Do you have a smartphone app you would recommend?

I recommend SoundHound.

If you are listening to a song that you can't remember or don't know the name of. SoundHound will tell you. Just hold the microphone near a speaker and it will display the name.

You can also sing some lyrics into the microphone. It can figure it out the name that way too. I haven't tried that feature yet.

Sometimes, on a rare occasion, it will display the wrong song or no song.

I just did it with this song.

I found (I Just) Died in Your Arms by Cutting Crew with SoundHound and thought you'd enjoy it too!

Then I find it on YouTube and post it here.

I use Sound Hound often.

The app I recommend is for musicians: DaTuner Lite.... A free guitar tuner, always in your pocket and far better than any physical tuner I've ever bought.

Such a tool could have come in handy to me so many times, but, as you indicated, I bet it's very imperfect and most of my requests would stump it. Still might be worth it if expectations are kept in check.

Give it try! It's free! If you don't like it, delete it. I find it's about 90% accurate for me. Sometimes I can bearly hear a song and still figures it out. Shazam's another option. And as I just learned from the comment above. Google will do it too. "Ok, Google. What is this song?"

@JohnINFP Awesome! Thanks for the info.

@Rossy92 My pleasure!

Thanks! It just found my new favorite song!

Cold. Harsh.
We could be friends.

You're so good at beating dead horses! LMAO!!

Newman explained to the Chicago Tribune that he was adopting the role of "a nut that no one would take seriously."

On the surface, the song is making fun of little people, but "short" is meant in a figurative sense, intending to poke fun at people who are short-tempered and small-minded

Guess you didn't actually listen to or don't understand the lyrics. "Short People are just the same as you and I. All men are brothers until the day they die."

What if the best you can do is hum? For example, an orchestral piece.

There is a website that lets you do that.... Can't remember what it's called, but it exists!
