Get ready for your productivity to be zapped again today. Google's popular Les Paul homepage doodle will remain on Google.com in the U.S. for another day.

"Due to popular demand, we're leaving the Les Paul doodle up in the U.S. for an extra day. Thanks for jamming with us!" Google tweeted early this morning.

The doodle, in honor of musician and electric guitar pioneer Les Paul, featured the strings of a guitar in the shape of the Google logo. That logo, however, was actually playable—strum it with your mouse and it played a song. In the U.S., meanwhile, users could record a 30-second snippet of their creations and share with friends.

Here in the PCMag offices, the newsroom was filled with the sounds of amateur musicians crafting their own masterpieces all day. We eventually asked Chris Phillips, PCMag's creative director and an actual musician, to play us a real song and he mapped out directions for using the doodle to play the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun."

The doodle honored what would have been the 96th birthday of Paul, who died in 2009. Google said it was inspired to include the record button because Paul, in addition to his guitar work, also "experimented in his garage with innovative recording techniques like multitracking and tape delay," Alexander Chen, a designer (and musician) with Google's Creative Lab, wrote in a blog post.

"The electric guitar brings back memories for me of exchanging riffs with friends and wearing out cassette tapes as I meticulously learned songs," Chen wrote.

Google has had a number of innovative doodles on its homepage lately, but none of have been quite as addictive or mesmerizing as the Les Paul one, except perhaps for Pac-Man. In May 2010, Google posted playable Pac-Man doodle, which collectively consumed about 4.8 million hours of players' time, according to a report.

Pac-Man proved so popular that Google made it into a standalone site at www.google.com/pacman. It did the same thing with the undersea Jules Verne doodle. No word yet if the Les Paul doodle will get the same treatment; Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In recent months, Google.com has featured 16 homepage doodles in honor of what would have been the 76th birthday of children's author Roger Hargreaves, who wrote the Mr. Men and Little Miss series, as well as one that honored dancer/choreographer Martha Graham.

In March, it was revealed that Google obtained a patent for its popular homepage doodles, covering "systems and methods for enticing users to access a Web site."

California second grader Matteo Lopez was selected as the winner of this year's Doodle 4 Google competition. His space-themed doodle was featured on the Google homepage on May 20, and he took home a $15,000 college scholarship and a $25,000 technology grant for his school.
