I considered this, but given the way the clues are revealed i think I had to commit to a single answer per needledrop. I mentioned in the 'how to play' disclaimer the subjective nature of the curated list: We’ve selected what we believe to be the first or most iconic instance of each Needle Drop.

Doesn't make it any less frustrating when it doesn't accept a technically correct answer though.

For instances of this that the system knows about, you could add a response that says, “technically correct but not what I’m looking for.” Similar to how one would do it in real life.
What clues? I listened through an entire song and nothing was presented. Although I also noticed the bug that I could click and drag to see a frame from the movie.

I felt like if I didn't know in the first 5 seconds, I wasn't going to know, and there wasn't anything to do but listen to another 2 minutes of music or close it.
