How to find a song title and artist using lyrics :)

This one is one that I find useful. If you know some lyrics to a song but you don't actually know the song title or the artist, yet you wish to find out, then this is a good way to find out:

1) Go to a search engine (I tend to use Google)

2) Type in a line of lyrics (e.g. "strange what desire will make foolish people do")

3) Add the '+' symbol followed by the word 'lyrics'

so your search criteria now looks like ...

strange what desire will make foolish people do + lyrics


4) Click on search or press enter to get the results

Google Results from example above = Chris Isaak - Wicked Game


5) You should be able to go through the results and look at the lyrics to identify which song the lyrics are from; including the artist (note: some artists do covers so it may not be the exact version your looking for in which case I suggest using Shazam i.e. on my phone I call the number 2580 if I hear a song playing on TV or the Radio which I don't know and let it text me the artist and song title)

Hope this helps anyone who struggles :)
