Site lets you search for music by tapping rhythms

Songtapper isn't quite there, but it's close. The site allows users to search for music by tapping the keyboard to the rhythm of the lyrics. I don't know how accurate it is overall, but it got "Rock You Like a Hurricane" right on the first try. [Hat-tip: Lifehacker]

I've been singing That's Amore by Dean Martin ever since I heard it in a coffee shop WEEKS ago.

It got it right on the first try too.

What do you know...it also got another hurricane related song right. What will they think of next? This will come in handy for those songs that are stuck in your head, but you can't remember the words!
