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??
By my experience, at least in the UK there is one tune that everyone I've tried so far has recognised from my tapping it out :-)
