Name that Tune Cntd.

In response to Adam's post below, I believe there's already technology that will do that, which you can put on an iPhone. You can hum, sing, whistle etc. a tune, and the app searches for it and gives you the name of the song. About a year ago, a couple friends and I cobbled together a pretty neat party game using it. One player calls out the name of a relatively well-known song, and then assigns it to another player. That player then has to sing/humm the song well enough for the app to recognize it. Then that player picks the next song and singer. This works particularly well to get otherwise shy singers to belt out the chorus to "living on a prayer."
