You hum it to yourself repeatedly in an attempt to memorize the lyrics, only to forget it after slamming a few shots at the bar. Shazam will never leave you struggling to recall those lyrics again. All you need to do is to Hold the iPhone up to a speaker playing the unknown tune and the app will identify it — album, artist and song title — just like that.
