How to Find a Song Title From Its Melody
Unless you get lucky by finding someone who can identify a tune when you hum it or sing it, your best bet to find a song title from its melody is by using a web service that is specifically designed for this purpose. These services can easily be found by using an Internet search engine. Services vary in how they help you identify songs but a big factor is your ability to accurately (or clearly) enter the melody of the song.

Tips & Warnings
Some websites list websites that can help you find the title of a song.
Be aware that the song-finding services might not be able to identify the song. There are mixed reviews on their success rates. Finding a song title by tapping in the rhythm may in particular prove to be a futile approach. The service you use to find a song title is only as good as the number of songs in its library.
