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

    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.

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

    Wait… you can search a song by humming now?

    I’ve been waiting for that for AGES.

            It’s the native Google app. If you do a search using the mic button there should be a button towards the bottom that says search a song and then you can hum or sing a song and it recognizes it almost every time

        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!

      Just post it somewhere with the wrong name. A pedant will come along to breathlessly correct you.

    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.
