When you hear a new song on the radio and you’re desperately trying to pick a notable phrase so you can google it later

Gather round, kids. Let me tell you a story from ye olden days because I am tumblr elderly. I used to DJ for a radio station. I played records and CDs and we had station IDs from bands on 8 track cartes. People would call me asking what songs were–but they had to mumble, sing, or play the song on an instrument. I had someone call me to ask what Smells Like Teen Spirit was when it was a single. They played it on an accordion. I forgot about it until a moment ago when I saw this post.

#that one post with the thing #(as for OP‚ the zillion people in the notes recommending Shazam are absolutely correct) #(it doesn’t even need to be your phone: any recording device will do) #(you can just play the recording for Shazam later) #music #proud citizen of The Future #this post was queued because my to-reblog list is too long and I didn’t want to dump it on you all at once
