Shazam!

During the New Forest weekend I heard the most awesomest song on the radio. I'd normally make a note of some of the lyrics then Google to identify the track. Slight problem- by the time I'd realised how good the song was, there was only instrumental playing. Uh oh. Quick as a flash I started recording on my phone, but the resulting clip picked up too much background noise. Dammit! A song lost.

The other day I remembered reading about that phone number that IDs a track from a short clip. Surely that wouldn't work with such a fuzzy tinny recording? I dialled 2580, played the crackly music, and then waited.

"Brrrrriiiiiing!". "SHAZAM tagged THE SMASHING PUMPKINS: I Am One"

It only bloomin' well worked!



Rock out, people!

I'm not sure which is better, the amazingly awesome song or Billy's long hair.

Dude, it's TOTALLY Billy's hair. Though I don't like the chavvy necklace, bad bad bad...
