shazam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dale's iPhone has this program on it now called Shazam where you point
the mic toward the sound of a song playing somewheres and it'll tell
you what the song is. I figured it would only work for really obvious
things that are pretty popular these days, but NO!! First we tried
Barenaked Ladies, then Vienna Teng, then ... yes, you guessed it,
Peter Cetera. Now, this is not to say I think Peter's not popular
these days - in fact, I tried a very low-key version of City Hall by
Vienna Teng to really test it and was floored it got her so easily.
The reason it's amazing that it got Peter is because I tried the most
obscure song I could think of by him. Scheherazade. And! I used the
very BEGINNING of the song, with the schwoooOOOOOO synths at the
beginning (sorry for the sound effects, I honestly can't think of how
else to describe those things). So there was VERY little to go on
there. Apparently it's not as obscure as I thought. It caught it
anyway and even displayed a link to a YouTube video. Which I knew
shouldn't exist because there WAS no video made for this song (should
have been but wasn't done). Turns out someone else likes the song
besides me. Someone put an image of the album cover up and played the
song in the background. I think I'd have gotten more creative and
added actual video, but, hey, whatever.

SHAZAM!!
