This worked for the funeral dancing song because I couldn't remember what it was from but it was stuck in my head for a week.

Good idea! Although sometimes YouTube comes back immediately with a violation warning email, but sometimes it takes YEARS for them to flag a video.

Wait... you can search a song by humming now?

I've been waiting for that for AGES.

Problem is, you only have like, 3 free trials. After that you need a new account

Ask social media, writing down how you think the instruments sound because you don't know a single lyric (or it has none).

Wow, I literally did this yesterday cause I couldn’t find a song from a tik tok my son was watching and all I had was a small clip I recorded.

No copyright strike ever came, though. Eventually I found it on Spotify by listening to similar vibe playlists.

actually quite effective, when I uploaded a video from 1993, I got copyright striked cuz it contained a song from 2012
