Ever get a bit of a song stuck in your head and you just don't know what it is?
Of course you do...
This is troublesome because these fragments generally include no decipherable lyrics to Google, only just a tune.
I've had some success identifying my mystery earworms using a technique I call Awesome Hum. I record all that I can communicate on the matter to youtube and then generally post it in Yahoo answers music forum or on my facebook... but people often make fun of me and have no useful feedback.
Here is my latest venture, to discover the source of a soulful wail which probably harkens from the era of James Ingram and Billy Ocean... not to say it is one of these artists, but that's just a very general guiding guess as to what it evokes in my head.
I am debuting my latest Awesome Hum here on the forum, because I have confidence in readers wide-ranging musical familiarity and know that you are respectful enough not to make fun of me, or at least to do so in an interesting or useful way.
For your listening pleasure:
