Name that tune…

How about the other way around, name that song by lyric!

LyricRat allows you to type in lyrics and it will tell you what songs they come from. I love this! What a dream this would have been when deciding on songs for a mixtape!

A similar trick is to use the library catalog to find song titles on our CDs. In the catalog Keyword Search select “Music”, search in “Notes” and then type in a song title or part of one. I tried the word “Folsom”.  I could easily identify a bunch of CDs with the song “Folsom Prison blues” on them.

    What a great site! It is the perfect cure for when you can’t figure out the name of the song running through your head. Thanks!
