Hm. I put in "Amazing Grace" and it came up with:

O Yeah
End Of Fashion

A Kiss To Build A Dream On
Louis Armstrong

Bread And Roses
Pete Seeger

The Fool
Sanford Clark

Above You, Below Me
The Beatles

True Love
Elton John

My Hat It Has Three Corners

New Kids On The Block
Right Stuff

Springtime For Hitler
Mel Brooks

Braban�Onne
Belgium

... but NOT Amazing Grace. At least Pete made it onto the list - but Springtime for Hitler?! I guess they're still working the kinks out of the system.

I wonder what would happen if I typed in _my_ songs....

Yeh, I've put in a few that I thought it would get, and came up with everything BUT the one I was tapping. It DID find Camptown Races and Puff. (Weird, Geordie. Those are two that I tried!) And the Welsh national anthem (which surprised me). It's mistakes are interesting in themselves. Still a hoot.

I tried a few and never got the one I wanted, but if you want, it will add them to the database, logically, it will have everything eventually.
