Lyrics plus Google -- wonderful things.

[azurelunatic]

The song that I've been liking the beat of since I first heard it is "No One Knows", by Queens of the Stone Age. I love Google. Why did I not think of this two years or whatever ago when I liked the beat but could only remember fragments of lyrics and the music?

Sometimes, for a geek, I am still stuck in the stone age. But I was thinking of a more elaborate solution -- a music search engine, something that could take a fuzzy input of someone's guess at a tune, and see what came back. Or an image search engine, that could take an image input. (Does anyone know what the image that looks cross between a heart and a five-pointed star means? It's probably either religious or a band thing, but I have no clue which.)

I've seen systems over here (.uk) that work over mobile phones.. you play a bit of a track into the mike and it texts you back with the name and artist.. I don't know if it would work with a hummed or whistled tune, or whether it has to be the original (i.e. on the radio or something)..

Simplest would be the original.
