What were the last three tracks you Shazammed?

Green Light (Chromeo Remix) by Lorde

Madame Bovary-Waltz by Hollywood Bowl Orchestra & John Mauceri

Looking At The Front Door by Main Source

Harvard Blues - Jimmy Rushing
Pola - Muniek Staszczyk
Stay with Me - Faces

i haven't shazammed in an eternity and the only time i remember having recourse to it was

March of the Siamese Children - Rogers & Hammerstein

Cause and Effect - You Think You Know Her

Electronic - Disappointed

New Order - Subculture

Xpost you Shazammed during a live performance of King and I?

That's dope

lol no it was being used as background music on an old newsreel film and I knew I knew the music but out of context I couldn't remember from where and it was driving me nuts

The one place i am afraid to do it is metal shows for music over the PA.

there are trained spotters ready to run over, point, and scream POSERRRRRRRRRRRRR

Four at Chipotle:

Papa Bear & His Cubs - Sweetest Thing on This Side of Heaven
Ultimate Painting - All I Wanna Do (yes, a cover of the Sheryl Crow song)
Bumblebee Unlimited - Lady Bug (12” Version)
Chaka Khan - Like Sugar (Switch Remix)

Giusy Ferreri - Non ti scordar mai di me

Lost Frequencies feat. Flynn - Recognise

Ornella Vanoni - Un'ora sola ti vorrei (I knew it was her, I just needed the exact title)

Chris Cornell - You Know My Name (was in a bar with my wife and they were playing a lot of bad 00s music, mostly landfill indie and pop punk with a bit of nu-metal, and we knew most of it but had no idea who this was)

The Rooks - A Girl Like You

Apollo's Apaches - Cry Me A Lie

(I already owned both of these on garage comps, was at a garage rock night and couldn't remember who did either of these)

i guess i can try to remember the situations

James Henry Jr. - Take Me Down Easy - s6e7 of bojack horseman
Silvestre Dangond & Natti Natasha - Justicia - oh god can't remember at all
Baby Keem - Orange Soda - at a weeded-out brooklyn party where i knew nobody. this was an appropriate soundtrack lol.

A fucking Shakira song. For my kid. Now she plays it on repeat. I loathe Shakira

my son is a Shakira fan, lol he still plays that world cup 2010 song!

what does Shazammed mean in the context of this thread? i'm old, tired and too lazy to go on urban dictionary.

I'm a weirdo that uses Soundhound instead.

The first two of these were at a restaurant, and the last I think was at a grocery store:

Gerald Levert - Casanova
Ian Gomm - Hold On
Courtney Jaye - Can't Behave [without DJ Quik] (This title confuses me, because it doesn't seem like the type of song that would have ever featured DJ Quik)

Calzino, it means using the Shazam app to identify a song that's playing

ah right. sounds pretty good tbh.

it's miraculous

my son is a Shakira fan, lol he still plays that world cup 2010 song!

Donovan 'Vendetta' Bennett - Egyptian Rhythm
Roisin Murphy - Pretty Gardens
Julien Dyne, Mara TK - Layer

Are you guys typing these in? You all realize you can just hold down on the song title in the app, it’ll bring up a “copy” bubble and you can just paste it into Zing or Flagging

Work smarter not harder, people

I deleted mine a year ago

But had saved them into a Spotify playlist

Pye Corner Audio, "Descent."
Antonio Sanchez, "Nar-This."
Chaz Jankel, "Glad to Know You."

“Can’t Buy Love” — Johnny Osbourne
“Corner Store” — Jah Mali
“Angelene” — Helen Gillet

Nothing As It Seems - Pearl Jam
Count Your Blessings - Mattiel
Wulfstan 2 - Beak

somehow i rarely return to tracks/artists i discover in shazam

Oops mine should be "Corner Stone" by Jah Mali, not "Corner Store."

xps

"That waka waka vomit song?"

yeah! through blunt repetition I've learned to love it!

The Soundcarriers - Driver
Luca Nieri - Forever Home (< both from Lodge 49)
Eleventyseven - Divers in a Hurricane (Terrace House)

i think the last three songs i shazammed were three songs that it didn't recognize, so i deleted it a few years ago

The Song Is You - Hal Schaefer
New Village Center - Johnny Lytle
Volks Volkswagen Blues - Gilberto Gil

Prayer For Amerikkka Part 1 & 2 - Jaimie Branch
Lay Back In The Groove - Elusions ft Limon Wilson
Queen Of The Minstrels - Mr Day

I can't remember much about these, except that they were playing in a waiting room and I was bored enough to be curious about their seemingly designed-to-be-ignorable playlist:

Wild Rivers - Speak Too Soon
Imaginary Future & Kina Grannis - I Will Spend My Whole Life Loving You
The Head and the Heart - People Need a Melody

Bousmara Division N°1 - "East Coast Rap Vs. West Coast Rap"
Peverelist & Kowton - "Raw Code" (Surgeon Remix)
Fatima Al Qadiri Feat. Naygow - "Galby"
(during a dj set by Batu last summer)

Quantic - Atlantic Oscillations
Damon Jee - Chamaniac
Shaun 36.5

I have no recollection of that Shaun song but listening again and it's apparently a k-pop song with that retro faux-cha cha 8 bit thing... kind of like Dram's Cha Cha or Drake's Hotline Bling. I love that particular kind of sound. I guess it would've gotten stale fast if it had become a bigger trend.

Does Shazam have geolocation to tell you where exactly you heard a song? I don't really frequent places that play k-pop in mexico. I don't even know any that do... probably heard it in a clothing store.

xps
"That waka waka vomit song?"
yeah! through blunt repetition I've learned to love it!

"waka waka" is a good song!

the last one I can remember was Michael Brun & Kah-Lo - Spice

for me these are

1. j balvin & bad bunny - la canción
2. paula abdul - forever your girl
3. cigarettes after sex - falling in love

situations being

1. at mexican restaurant for (former) cow*rker's goodbye gathering. i knew *of* the song before due to being aware of the j balvin/bad bunny album but hadn't actually heard it -- really liked it a lot.
2. one of the lousy classic hits stations in my city is finally starting to work more material into its dusty playlist. i was pleasantly surprised to hear it play another paula abdul song besides "straight up" (very rarely they'll also do "opposites attract") but didn't remember which song it was. (i was at w*rk where radio is our only allowed option for music.)
3. this was playing on the noncommercial/community station. actually enjoyed it + promptly posted about it on ilm after lol

la cancion is indeed excellent

a top single of the year for me, easily

1. The Stroppies - Cellophane Car (heard this on Basque radio, and it's such a huge Stereolab rip-off I had to know who and what it was)
2. Elissa - Ya Merayti (used under some documentary I believe)
3. Townes van Zandt - Nothin' (MOR radio)

1. Galantis - “No Money”
2. Peter and Gordon - “A World Without Love”
3. The Ritchie Family - “The Best Disco in Town”

"best disco in town" is such a time capsule

Good thread!
