Forget eurocentric I suspect you would hit anglocentric. The number of tunes known to everyone is so small the computer could just enter the same answer every time and and get an account soon enough. Initialy you could just use plain speach and rely on the issue that no one else uses them so no one is going to bother makeing a bot. More advanced aproaches could involve spoting male and female voices against background noise.
Beyond "happy birthday" I'm at a loss to think of *any* tune known to everyone. Maybe the Ode to Joy. Maybe.
