I have been looking for a song I used to hear at the gym a few years ago, but never could find anyone who knew what it was.

Anyway I stumbled across this site [Midomi](http://midomi.com), where you are supposed to be able to sing a song and have the song identified from a database.

I tried a few songs, even well known ones but I couldn’t get it to work.

Can anyone else?

BTW for some reason I couldn’t see it in Firefox, I had to use IE, I don’t know if it’s a site thing or my browser. If you don’t see the option “Click and sing or hum” at the top by “artist, song or album” search then use IE
