another free google service

Or you type into Google "what's the song that goes dun dundun dooo dodododo dooo" and you somehow get the right result because some other monkey asked the same question on a message board and by some stroke of luck got an answer.

This worked for the funeral dancing song because I couldn't remember what it was from but it was stuck in my head for a week.

Thanks for reminding me of this

Good idea! Although sometimes YouTube comes back immediately with a violation warning email, but sometimes it takes YEARS for them to flag a video.

I got all the Buffy animation I could find to make a season 8 intro and that shit was up for a decade before it got a claim

Wait... you can search a song by humming now?

I've been waiting for that for AGES.

You can, but it never works in my experience.
- It's worked every time in my experience
- Same. I think I've had it actually work like once out of 50 tries
If you use the Google assistant either with the Google app on ios or built into some android phones you can just ask it "what's this some" and then hum it
- Worked with smoke on the water, not with the pink panther theme. Some of the easiest songs to hum, imo. Sure, I suck at this, but still...anyway, something extra to try when I can't remember the name of a song. Thanks!

Problem is, you only have like, 3 free trials. After that you need a new account

piracy aint stealing if you can't own the music 😉

Ask social media, writing down how you think the instruments sound because you don't know a single lyric (or it has none).

Just post it somewhere with the wrong name. A pedant will come along to breathlessly correct you.
- Good ol' Murphy's Law.

Hope that nobody realizes that the clip you posted was recorded from a porn.

Wow, I literally did this yesterday cause I couldn’t find a song from a tik tok my son was watching and all I had was a small clip I recorded.

No copyright strike ever came, though. Eventually I found it on Spotify by listening to similar vibe playlists.

actually quite effective, when I uploaded a video from 1993, I got copyright striked cuz it contained a song from 2012
