I've played stuff from Song Fight[1] in the car, or been signing along at my desk and been asked about the songs. There's so much good, "catchy" stuff out there if you take the time to look. At least w/ Song Fight I can usually trace down the original artist.

I have the same thing w/ old tunes from MOD files. I have a couple melodies I whistle that I know came from MODs I downloaded and listened to 25 - 30 years ago but I have absolutely no idea which ones they are. I still have most of that stuff (the benefits of kicking your data onto new media every few years), but slogging thru all of it just to find a few bars of melody just seems like a chore. I also thought that, if I ever chose to do that, I should record my current interpretations of the melodies to see how they changed over the years vs. how the original actually sounded.
