Have you ever had a tune that you just could not identify? I'd long wanted a copy of Khachaturian's Sabre Dance, but not knowing what it was called was unable to get a copy. Only by chance did I read a review of a Danny Elfman track which raised Khachaturian's name. Once I had a name, it was but a few minutes to find and purchase an MP3. There's a tune that was used by Showcase during a promotion of their Halloween lineup, that I've been trying to identify for years. The promo featured a happy animated bat swaying back and forth while this bubbly tune plays. I even went so far as to email the station in hopes of learning the name of that tune, but to no avail.

Lyric searches often help me find and identify some song I may have heard on the radio, but if the song is just music - no words - I'm stuck. What I would love is for a way to search sound. Let me hum a tune into my computer mic and then spit back at me the most likely songs to match.

But - until Google, or some other company, devise such a search tool, I'm left wondering just what the heck is the name of this song?!?
