Also attempted Grieg's Hall of the Mountain King and got this, not quite what I expected but close enough: https://youtu.be/e1kwr-C78mI
3/3 for pop, 0/3 for Bach, Sousa, Aaron Copeland.
I'd love for this to improve. I'm a jazz musician, and I know hundreds of tunes, but can't for the life of me remember their names when I'm on the spot. So it's hard for me to suggest a tune when I'm playing with a band.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
"Ei wrote the lyrics while walking home from a Japanese student demonstration protesting against a continued US military presence in the country, expressing his frustration at the failed efforts." "An instrumental version of the song was played by NASA over the radio for the Gemini VII astronauts as mood music, thereby becoming one of the first pieces of music sent to humans in space."
Interesting all around but I found the beef part hilarious
There's a video of a streamer saying 'hey google, play the mexican doot doot song' and it plays, and this reminds me of that. Unfortunately I can't find the video because I think google strips out 'hey google' even when you're specifically searching for the phrase 'hey google'.
I don't have time to finish it but i would love it if somebody would make this

For about two weeks I had this beautiful haunting melody stuck in my head. It would just turn on at certain times in the day and I'd find myself humming it. I have around 3500 CDs, mostly jazz but boatloads of classical stuff too. For days I rifled through bins of CDs (which is something I love doing) looking for the source. No dice.
Finally, a breakthrough: One day the song was playing in my head and I noticed the timbre of the instrument was a clarinet. And it was kind of raspy, which was weird, because the melody seemed more classical and classical clarinetists have super clean tone. I immediately knew to start looking for Don Byron albums, because he probably makes up 90% of my clarinet jazz albums. Sure enough, after a couple hours I found it. The last tune off the "Tuskeegee Experiments" album is a Schumann (!) piece called Auf einer Burg:
Two things I wish this had, 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?
