Tap That Tune < 11:11:01 PM>.

Ever have a song stuck in your head, but can’t remember what it’s called, or even who sang it? If you at least know how it goes, try this astonishing Web site, suggested to me by a reader: It’s SongTapper.com.

Basically, you tap your Space bar in the rhythm of the melody notes-”Lu-cy in the sky-yyyy, with di-i-a-monds” or whatever-and, incredibly, the site guesses which song you meant. In my very few tries, it did amazingly well. (It also offers a link to the iTunes music store so you can hear 30 seconds of the actual song for free, to confirm its wisdom.)

Too funny. It works. We tried "Yellow Submarine" and 'bingo', got it right away. It detects both the start and release of the spacebar.
