Shazam is a mobile app that helps identify melodies. In 3013, Hermes sang it a melody that Nibbler's personal chauffeur had been constantly emitting, but, because Shazam could no longer stand Hermes' singing, it did not identify the melody and flew away in his cell phone. [7ACV23]
Production
Shazam was first seen in a selected animatic for 7ACV23, which had been released online by July 2013.
In the animatic, Shazam's response to Hermes was different and Bender used Shazam to identify a song of his.
