\"\"<\/a>I really do love this app Sound Hound.\u00a0 I don’t spend a lot of time cruising iTunes for interesting apps nor the latest apps.\u00a0\u00a0 But sometimes people I know do and way before I hear about them! \u00a0 Sex God introduced me to Sound Hound when he used it on my car radio to figure out who was singing a song we were both enjoying.<\/p>\n

So every so often I use the app when my radio’s TEXT button gives me no information.\u00a0 And its become incredibly handy.\u00a0 Not only does it name that song but it, of course, gives you a direct link to iTunes to BUY that song if you love it so much.\u00a0 When I was cruising some of the pop radio stations (which I do when my alt rock stations have commercials) I sometimes here a new song that resonates with me.\u00a0 Like Snoop Dog’s Young Wild & Free<\/em>.. heard it, loved it and bought it right there through my Sound Hound.\u00a0 Which worked great cuz then I KNEW a song with Snoop Dog played Coachella with Dr. Dre.<\/p>\n

And the other day I was wondering how did Sex God know that song I’d put on a disk for him was Hockey?\u00a0 I didn’t think he was as familiar with the band as I.\u00a0 And then my brain clicked it in, Sound Hound!\u00a0 Duh.\u00a0 He’d used his phone which had the app to find out what band was on the disk when it played.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So then when Sex God and I were out at The Detroit Club and the DJ in between bands was playing HIDEOUS music and we were bored, so I whipped out my iPhone and booted up Sound Hound.\u00a0 Sex God told me it would never work, but not only did it WORK it gave us the lyrics!\u00a0 It was hilarious just as something to do!\u00a0 Didn’t change how much we disliked the song, but now we could laugh at the lyrics also!<\/p>\n

Top it all off I recently found ANOTHER way to use Sound Hound.\u00a0 Sex God and I are always joking about how undecipherable Radiohead’s lyrics are.\u00a0 And I love their music and want to sing along.\u00a0 Then I had a little light bulb go off.\u00a0 Sound Hound!\u00a0 So I used my music app to play Karma Police<\/em> by Radiohead and then, with the music still playing, opened my Sound Hound app and told it to identify the song.\u00a0 In less than a minute it had identified the song and there, playing on the little screen, were the lyrics!<\/p>\n

I don’t know which is more cool.. using two apps at once, or enjoying singing full belt the words to my favorite songs!!!<\/p>\n

Although, honestly, Radiohead’s lyrics are much better as indecipherable gibberish than meaningful words. lmao<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
