As we sat at the table after eating our lunch, Mexican music blared over our heads. Odd because this was a Japanese restaurant. No, just kidding. My friends and I had gathered for our ritual Friday lunch at our favorite Mexican eatery.
One of my friends showed off the capabilities of her new iPhone by pointing it at the speaker while running an app called Shazam. Within seconds, Shazam not only identified the name and artist of this Banda song, it also begin playing the annoyingly melodious concoction of tuba and accordion for us. Amazing!
This would've been enough to impress us except for what followed. While sitting next to the proud owner of the iPhone, my other friend unexpectedly sounded an intestinal tweet* - or, as you old school types would have said - he farted.
The Shazam app faithfully reacted to that short burst of musical notes. Within seconds, it gave us the phone number to Congressional switchboard. Amazing!
*Sorry, just trying to keep it modern. Even so, you still have to watch out for those hashtags. They can get messy.
