This song was just in my head. Good. 90s. Posted. Just because I like it.

How did I find it? I hummed the melody into Google app on iPhone.

When I went to the YouTube page, the top comment was something I thought some HN folks may value:

Fun fact, The very first song to become an MP3 was Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner." A German engineer played the song over and over again as he tried to squeeze the song into a smaller size without changing its sound too much. The rhythm helped the encoding of the file.
