The Mysterious Song That Nobody Can Find ft. blameitonjorge 

y'all they found it 😳

"A more amusing false lead was the youtube commenter/facebook user who claimed the song was from an 80s adult film". - They hated him because he told them the truth. Even if it was unintentionally so.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that “false lead” at 13:53 turned out to be FACTS yo I’m crying I’m actually crying

THAT GUY WHO SAID IT WAS A PORNO WASNT TROLLING

I'm just over here absolutely baffled how a 27 year old that somehow for some reason has a copy of an insanely obscure Japanese New Wave compilation album from the early 80s could possibly be so vehemently against lost media searches... talk about a strange and very rare subset of person.

Imagine if carl came back after all this time, posted "nvm found it." and went silent again

Well, guess we know why Carl went silent now.

i think the entire internet owes an apology to the people who originally theorized it to be from a porno

The irony of the song being named "Everyone Knows That"

the one consistent thing i learn from any of these 80's/90's lostwave lost media searches specifically is how many people in the 80's/90's had the exact same singing voice.

Funny how all this could’ve been avoided if carl just admitted he was gooning

13:53 HE WAS RIGHT. HE. WAS. RIGHT. OH. MY GOD.

Gotta love when someone is being about as rude as possible to you and then they say, “others won’t be as nice to you as I am.” Mate, most people are nicer than you are.

Imagine if we find it and it's just some kind of mp3 file on a stock music libary called "generic 80s pop music #15"

That guy with the adult film lead isn't doing victory laps. They're doing a victory marathon.

Can’t wait for the update to this, thank you so much for providing this breakdown

16:10 - “For some reason multiple websites let us know that his blood type is B” - blood type is actually popularly viewed similarly to zodiac signs in Japan, so it’s like listing a musician as a leo or something

My 2 cents: When I first heard the clip, my impression was that it sounded EXACTLY like one of those 'fake songs' that would be used in TV shows (because they couldn't afford the rights to license anything real)...usually a hastily thrown together pretend song. That would explain the short clip, as a show might have dialogue etc that would cut it off. (as if the song were used as a background element in a scene....maybe at a concert or nightclub scene) TYou would hear this kind of stuff routinely in sitcoms or cop shows.

"who claimed it was from an 80s adult film" haha right hope that isnt true... 🥰

COMING BACK TO COMMENT SINCE ITS BEEN FOUND

Lost media always has an otherworldly feel. Like from another dimension. It's annoying that so many songs just can't be found. The internet isn't exhaustive

i like how it's called "everyone knows that" and yet, no one knows it

13:56, HE TOLD THE INTERNET, WE NEED TO APOLOGIZE.

To people who claimed it was AI: how does it feel to be wrong about everything?

I feel bad for Carl if I’m being honest. Imagine trying to find a song only to be bombarded with extremely person questions and then being called a liar and an asshole because you rightfully didn’t want to give those answers. I’d go dormant too. Update: Damn bro.

Someone talking about how very nice and generous they are to someone thay are calling a loser while saying they need to get a life because their harmless hobby is "cringe" is the most internet thing to ever internet

Imagine there’s probably 4 middle aged men, completely clueless to the fact that a demo they recorded in high school back in the 80’s has the internet going crazy. Edit: Well this is awkward....

13:57 BABES THEY WERE TELLING THE TRUTH

I bet the guy at 17:00 doesn’t know real lost media exists and only knows of it through “lost episode” creepypastas. I’m around his age and those were really big when I was a kid, so maybe to him it sounded like “hey we’re looking for Candle Cove” and he was like “Looking for stuff from creepypastas is for kids and I need these Internet strangers to know that I’m a serious adult.” Still a stupid and unnecessarily hostile response. Also kind of sad. Given that he likes obscure music, he’d probably enjoy looking for mysterious songs

Guy who uploads obscure music when someone comes to him asking if he knows of a piece of obscure music: (ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠) "I HATE YOU I HATE YOU FUCK OFF NOBODY CARES!!!"

13:49 the person knows what was cooking

No wonder carl disappeared...

That photo of the boombox is so unsettling for some reason.

i just want to say that i appreciate you using more upbeat/chill video game songs in your videos instead of the ominous drones more common in a lot of lost media videos! especially since most lost media isnt scary, it's just... stuff! it makes for a more fun watching experience. the omori soundtrack my beloved

13:53 well that didn't age quite well...

The person who said that it was from an adult film must be feeling so vindicated now.

2:33 His original post title was simply "Mid 80s, bad quality" You mentioned before that how the watzatsong site was hacked - well the people who hacked his profile changed the description, and mods changed it back, adding that bit in parenthesis at the end. Carl92 never called the song "Everybody knows that". Just wanted to point that out

My favorite quote of all time from the ekt Reddit is “we have become so desperate oh my god, no one is busting it down sexual style to everyone knows that” i just saw it while scrolling there random threads and I think about it so much I think it helped me achieve nirvana

UPDATE! Everyone Knows That has now been found! It was discovered on a porno movie from 1986 called "Angels of Passion" and its played in the background of a sex scene. The official title is "Ulterior Motives" By Christopher Saint Booth. Your Welcome Kylie

13:49 *THAT LEAD SORT OF BECAME TRUE*

Wasn't "Everybody Knows That" the song that played when you beat the arcade game Polybius? Someone should check.

As someone who is 27 and does volunteer archival work for a nearby town, comparing lost media, whether it’s film, comics or music, to CREEPYPASTAS…it makes my blood boil. I also very much enjoyed your work and Jorge’s help on this, it was astounding.

I can suggest a Filipino 80s new wave pop band Rage Band could've made it. Maybe. Why? -Philippines using NTSC Format -Made pop songs between 1983-1988 and 1990 -Songs mostly in English -Sounds similar from their tracks -Made Jingles for brands in the 80s If you want to hear their tracks, its on their Soundcloud page, however full albums are still lost media.

13:47 Might want to look back into this....

One good thing about this search is that most of the dead end leads end up exposing people to musicians they never heard of, which is a pretty good silver lining in my opinion.

this reminds me of something: If you've seen the Teen Titans GO! episode 40% 40% 20%, Cyborg is obsessed with a song by a band called B.E.R. "Night Begins to Shine". It's interesting because the song is not a "real" 80s song, or a "real" 80s band. It was recorded in 2005 by Carl Burnett (the B in B.E.R) as an 80s themed song, and put into a music library. They found it while working on the previous episode "Slumber Party" because it was also 80s themed, and thought it sounded like a cool band, and used it, not realizing it was just "music library" fodder, essentially. The internet made it massively popular, in part because of 40% 40% 20% (which has a badass music video). That said, it makes me wonder if it's hard to find this because it was possibly recorded for a music library. I mean, music library stuff has existed since before the internet.

13:53 “well that didn’t age quite so well “

I love how it turned to be a soundtrack in some 80s porno. That is one of the best ways it could have gone imo.

That one super depressed dude raging because he got asked a question by one person.... 27 years old acting 12. Sad.

Regarding that Japanese user with the compilation album, as someone who has covered quite a few Japanese lost media topics myself, I've found that Japan doesn't really have a dedicated lost media community over there. There's a pretty popular wiki for lost commercials specifically, but I have yet to encounter any centralized hub in for lost media/lostwave in Japanese. Some people are terrified of copyright-related repercussions/legal action (Japanese copyright law is mad strict and many unclaimed old film reels and music tracks are outright destroyed because the legality of holding them and not owning the rights is so complex. In my own search for the Akihabara tape song, I've found that the OP and owner of the tape had actually thrown out the original cassette tape with the song on it, and is a bit vague in correspondences. I feel they may just be apprehensive for legal reasons themselves. TLDR: I really wish Japan took media preservation more seriously. I've been simmering the idea of opening a Japanese language wiki for lost media and just adding articles myself to hopefully spread some awareness and interest.

11:28 "There is a reason why the clip is only 17 seconds" Yeah, all the moaning.

13:46 are you SURE that's a false lead? lololololol I can see how someone would misremember "Angels of Passion" as "Desire" after almost 40 years.

I'm a mod from r/everyoneknowsthat. Came here to copy/paste my reaction to the vid in the community: Happy to see an accurate video where the creator(s) have done their proper research. Good explanation of the origins, the technical details, popular theories, and even deep dives in some false leads. Pretty much every other video I've seen got so much wrong. This video should be the standard for newcomers. My compliments to the creators, they obviously put a lot of work into this.

It's crazy to think people are this involved in searching for something that could have been a garage band song.

i love the lyrics "everyone knows that she's got ulterior motives, tell me the truth" it reallyyyy sounds like a wham song and i love it

I just asked my mother who was in her 20s in the 80s if she’d heard this song before. She said that it has the same sort of generic rhythm and chord progression of that era (which could definitely point to why it sounds so familiar to everyone) and she said it could be a song from a Motown (the record company) girl group. She also said the grainy, low quality could be because it was recorded in a disco, concert or club or something. I don’t know if this could be a lead, but it may prove fruitful to dig really deep into the super underground girl groups of Motown’s from that era and see where it gets us. edit: OKAY GUYS YES I KNOW THAT ITS BEEN FOUND AND WHAT ITS ORIGIN IS 😭 but i never said my mum had HEARD it before, just that its rhythm is of that era which she recognised as she was in her 20s and yk how 80s music is LMFAO. so yeah just to clear that up 🫡

Not being able to find lost media is so frustrating. I have almost a whole album of songs that no one knows where they're from. I've been searching for like a decade, I think.

To be honest, the response at 17:00 is so disheartening, but more so because no matter what draws folks into a new genre of music - the overall benefits of these searches are bringing more attention to non mainstream art and music and often recovery and archiving of lost or near lost media. I understand annoyance from being bombarded by questions and inquiries - but it seems that was not the cause of the ire - it was plain ole gatekeeping of a new and different generation/audience finding interest in a musician since it was tied to "annoying creepypasta searches" or w/e

Watching this in hindsight is too funny, she even mentions the correct source at 13:45 😭

Actually, everybody's talking abt Carl being a gooner but HOW THEY REFIND IT????

Someone's grandma knows this song and has it in their dusty collection that hasn't seen the light of day in almost a century💀 Edit: I need more comments the amount of ignorance is hysterical

the (Everyone Knows That) part of carl’s post wasn’t put there by him, he only titled the post “Mid 80s, bad quality”. The latter was added either by hackers or site mods.

13:53 Well.. 😭

13:48 well, this didn't age well

yes i watched this entire video in the first 53 seconds it was posted this shit is fire dawg fr

Plot twist: the singer is celebrity #6

Carl was smart to disappear, man accidentally put his stash on blast

13:52 foreshadowing

The "NTSC frequency line" could have easily been baked in the original recording at the studio. Many studios have screens within the recording room, and it's very common to find ~15kHz frequencies in the recording caused by their presence during the recording session. Many commercially released tracks have this burned in. The notion that the presence of this line is necessarily due to how Carl92 recorded the sample himself is just not so. There are more holes in this whole thing: This frequency comes from the horizontal deflection yoke vibrating due to the powerful oscilating magnetic field it generates to move the elctron beam from left to right on the screen. NTSC does it at 15734Hz and PAL at 15625Hz That's about a 0.7% difference. How can they be so sure it's NTSC for certain and not PAL? Especially given the high probability that this was captured from audio or video tape, radio, or whatever, where this frequency could have shifted up or down by that much or even more. Kudos to the guy that had the knowledge to look for this, but it's just not as good a clue as he thought. In fact, I would say it can't be considered to be a clue at all.

Love this story. As an aside, this pink boombox was released in 2006 lol, probably 20 years after this song was recorded. Funny how it found a permanent association with an 80s hook.

13:45 famous last words

I guess we better start watching more old 1980s pornos to hopefully find more lostwave songs.

I find it so ironic that a song most often known as "everyone knows that" is basically nonexistent on the internet

Just a fun fact : the reason why Joe Rinoie's blood type can be found so easily on the Internet is because in Japan, blood types work in a similar way astrological signs do in western countries. Also, it was kinda weird to see EKT on French news as it's not really known here, I don't know any french videos on the subject (even though French RU-vid had shown interest in mysterious songs before like Like The Wind), this report is one few places it was even covered. Anyway, very cool video ! Glad to see Jorge here !

13:46 little did we know

Oddly enough the 17 seconds part were the part were there were not much of "that" and the only clean part of the whole song 😂. Carl92 was probably was making reason to find the full song without revealing where his source came from 😂

A 27 year old claiming to be an old man telling people to "get off their lawn" is just silly. That's coming someone who's 45, and I don't think I'm ready for the "get off their lawn" bit even though my body is definitely showing some real signs of aging, now. This can be controversial, but as far as I can tell, there is no real meaning to life. So, the best thing you can do is provide a meaning, yourself. I've been there looking for a song from my childhood that I had no idea what it was called. If it gives your life a little spark, then it's all worth while.

Everyone is saying it's from a commercial but what if it's originally from a movie and was made for a short scene? This happens sometimes. Ex. there was an episode from the Haunting Hour that I watched a reviewer's video on it and the intro for the episode included an original, short song played on a radio that the character was listening to. I forget the episode but it was one with Debby Ryan in it and it was clearly her singing a generic, one-off song. I mean there's also original full-made songs made for movies too. Scott Pilgrim is probably the most notable example but "Scotty Doesn't Know" is a song by Lustra made for the movie Euro Trip. I hope this makes sense because I feel like I'm having a hard time describing it. Like, instead of using an existing song the audio engineers made a new song exclusively for the movie. Oh, and sometimes when they do these the vocals are actually stock vocals from a library, but I guess we would've found them by now if that's the case? I was watching a video on Mad Magazine and its history and one of the one-off songs they used in the Mad 90s TV show had the same vocals from Scanty and Kneesocks theme because the "I want you to make believe it's the first time" lyrics were from a stock vocal thing and the two songs were just remixed completely different. I hope if this doesn't make sense, someone else can explain it better than me. 😅

'if blameitonjorje is involved, it's going to get solved' the prophecy has been proven true. Yet again.

Carl legit had ulterior motives

If this end up by being an AI song im losing my fucking mind Edit: Well, I still lost my fucking mind

That Darren segment had me absolutely stunned, the comparison legit sounded like it could have been from the same exact song it sounded so close. I was dead set on it being a female singer until I heard that, combine that with the tweet and that’s probably the closest lead y’all have found! I really hope it gets found so I can add it to my playlist!

13:54 You prophet!!

Crazy how they found and more crazy is WHERE they found it 😭😭

It's weird to think that this could be the favourite song of someone in this world, yet they have no idea that people are looking for it on the internet as the news hasn't reached them yet. That person could know everything about the band and singer.

5:22 - "There is a chance it isn't anywhere online". There's also a chance it IS online, maybe even uploaded directly to RU-vid, but just hasn't been "found" by anyone from the lost media community yet. This has happened to at least one "lost" song before, can't remember the title of it, but it was eventually "found" and had been on RU-vid already for at least 2-3 years before the search even began, complete with comments all throughout the supposedly "lost" era. Sometimes it's just a matter of being in front of the right people at the right time.

the fact this song wouldn't be found for years because carl didn't want to admit he was beating his meat LMAOOO

13:47 SO HE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG??

jorge collab is crazy omg congrats kylie

On the off-chance anyone is interested, the stock/background footage from about 5:50 to 6:10 is from River Falls Mall (circa 1993), which was in Clarksville, IN until it closed. The full video in higher quality is available on RU-vid, and as of this posting can be easily found using the name of the mall and the year mentioned.

Bro was JORKIN it 💀

"I don't remember where this song came from" Yeah sure......

How nice of Kylie Boggly for allowing a smaller channel like Blameitonjorge to collab. I hope he gains more subs and attention

Can relate, took me ages (like 10s of years) to find an old 80s megamix of Tainted Love. Finally someone uploaded it on here and I happened across it.

That guy cannot be 27 😭 he’s just so angry at the world like holy shit. Did someone threaten to dox him if he didn’t give them the song?! ☠️

Banger music ❌ Music while Banging ✅

Back in the 80's club DJ's or radio DJ's would be given "single" records from music labels, to play at clubs and create some buzz. You could of course just pick one up a record store yourself too. The singles would usually have a radio edit, extended version, and a dance remix. I have found more than a few of these singles from thrift stores. Some of them were absolute bops, even though it was from a obscure musician no one has ever heard of and only had a few thousand or hundreds of views on RU-vid. The song in question had to of been recorded from a vinyl to tape then recorded back to a PC for whatever reason. There's an absolute mountain of these singles, finding this song would be like finding a needle in a hay stack. The vinyl is probably sitting in someones collection in Europe and they just don't know it.

"im not like those other 27 year olds, I don't like creepy pastas. I'm a cool guy"

create a version that goes for like 4 minutes of the sample repeated and see if someone copywrite claims the yt video

Apparently this has now been covered by The Guardian. Seriously. This feels almost surreal.
