Musipedia - The Open Music Encyclopedia
Check out Musipedia, "a searchable, editable, and expandable collection of tunes, melodies, and musical themes." At the time of this writing, Musipedia had over 30621 melodies and musical themes in its database; with new ones being added every day.
One of most intriguing features of Musipedia is its Keyboard Search. You can search for music actually using the notes on the piano to guide your search - this is the first time I've ever seen anything even remotely like this and I just thought it was way cool.
In addition, you can search for music by whistling a tune (no joke). From the site: "The applet at the bottom of this page can analyze your whistled input and calculate the Parsons code, which you need for a search. For some people, singing works better than whistling. It is also conceivable that certain musical instruments work still better."
