ID a song: "winter wonderland", "wanted to hold your hand", and beer...

May 12, 2011 7:15 PM

Music filter - heard a song I liked and only caught snippets of the lyrics, "winter wonderland", "wanted to hold your hand", and "beers". Help?!

Main plot of the song: walking a date home through the snow, but being too drunk to be sure if making a move would be acceptable.

This was played on the local (Ontario, Canada) university radio station.

How did Google help? All your Google link displays (to me) is the OP's question on AskMF.

The link I posted was straight from the Google search I linked to. I just copied and pasted the OP's own language ("winter wonderland", "wanted to hold your hand", and "beers") into Google, and the link was right there, with the lyrics and streaming audio.

That is certainly not what happens when I click that link. I just tried it. But if my link isn't working for you, try it for yourself. Google: "winter wonderland", "wanted to hold your hand", and "beers."

It's interesting to me how many AskMe questions can be answered by simply taking the OP's own keywords, in their own words, and Googling them.

Thank you John Cohen - and now I know how to use google search more effectively, too.
