This LOST 1986 Song Went Viral…But for Years-NOBODY Knew WHO Sang it—UNTIL Today!--Professor of Rock

17 seconds. That’s all anyone had to go off of. Just a few years back an anonymous user uploaded a clip of a mystery track from the 80s to a song discovery site. The audio was low quality, and the lyrics were hard to decipher. Some people claimed to have heard it before. But no one knew who sang it. And when pressed for more information the uploader refused to talk about it. But people had to know. So social media users sprang to action looking for clues in improbable places. And for three years no one could figure this song out… But then someone found it in the most unlikely of places. And you’re not going to believe where. My mind was blown when I heard this. It’s the story where the truth is definitely stranger than fiction. It's Ulterior Motives by Who's Who and Christopher Saint Booth… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

So a little while back we covered the insane story of The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet… a song from the 80s that no one can find the origins of. No one knows who wrote it or even what it's called… We’re still searching for the band or artist and the name of the song. That story goes that back in the mid-80s someone going by the name Darius S recorded an unnamed song onto a mixtape. He labeled it ‘Blind the Wind’ after a line in the song, and it stashed it away in his collection of cassettes. Fast-forward to 2004, Darius S rediscovered the track and tried to identify it via the Internet. But to no avail. Then in 2007, his sister Lydia uploaded ‘Blind the Wind’ onto multiple song discovery sites, kicking off a nearly two-decade search for the truth about this track. All kinds of leads have been followed trying to verify who wrote this song. Musicians would come forward claiming to have written it, but could provide no proof to back up their claims. It’s a pretty wild story. And as of this video, the song’s identity still remains a mystery. So that story was a lot of fun to cover. And it got me wondering if there are any mystery songs like this that actually have been identified. And you know what? After doing some digging, I realized that there are. In fact, The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet spawned an entire phenomenon called Lostwave… The name is of course a play on the New Wave genre of the 80s and consists of songs that have that sound but whose origins are unknown. There’s even a Lostwave community on Reddit (40,000 members strong) that works to bring anonymous songs into the light. So today we’re telling a story of another Lostwave gem, commonly referred to as “Everyone Knows That”. Along with The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet, this has got to be one of the craziest lost song stories out there. Alright so let’s jump into this saga. The story begins in October 2021, when an unidentified user named “carl92” uploaded a 17-second clip of a mystery synth-pop track to the song discovery site...
