What do you do if you can't name a tune?

I have a couple different tunes stuck in my head, but the problem is that I don't know the lyrics to them. I need to figure out what songs they are.

The problem is... it could be any song that has played on the radio before because thats probably where i heard it. How long would it take to listen to all the music of a certain genre that has ever been popular enough to be played on the radio?

stick your finger in your ear and hum it, it will come to you.

you're fucked.

i just try to remember one little line or two of lyrics and then i google it.

it'll pop up on one of the lyric databases (in hip hops case, ohhla.com)

I get really pissed when that happens and it really bothers me

You could try remembering approximately when you heard the song and look at radio playlists online. If you know the name of the performer or group you could look at their discography or type their name into youtube and see if the song that you remember appears in the search.
