Song Amnesia

[cardsfansince82]

Am I the only one that has this? I'll be out and about or in the car listening to XM and hear a great song I haven't heard in a while. When I hear it I can sing along to it just fine. Hell, XM even gives me the title and artist. Just a day or two later I'll be sitting at my computer and say, "Hey, I should download that song." And....nothing. I can't come up with a title or even an artist. I can't even remember a snippet of lyrics to do a search with. This can be ridiculously frustrating.

This should help: The song always turns out to be "Good" by Better Than Ezra.

I started typing songs and artists into my blackberry or writing it down on paper because of XM amnesia...I was getting too frustrated.

Good idea. I don't have a blackberry but I could always just text it to myself on my phone.

Heh. Actually it was Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. That only took about an hour of my life I won't get back.

I had the melody of Aint No Sunshine (Bill Withers) in my head for several days, and couldn't place the song. Could hear the exact voice, but no lyrics. It was infuriating. Anyway it finally came to me. It was a good moment.

I also stick songs I come up with into my cell phone for later online listens or whatev'

I almost always just write down a lyric and google it later if a song is playing that I like. It gets tough when it's an instrumental song, like jazz or something like that.

my wife will write down "duh-DUH-du-du-du DUM..." and then won't be able to figure out what melody she meant.
