Many Thanks.

Leon, welcome to the club
When a song starts to "play in my head" I try to write down couple of key words from lyrics.. then I google this (accompanied with keyword "lyrics").
Very often after that I know the name of the song and the band.. the rest is up to you (and youtube, perhaps..)
Of course, Gold 104.3 and Vega 91.5 help a lot..
During this process it occurred to me that if I hear on the radio something good and don't know what it was, it turns out to be Fleetwood Mack !
Once, I found a second hand record in a foreign shop.. bought it by credit card and stated the address of a friend who lives nearby.. then he made mp3 for me. I did not want to bother with postage :-)
