Jabberwocky

Stumbled across these two Italia-Disco songs while searching for EKT.

Number One Ensemble - Mister Luck
 

Tonica & Dominante - Gennarino 'O Sioux
(I'm gonna cut this record up cause it's bumpin and has some awesome break beats)

The second one screams 1993/4 UK pop charts style, the keys are like something you might hear from a Factory Records era song that didn't quite make it.

Any movement on ' Everyone knows that'?

Nothing concrete for leads but as far as movements go, people on Tik Tok are looking for it. ALOT of people are looking for it. That subreddit alone (the dedicated one) has jumped to 35,000 people. Not counting all the other lostwave ones and branching out beyond Reddit. There's strong speculation it's an old Scritti Politti demo since it's the most dead on sounding.

My involvement in the search is looking through old 80's cartoons. The one I'm combing through right now is Jem. Pic related


I'm looking through the foreign markets to see if songs were rescored due to licensing rights. The music in the show dead matches when EKT would have come out. Also the songs in the shows were a max of maybe 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Which fits the advert and stock music theories hand in hand. To me it's weird how the OG clip starts right at a pre-chorus. It's too smooth of a transition even in crappy quality. Thus why I'm searching this way

Two new lostwave tracks getting some real recent traction in getting solved.

Unknown Song - Waste My Time

Unknown Song - Stop Making Me Cry

Blackfoot - Rattlesnake Rock 'N' Roller
 

Templeton Thompson - This One's Gonna Fly
 

Big Picture - Just Passin' By
 

A lost song that was solved from a 3 second music video clip of theirs that was in somebody's home movie collection

@Jabberwocky Get them to look for GN'R songs. An army of people looking for CD2 lol

When the multitude of trolls and false leads/hoaxes die down I will. I don't want them feeling too much like us all the fuck at once, God bless 'em

Could be half way through a chorus really, hard to tell that the clip starts at the beginning of it. I would look at licence free music from the 80's. If it came from either tv or video in the 80's then an ad is one option. But has anyone looked at workout videos? They were pretty big back then and I doubt many had the budget to shell out for actual songs. They probably used cheery happy pop music they didn't need to pay much for.

I have no idea but there is a subreddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/everyoneknowsthat/

28k members is a pretty good reach for just one song

If hasn't been asked there I sure as shit will. Those are both very good leads to try. Especially workout videos. I've been (on the ad side) thinking it might be for a board game. Like Pictionary or Win, Lose or Draw. If you know what I mean? I remeber them being hit shows as well in the 80's. It has a sort of, for lack of a better word, annunciation vibe. Everything was this neon pastel loosey feel but take every lyric literally and succinctly.  Like how music videos used to spell everything out Anyways..

I know one thing and if this turns out to be an ARG or, it might be a reach, a viral marketing campaign. If it is it would be one of the most brilliant fucking swerves everr.

@Jabberwocky Sounds Japanese, 80's or in an intentional retro 80's style. Has kind of a licence free music vibe too.

It does have some resemblence to 80's Japanese City Pop. There's been guesses ranging from and old Savage Garden demo to the guy who sung the friggin theme song to Pokemon. All debunked though. A good lead is that this is snippet was from MTV but from Spain cause the OG uploader was from Spain and because there was a pilot tone found in PAL. This is from a cassette recorder aimed at the TV cause he was just learning how to capture audio. Another theory is this is from a commercial cause he was taping them to learn how to speak English. And in a moment of pure irony there was an ad for a clothing line from late 89 or 90's called....Ulterior Motives. But sadly not to be.

The liscense free music vibe is something I never thought about, especially if it is indeed some kind of intentional creation. In my opinion I think it was a snippet of an interview that was cut to just the song itself cause

1. why would he need JUST that section (cause it's in his native language. see point above about English lessons)

2. how the song cuts right to the chorus

My guess but it's such a rich story.

Unknown - Everyone Knows That/Ulterior Motives

One of the biggest mysteries going around now is trying to identify and find this lost song. So far there is only a 17 second clip. The first video is a fan recreation and the second is the actual original snippet
 

Ay ya'll look. Just remember...that this....is a sequel to Estranged. If you fuckin' found that shit then I am truly in awe of you. A motherfucker would be a goddamn inspiration.

Look, I'm blunted as fuck righyt now so I'll; say it looks drug trippy AF. But not all the weed nor DMT will ever I get what the poiunt of "this..." video

I thought at first that beautiful woman in your Avatar was YOU and was confused when I saw "Male," under your Username. 🤨 What does WMBW mean? I assume that the WM means White Male, but I'm not sure about the BW part. 🤔

BW = Black Woman.
BWWM = Black Woman w/ White Man

I swirl but only with black girls and it goes waayy back to when I was kindergarten in 79. My ex-wife is black and we have 2 boys together who are adults

Well my current avatar is of a beautiful natural black woman (I am a WMBW) but my old one was this. She is part of a visual artist collective called Mfive. She was known as M5 Alien and did alot of YouTube videos but she abandoned it like 2 or 3 years ago. The signature is related to M5 as well.
