They weren't playing the game right. The way to correctly play the game, especially among siblings, is for a person to always pick the same song. For example, if I'm tapping, I'm tapping 'Jingle Bells'. And we have a near 100% success rate. (It is not quite 100% due to the initial learning curve, but the success rate then steadily improves over time.)

That said... I'm tapping a tune as I type on this keyboard. Can you guess it??
