Survey of Pitch Memory
In what key do you hear these popular songs in your head? If you know their recorded key, try not to think of it. Just blurt out the song and figure out what notes came out using your favorite instrument. Or you can use http://www.apronus.com/music/flashpiano.htm

It's important that you're not influenced by the previous song, so in between each question, please listen to this mp3 designed to "cleanse your palate" of tonality: http://mrclay.org/mp3s/cleanse.mp3
