shazam fuckery

[]

Rainy Day Games by The Green Orbs

i was watching some chill video for kids, and the above song came on. i liked it, so i shazam’d it because it was playing on the TV and i can’t easily access the “music used” bit there. the result was… incorrect. it immediately came back with this:

a shazam result, saying the song is “Ice Cream” by Fontaine Sansamama

when you search this on youtube, you get the video, whose music sounds absolutely NOTHING like the original above, and also another video that basically states “click here to find the actual song after you Shazam’d this and got the incorrect result”, which includes the youtube music link.

i found this quite interesting, i assume this is using some sort of fingerprint trickery (anti-AI perhaps?). anyway yeah!

    I’ve seen a different, more-obvious version of this, where I try to Shazam a YTAL track and then end up with someone’s song where they’ve (illegally) used the actual YTAL track as the backing track for their awful hiphop or religious song.

    I don’t believe that YTAL tracks can ever correctly be in Shazam due to the license they’re under.
