SongTapper Guesses Mario Bros. Theme
I remember MIT or some other super geek agency working on something similar where you’d hum a tune into a microphone and a highly advanced computer would tell you the name of the song. It looks like that life-saving technology has migrated onto the web in the form of SongTapper.com. Gone are the days of having a tune stuck in your head, going insane singing it to everyone you see trying desperately to find the title.
It took a few tries but surprisingly it actually got the Mario Bros. theme song. Of course, it put De-Lovely ahead of it in the results and a handful of other totally absurd songs after, but there it is. Teh internets knows what song you sing! Try it, stump it, forget the URL the next time a nameless song gets stuck in your head.
Bonus for video game music! The Mario Bros. and Zelda themes are near the top of the Most Tapped Songs list.
