Type any lyrics you remember into Google, making sure to add quotation marks around the lyrics.

You can also try searching on YouTube when you've narrowed your search down some. Describe whether its sung by a male, female or group, and any other kinds of descriptions of the song you might remember. Ask yourself if the song sounds familiar. Is the voice distinct?

If you think it sounds a lot like a singer or group you have heard, check that band's website or their fan sites to see if they have any new releases and listen to them If you're hearing the song on the radio, try to stick around for a moment and listen. The DJ may go over the songs he or she just played. Call the station or visit the station's website to see if they post a playlist of the songs played that day.
