"Las Mañanitas" is a traditional Mexican birthday song. "Cánticos" means just "chants".
Huh! So it is. But the couple versions I found started with a verse with a different melody before going to Happy Birthday.
I just tried this with a melody I've had stuck in my head for days - no results. Then I tried "Happy Birthday" and got three results: "Las Mananitas" by Canticos "Iyi Ki Dogdun Melissa", by Eser Ulun "Iyi Ki Dogdun Zarife", by Eser Ulun I'm no Pavarotti, but I can sing on pitch and have played the violin for 40 years. EDIT: Heh, "Iyi Ki Dogdun" is Turkish for Happy Birthday, and the links would have taken me to YouTu…

What app are you using? I tried “what song is this”, and it just directs me to a search result on my iPhone.
The Google search app named “Google” on iOS 13.7, iPhone X. Norway. The button is there for me, and hum to search works. Screenshot: https://snipboard.io/ITZN9A.jpg When I first installed the app after reading the article, to test it out, I couldn’t find it even when I pressed the microphone symbol. But after rereading the article I installed it again and when I went and tapped the microphone I saw the Search a song…
Immediately after updating, there was no button. Maybe something changed on their end or something needed to sync in my phone.
How does this impact copyrights? Is there a new class of performances that become easy to charge licensing fees for?
Just tried it out on my throwaway Android. Wow, this actually works really well! As I write this from my iPhone, this might singlehandedly be the reason why I switch to a Pixel instead of another iPhone this fall. I was always disappointed that even after acquiring Shazam, Siri could never seem to correctly guess what song was playing unless I had a perfect recording. Anytime I go to a live concert venue, or even a c…
1) A "I'm finished humming" button
2) A way to tell Google what song I just hummed when it guessed wrong
It failed for me on "Sofia" and "Peter and the Wolf" -- maybe this only works for recently popular songs?

SoundHound already did this long ago. It works pretty well.
So, I bought SoundHound 8+ years ago in a Google Market promotion offering several apps for pennies (10c, I guess?). Tried it without much hope and damn it, it worked well. Sometimes it goofed, but truth be told, it may be my problem.
Also, it had the ability to identify covers in a crowded bar, or non-playback live versions. Shazam, which was very popular at the time, admittedly couldn't do any of that - in their FAQ (which I could not find right now) they even told that if Shazam recognize a live version, it must be either a playback or a player with microsecond precision repeatability.
Only available on mobile, huh? Reminds me of Google Translate on photos/images, which has been available for years on mobile but never on web. I hope this doesn't become a trend.
The reverse is frustrating also: no reverse image search on mobile.
