Could be that it was just one of them, not both - but I’m trying to find the music for it and I can’t remember the name and google is no help when I hum it or type in the few words I “think” I remember: “and I feel like I’m dying”. So I did my best on the piano on part of the melody/chorus in this youtube clip - anybody recognize it? https://youtu.be/UTtgfrrmYAY

How awesome!! Also, re the Watson thread, this is why AI still isn't ready to take over all human tasks.

Full disclosure: If it weren't for DuckDuckGo, I would have been here two weeks from now, trying to remember the song.  I did a search for "Simon and Garfunkel like I'm dying" and as soon as the results came up, I knew which song it was and double checked it against jodi's piano snippet. Could even sing along. But I'm not sure I ever knew the title was American Tune until today.

When I have a fragment of a song stuck in my head, I search for “lyrics fragment”. Like “lyrics I laid traps for troubadours”. This usually works even if you don’t get all the words right, like “lyrics I laid tracks for troubadours”, or was it “Anastasia screamed in pain” or was it “Anastasia screamed in vain”? Not sure if you will get the right song if you search for “lyrics ‘scuse me while I kiss this guy” or “lyrics there’s a bathroom on the right”.

I just recently learned that it wasn't an original tune... perhaps I learned it here at WTF? So it's not like I am channeling years of hymnal knowledge or anything. (Though so many years of choral accompaniment has resulted in my really liking a lot of hymns.) | |||
