Earlier tonight I decided to indulge in a little holiday music while loading the dishwasher. Along the way I discovered the following way to confuse Siri. If "Hey Siri" is activated I think the entire process is hands free. Not sure since I had the Music app open already on my phone:

1. Open the Music app and start playing a track. I used Josh Turner's "The First Nowel".
2. Before the first track finishes open a different music app. I asked Siri to open Pandora.
3. Pandora seems to pick up wherever I left off recently. In this case it started with this Amos Milburn tune
4. Finally say, something like "Hey Siri, identify this track".
5. Siri will claim that the first track is the one that's playing.:question

I wonder if it does this with other services/sources such as Spotify?:sick2
