Alexa’s Search by Lyrics Is One of the Echo’s Best Lesser-Known Features

In case you didn’t know, Alexa can help you find that one song with those one lyrics that go sort of like “blah blah blah” or whatever.

All you have to do is say, “Alexa, play the song that goes [insert the few lyrics you know here],” and she’ll find it easy-peasy. Pretty handy when you’ve got an enjoyable earworm inside your brain and you just can’t seem to remember what that song is called. This feature isn’t exactly new or anything, but it is something every Alexa owner should know.

Right now Amazon is showing off the most requested songs by lyrics via Alexa. These tracks either have catchy choruses, unforgettable, standout lyrics, or have confusing titles that don’t seem to line up with the lyrics Alexa owners are trying to find on their own (for example, the top track, “HandClap” by the Fitz and the Tantrums). You can check out the complete track list, in order, down below.
