Anybody ever played Cranium? Humans cannot name songs their friends are humming. Therefore, a true AI should also not be able to, or perhaps it's the singularity at the first moment they can...
Songs get stuck in your head because you can’t remember the ending, e.g. I’m a Barbie Gi- To get a song out of your head, design an ending that resolves. The rest is left as an exercise to the reader.
Here’s the song for the curious: https://youtu.be/wcAkEl6AV5Y?si=CI93V_Kp_ve_lGWG

There's a jingle completely missing from the Internet or any record I can find. It's the "Sport Chalet" jingle common on Southern California radios in the late 80's and early 90's. It goes "Sport Chalet!" in this heroic way, then "we take you to the limit!". It's very distinctive, and I've found people singing it on YouTube, but no recording of the original. It probably exists on someone's random cassette tape of rad…
The message then rolls that you shouldn't smoke because your early death will deprive you of important moments like this one.
This PSA made far more of an impression than most do -- for example, it's mentioned on Friends -- and I think about it often as an example of how the same basic argument can be made in weak or strong terms. It may have been too strong for its own good; I once asked a friend for help finding a video of it and the response was "Oh, I know exactly the commercial you're talking about. I won't help you look for it; I hate that commercial and I don't want to see it again."
I never was able to find it.
Proud of myself I nailed the key. Does this song have some romance story behind it? Probably just my brain confusing nearby neurons.
Extraordinarily frustrating that it needs a mobile device (as opposed to, say, even Chrome only).
Still, thanks internet. Now I'm back to a 100% success ratio (lifetime) of "if I get a song stuck in my head I will dig until I know its name".
Just tried on my pixel device. Can't say it worked. You hit the assistant thing, say what song is this, then hum as it prompts you. Then stop humming, but it never seems to finish the query. You tap the flat sound wave thing, and it takes that as a cancellation. Shrug.
This has always been my experience too, never had it work

Here's a commercial with that jingle at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M76ABmdbkTI

Wow! The last time I looked was more than 2 years ago, so this video was uploaded since then. Thanks for posting. I don't recall the vocal being a choral group, but rather a very masculine solo voice, but it's definitely the same jingle.

I just tried it. You have to hum until it says stop. It keeps prompting you to keep going
I just tried it with a guitar driven song I've had stuck in my head lately. I only remember about 5 seconds of the chorus, but it's what I would consider a fairly memorable and catchy hook.
