You kids have it so easy.

Now you can literally ask your phone "hey what is this song" and hum your earworm and Google just tells you the song. (Default function on at least Android Google Assistant for like years now)

Imagine getting a song stuck in your head on you way to work/school but it's playing on the radio and you didn't catch the host saying the name of the song.

And you don't really even know what they we're saying and can't imitate the song to sing it to anyone to ask what it is without going all misheard lyrics. Which you might have to do.

Or just listen an hour longer and if it's a hit they play it again. And then you can record it on a cassette to play it for yourself.
