In reply to the discussion: Guess What Song The Lyrics Are From - NO GOOGLE CHEATING ... [View all]mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)Not good, not bad ... just some people are randomly really good at it, and some people just are NOT ... but are probably much better at other uses of the mind.
And then of course there's the knowing in the first place, then being able to recall ... the name of the song and the artist, on top of placing the lyrics with a particular song to begin with. Though they're both similar 'talents', they're not exactly the same.
I say that because, I've actually known many people in life that know lots of words to lots of songs ... they can sing along when they come on ... but they actually have NO IDEA the name of the song or band. They just don't care about that part.
Myself, if I like a song ... I HAVE to know who does it and the name of the song. It's like an automatic impulse. I hear something on the radio I like and they don't say who it is, I'll try remember some of the lyrics til I get to a computer, and then try to look up the song. And then I probably won't forget who does the song for the rest of my life.
And of course I didn't mean 'don't look it up!' ... I just meant 'don't answer on the thread unless you really knew the answer'
