Have you ever heard of a song and you didn't know who sang it and what is the song title? But since you love it you may try to catch the lyrics and Google it, that's probably the easiest way you can do, but what if you don't know the lyrics but you do know the beat to it?
Either way lyrics or no lyrics, I found a site that will help you search a song. All you need is a mic for your computer and you're set. Sing parts of the song or even hum the music and it will try it's best to locate that song or somethin' similar.
I've actually tried it and of course it's not 100% accurate. But it's probably i'm a bad singer or "hummer" hah. Tryin to rap on it doesn't get any good results, my rap result are music from the orchestra, weird.. Beatboxin' doesn't help either, try doin Firestarter from Prodigy and songs from Church turn up, funny..
But some songs are accurate even with my "weed whacker" voice. Tried songs from Lifehouse, Maroon 5, Michael Jackson, and a chinese song from Beyond and got accurate results, first on the list even. Even an old song like Earth Angel which I liked from the movie "Back to the future", a 50's song, just knew that the song was originally from Elvis Presley, not bad.
Although it didn't actually helped me find a song yet, I played with it all night, just as geeks do to see how well it works, go ahead and give it a try, have fun.
