Classical music

And you can't shazam it either when it's on the radio.

I tried to find one by Yanni and spent like 3 days listening to all his stuff to find it..

This. I know this problem very well.

Been there

I had this problem with Con Te Partiro by Andrea Bocelli. I could only remember the music but not the Italian lyrics.

Step #1: Hum melody. Learn melody.
Step #2: Find a music major, preferably one currently taking music history.
Step #3: Hum/Sing melody for them and tell them there is free food if they get it right.
Music majors will do anything for free food.

Lol it's the one that goes...
DUN DUN DUN DAHHHHHHHHH
DUN DUN DUN DAHHHHHHHHH

We have this game at my music academy. In History class we see a composer every month and at the end of the semester the teachers plays many pieces and you have to guess what composer is based on style and instruments. It's really fun

There's a website where you can hum music and it tries to figure it out. I've only tested it a few times, and get about 60% accuracy (however I suck at humming and holding a note) http://www.midomi.com ... just tested with classical, it got "ode to joy", but not "fur elise"
