This has been about the 3rd or 4th trag that Shazam couldn't tag for me.. was in HMV and heard some song, just one lead female vocalist singing a song going "I am down... down, down down" quite reptitively. It didn't sound fantastic but I'm intrigued to who it was.

Anyone know that song? As it was in HMV I'm guessing it must be quite well known.

Did it sound modern or old?

Sneaker Pimps? Six Underground (or remix thereof)?

I always forget about Shazam when I hear a track that I would like to check out - how does their service work again? Sorry, can't help with the original request :(

No, it wasn't Sneaker Pimps, similar sounding female though. It was modern, I assumed it was gonna be something well known :shrug:

Just dial 2580 (straight down the middle of your mobile) and hold your phone out to the music. It almost always works for me while at clubs, maybe I haven't been near the music enough in shops, or too much background noise.

It costs you 50p + price of text if it tags it correctly, but if it can't then you don't get charged the 50p. If you register on the website then you can login and see all the recent tags you've made. So you don't need to save the texts on your mobile :)

No on all three counts, simply judging by the lyrics. :(

Are you sure it was a female?
It could have been "I'm down" by Good Charlotte
