Sometimes a melody lurking within the dustier neurons of my brain works its way into higher levels of consciousness, and manifests as idle whistling or singing.
These tunes come and go unnoticed.
(Mostly because the woman whom brought to my attention, both that I was whistling and that she had
a headache, has decided to find another man to badger)
These tunes, however, should not go unnoticed. They should be noticed, identified, and played (should they be in your music library).
In the same vein as the inscription of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, I propose the creation of a program which employs music recognition software to identify the song you are idly singing/whistling and then play the song from your music library; because deep down inside you really wanted to hear that song.

You know that the first step of this, identifying a song based on humming/whistling, is done, right? |
|

I was aware of the existance of music recognition software and assumed it would stretch to whistling/singing (assuming you aren't terribly tone-deaf). |

That is most assuredly the fastest Idea-post to annotation time I have ever seen, Jutta. |

The trouble with this is that it would amplify the mistakes I make
when whistling or humming a tune. The amplifier would go off
playing all the right notes, and I'd be off-key and look like a
bigger idiot than I already feel like. (Neutral) |

[+] a device that would continually reinforce the songs that you can't get out of your head ?.... evil.... very very evil. |

Now that I think about it, "The Chicken Dance" would be playing constantly, in my house. |

Nooooooo! Don't you see? There is the terrible possibility of a positive feedback loop where I subconsciously whistle that annoyingly catchy tune - only for it to be played by my stereo, embedding it even further into my brain like some irretrievable poisonous black shard. |

It's just another selling point, to me, if this could be used for evil. |
