Have you ever heard a song, you didn't know who sang it, and you didn't know the title, but only caught a snippet of the lyrics? You can usually throw those lyrics into Google and identify the song that's now stuck in your head, but it's even easier if you have an echo from Amazon.
One of the native features of the Echo (recently pointed out by Lifehacker) is the ability to search for songs by lyrics. Instead of opening a browser on your phone or computer, you can ask Alexa to use the voice command “Alexa, what's the song going??”
If Alexa recognizes the song, she will tell you the title and artist and start playing it right away.
Amazon also recently released a list of the 50 most requested songs by lyrics through Alexa. The number one song, HandClap by Fitz and the Tantrums. Other artists featured on the list include Justin Timberlake, Journey, Ed Sheeran, and Queen.
Amazon's list also gives insight into the most searched for songs by city, with Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, New York and Seattle included on the list.
