1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving data encoding sounds produced by a human voice; extracting a monophonic melody line from an audio channel of the data encoding the sounds produced by the human voice; providing, to a recognizer that recognizes songs from sounds produced by a human voice, the monophonic melody line extracted from the audio channel of the data encoding the sounds produced by the human voice; comparing, at the recognizer that recognizes songs from sounds produced by a human voice, the monophonic melody line extracted from the audio channel of the data encoding the sounds produced by the human voice with one or more monophonic melody lines of candidate videos of a subset of a set of candidate videos that are each (i) identified as being associated with a particular song, and (ii) are classified as a cappella video recordings; determining, based on the comparison, that the monophonic melody line extracted from the audio channel of the data encoding the sounds produced by the human voice matches one or more of the one or more monophonic melody lines of the candidate videos of the subset; and in response to determining that the monophonic melody line extracted from the audio channel of the data encoding the sounds produced by the human voice matches one or more of the one or more monophonic melody lines of the candidate videos of the subset, providing an identifier of the particular song for output.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier of the particular song is determined from metadata associated with one or more of the candidate videos of the subset.
