When I was in junior high school, they would occasionally have a competition on the radio in the morning.  People would call in, and have the first 3 seconds of a song played for them.  If they identified it correctly, they would win $300.

Among the songs chosen to test contestants were "Whip It" and "My Sharona," but neither of these was successfully identified.  Nowadays I could recognize both with ease, as well as more than half of other well-known songs released between 1980-1989.  If you were to quiz me with something from the last ten years though..... well, forget about it  :)
