the moon, that I heard once on the radio and never heard again and it's taking up about 15% of my brain at all times


No-Dragonfruit7121

Alors on danse - stromae I thought the line was i love guns....but i really liked the beat for it, and heard it in a 5 sec tiktok video


CoatedCrevice

wtf does the caption and picture have to do with each other??


Jamppitz

I thought the same, it either represents anger when trying to find song or overwhelming happiness when it has been found.


LamyT10

Heart of Courage Try it. Just in case it is that song for you.


iAmVonexX

Two steps from hell - heart of courage Thank me later


BromStyle

No particular song in mind, but I had this experience a couple of times when I vaguely remembered songs I heard as a child, with only recalling fragments of English text (or what I, as a non native speaker, had heard as a child). It's always a pleasure to eventually find one of those songs.

"My ordinary life" by living tombstone. Also "take it off" by ke$ha. And "animals" by martin garrix. (Last one took like 5 years to find)


ToxicSloth505

Literally just last week...the song was Pennsylvania 6-5000 One of my favorite songs


thatonebrassguy

Have you ever tried finding a classical music piece but then you discover it a month later by chance


NotAnotherAmerican

Oh shit. Gooey by Glass Animals. I heard it on the radio a long time ago and remembered the melody but not the words and i never heard it again. One day a few years later I'm at a grocery store and that shit is on their radio. I immediately Google the lyrics and find it. Glass Animals, everyone. They've got a few great songs. Gooey is my favorite.


Suspicious-Sink-638

I still havent found it it's 6 years already, idk it's lyrics were I'm gonna make you pay or something like that

LeviAUTOTUNED

im trying to find the song i think about but i only know "cus like"😔


NiNj4_C0W5L4Pr

An hour?? Fuck Off. I spent 25+ YEARS doing this! The only thing that saved my ass and helped me find the song was the invention of Google. Even then I spent several more YEARS on Google trying to figure out how to search for a song with only a few words. Then I had to wait for a generous population to fill in the repository of songs/lyrics on the internet before I could search for the song. *For those that need to know how to search for a song on Google with only a few words*: In the Google Search Bar type "Lyrics" (without quotation marks) then enter every single word or phrase that you can think of then search. If that doesn't help type anything that may help the search. What year/decade the song was made. Who sang the song. What genre of music it is.


ShowbizTinkering

For me it was the FNaF 2 song “Five More Nights” I heard it once in the third grade and I spent like 5 years looking for it and I finally found it in 2023. It was the best feeling I’ve ever had ever experienced

kiks089

That Japanese song from the 90's with the chorus that starts with "Ohla" then ends with "Orochimaru". Been looking for that for almost 20 yrs lol


SoggyHotdish

You can just Google that one lyric now lol but yes I remember


flopjul

Again and Again - Basto I remembered the song from a vacation to France when we drove through Belgium(im from the Netherlands)... Also King - Years&Years


FlyDownG_ames

For me it was a song with no lyrics whatsoever, so it was extremely hard to find. Heart of Courage


Breakmastajake

Oh man, I went down a wild rabbit hole, trying to figure out which song went "do do do do do, do do do do do do". It was maddening. Turns out the song was "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" by Crosby Stills and Nash, for those interested.


UberQueefs

Tequila was surprisingly easy to find I wonder why

I found the song Tom’s Diner by Suzanne Vega, DNA by googling the whistle tune, it was driving me nuts not knowing what the song was called

StillNotEatenByBears

Yeah I know that feeling.. But once I have a really strange experience. When I was sleeping I have a dream about me singing a song. You know, when you sleep and there is a song or music it’s beautiful but when you wake up you realize that this is just unreal song. But not this time. I remembered words and googleed it. And it was “I can never go home anymore” by Shangri-Las! It was cool!


atom12354

I spent several years trying to find the kids series called cubix which was one of my favs as a kid, was hella good when i found it, but now the mission is to find a kids movie about a girl and a black dragon locked in a mountain with a dragon seal on a gigantic door, her dad is a general and the dragon has a curse and is originally a guy. Ai, google and my own mom has no clue what im talking about, the movie is played in asia and was most likely made between 1980-1995.

Then you listen all the song and are "meh, in my head was better" and dump it. Because is about the search, not the finding

Spent years looking for "You're The Voice" by John Farnham. Didn't remember the lyrics. Just the chorus. I only remembered that the choir sang "we're not gonna..." and then didn't know the rest. So was looking for a protest song on the Internet. Wouldn't show up on any of the lists. Hummed it to one of the apps that recognize the songs and there it was!! Worth all the billions poured into AI. edit: typos

There was a band several decades ago that toured with Sevendust. Their name was just "One". For the longest time I could only remember the song lyrics, " I will fight for my point of view, even if all that I fight for drastically differs from you". One day I remembered where it was from and was floored! Tried to find them online but they seem to have zero footprint now. So their album is forever lost to me.

So many songs from the mid to late 90''s pop up only to nearly drive me insane until finally I remember one lyric, the chorus or enough notes to hum into Google Search. Most recent was Luscious Jackson's Naked Eye. Just popped into my head in the shower but only the melody. That was pure torture until I recalled a rando article I read months ago that said you could find songs by simply humming it for Google search.
