    You kids have it so easy.

    Now you can literally ask your phone “hey what is this song” and hum your earworm and Google just tells you the song. (Default function on at least Android Google Assistant for like years now)

    Imagine getting a song stuck in your head on you way to work/school but it’s playing on the radio and you didn’t catch the host saying the name of the song.

    And you don’t really even know what they we’re saying and can’t imitate the song to sing it to anyone to ask what it is without going all misheard lyrics. Which you might have to do.

    Or just listen an hour longer and if it’s a hit they play it again. And then you can record it on a cassette to play it for yourself.

    “She’s just one of the girls, she is not one of those one-in-a-million. As if to have and to hold would be holding me down with love and addiction. I think I’ve found someone, I’ve found someone to help me work it out…”

    Kind of a soft alternative pop song from the mid-90s. I grew up in the northeast and listened to a lot of TMBG, Violent Femmes, and Talking Heads, so it’s possible that it’s from someone slightly adjacent to them, but it also might have just been on the pop radio station. It’s not “One In A Million” by Bosson, Ne-Yo, Aaliyah, or Trixter. I’m pretty sure I didn’t dream its existence.

    I eventually found it by coincidence - my local public radio station played it. In cold blood by Alt-J. I was never gonna find it. I don’t even really like the song, it just bothered me that I couldn’t name it. Support public radio. kxt.org

    Reminds me of everyone trying to figure out the lyrics of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” which nobody could so we all just remembered it by the opening guitar riff … BAN-GAH-DANK!!

    New blood joins this hood

    And quickly he’s a dude

    Some Metallica song i guess

    I was a huge Metallica fan when I was a teen, but before we had the internet and I couldn’t look up the lyrics, I had to write them down as I heard them. And I still hear that song this way, even though I know better.
