The Elusive Song Obsession...
This is how it works:
I hear a song on the radio, on a movie or TV show, walking in the mall or in a store, and either it strikes a chord with me, or maybe it brings back pleasant memories of days long past...
After having this emotional connection with the song, I focus on the lyrics and musical style, taking an auditory snapshot so that I will remember what to search for when I get to a computer. Believe me when I say this is not just a casual practice, but a serious undertaking bordering on obsession. I must find that song at all costs.
Step 1:
Google the lyrics
Step 2:
Search iTunes for Artist and Song
Step 3 (if step 2 is unsuccessful):
Search amazon.com for CD
As of yet, I have never failed to find a song, no matter how elusive or obscure.
God bless the internet.

I use this technique myself. Works quite nicely. However, since I have the memory of a... very forgetful thing. Sometimes I have to hear it fourorfiveorsix times before I remember enough lyrics to google it.
