So I’m going to give you kids a rabbit hole here. Stick with me. Back in 1988 or so, I used to read the movie papers. And in the papers, there was a listing for a movie showing at midnight every week that caught my eye. Heavy Metal. You may know it. It might seem common. But what isn’t well remember by a new generation is the film remained largely unavailable due to song rights. As I got older I went on a quest to find it. Sadly it wasn’t available. That led me to find out why and what it was is when the film was produced without any semblance of licensing the music for the home video market. So, the film could be shown on cable and in theaters, but VHS didn’t factor in until 1996. If you look back, a good number of films suffered a similar fate (American Pop, notably). Others found a loophole and that was-rescoring. My vhs copy of Fast Times at Ridgemont High (a first generation copy) has been rescored and excludes music by Tom Petty featured on the cable (and current) versions. Heres my point. I have a feeling, a strong one, this song was from the cartoon Jem. They’ve asked singer Britta Phillips if it was her and she says it wasn’t her. But, what might have happened here is, due to American broadcast rights, when Jem aired in a foreign market-say Europe-the distributor might not have had clearance to do that. And subsequently decided to use a similar singer performing a slightly different song. I am in no way sure this was even done with the Jem cartoons. But if you remember these songs, you remember they were always shown in short video segments. My advice is begin looking through import DVDs of the cartoon. There’s a list of all the songs or titles somewhere I’ve seen, but I’m not that invested in this mystery that I’d look them all up. Still I’m pretty confident the key to solving this mystery could lie in the Video Gems (no pun!) UK release of the original episodes. No idea if anyone can find those, but they would contain, perhaps, rescored versions of certain music which is otherwise obscure. Good luck on this as I’ve no idea where those tapes are or if someone has checked them. But licensing often forced that kind of thing.
This is actually very interesting because it supports the theory that the clip of EKT was recorded as it played through TV. Based on the sound it certainly sounds like EKT was playing through a TV or radio and someone recorded it. Was this cartoon broadcast in Japan and rescored? I’ve always thought the vocals sound like many Japanese speakers singing in English. It also has that overproduced Japanese city pop sound that cuts through even the worst audio quality.
It's funny that you say that because I also thought it sounded like a Jem and the Holograms song. I can't even describe why, but the lyrics just have that sort of meaninglessness that most of the songs in Jem had. And they also had relatively short runtimes. There's a band called The Stingers in that show that has a male singer. And in my memories, the singer of EKT sounded similar to him. I briefly did some checking to see if this was one of their songs, but it didn't check out. I do get why you'd think that. It really does have the essence of a Jem song.
I love American pop , heavy metal & Jem. Now that I think of it EKT could be from the shows soundtrack , I don’t remember if they made a jem movie or something similar but maybe this was in the background or something .
There was a comment I found on a repost of the clip (This one: th-cam.com/video/i3hqLN3v3Ho/w-d-xo.html) who said this: "My friend recently showed this song to her mom, and instantly her mom said that she does know that song and that the name of it is "Web of Lies", which is pretty accurate considering the second line that we thought was saying "world of lies" sounds pretty close to web of lies. However we aren't sure who the possible artist is. She did state that the artist is possibly George of Culture Club, but this is yet to be confirmed. We spent hours on the internet researching to see if maybe we could find either the artist or at least more pieces of this song that could help us in solving the mystery. keep you posted on anything that find that could possibly lead us to figuring out the song!"
It's stock music! There are literally thousands of songs just like EKT that were made to be background music in TV shows and commercials. Thousands.

My dad was born in 1970 and has been a big music nerd since he was 17. I showed him EKT and his theory is that this was recorded in the 80s in Minnesota, in a music scene similar to prince and black pop artists before the switch from pop music to hip hop. He says it’s most likely on a cassette tape that was only played on a radio station maybe once or twice before getting discarded or forgotten about. Not related to EKT but he showed me all of his old cassette tapes from the mid 90s with his band at the time that he can no longer play because he doesn’t have a recorder to play them on. Something helpful he shared about cassette tapes is that they can only be played on the model they were made for. He also said that the single cassette it was recorded on could be broken, which he said could make the song permanently lost.
Lmao. I'm only in my mid 30s but hearing someone describe a cassette tape like it is a lost technology that can't even be played anymore without finding a specific player is hilarious. Cassettes are universal and only come in one size, all cassette players can play a cassette. Just like a CD, zoomer. Also cassette decks were still being installed in cars in like the mid 2000s! I had an 04 acura rsx that had a cassette deck in it. Your dad doesn't know any more than anyone else. It sounds as familiar and catchy as any other 80s song. Unless he has A name your dad isn't able to tell us anything helpful. Sorry!
Never heard of how long will it take but I'm happy it's found 🙂 also how ironic is it that some of the most infamous lost songs ever are called "like the wind" "how long will it take" and "everyone knows that" lol.
You might be onto something with the song contests… not only does Eurovision have qualifiers, countries will also do their own contests to see which song makes it to Eurovision. There are songs from Melodiefestivalen 2008 that are very difficult to find online - so something from the 90s would be even more difficult to track down. Also, I have to know - whats the trippy animation in this video from? With the alien dancing?
It was just found, it turns out that the song is from japan and is called „Mr, shine”. It is from the year 1988 but i could be wrong because i made everything up
right before it got to the "maybe the song isnt called everyone knows that" part i wondered if the song was called "a night/knight in disguise" for some reason
When I was 2 or 3, my bedroom had racks upon racks of cds (my mother's.) One had an eye and really freaked me out, and i swear the one below that one had 2 words, ending in "motives." Maybe this is just a cd gathering dust. Maybe that cd gathering dust is even in my possession? Edit: I checked and the CD was a movie called kill fee / ulterior motives
In my opinion this song can be made for arcade or hazard machine. Last summer i was on holidays on Łeba a city in Poland. I went to small arcade room and there was a old hazard machine that played short sample of a song probably from 60's in low quality. It reminded me of EKT. Sorry for bad english.
ooooo an EKT upload : O also, jsyk, lostwave has had 2 huge finds this week! “how long” as well as “kenya song” (unknown song in a filthyfrank video from 2013). the real name of it is “Katonda alinawe” by David SonJC and it was lost for 10 years until a week ago!
the music may be ultra poppy and the vocal production/backing vocals tells us there was a budget/established personel...but also the tone of the singer's literal voice sounds more indie/bedroom/outsider music/underground. definately not the kind of vocals you'd ever hear on any american radio.
I found some interesting information in my search for that song 😝 The first is that there is no "shared link spread throughout the Internet about it" it only exists on Vocaroo and Carl92 in addition to the remixes that for some reason do not appear when I search for them Anyway, my theory is that Carl92 sang it 😏 and that he only has us looking in a dead end, since he was not interested in looking for it from the beginning...
@@untitledlasagna3166why would Carl92 wanna hide that he made the song? To troll? I don't know, smth seems odd about this theory. That's just me tho :p
@@Vocal0idSupermacy_gumimiku oh now I understand, if it's just a theory I'm not here to clarify anything, I love that musical fragment, I'm just very suspicious because I'm very curious..... 🤪🤪🤪
Further evidence that the title has none of the lyrics in it would be a recently discovered lostwave song: One Chance. People had assumed the song was called One Chance or Slow Dance due to the lyrics, but guess what the title of the song was. _Mandalay._ Not even a single lyric from the sample. So title searches unfortunately will not work for EKT.
There was a song named "good karma" by roxette and the first 47 has the same melody and the singer sounds close to Everyone knows that but who knows i think someone said they died tho.
Wait what if this song has a fanbase, but they have no idea that this search is going on, or they know about the search but are just making jokes of us in their community
For the 2 people that even care, the weird animation with the alien being used is an animation of the song Autobahn by Kraftwerk. th-cam.com/video/aFfW0DCoGBg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KTpedgN5IhHsmSjS
Song titles can sometimes end up being totally random. "Big Yellow Taxi" is a bizarre example, as the actual lyrics that make up the title don't appear until the end of the third verse - nowhere near the chorus or other notable parts of the song.
It might be a deleted demo from Micheal Jackson before he died compare a song from him to ekt it might sound similar Carl92 might have the full song and is just hiding it from us Those are my 2 theories
I have a slight theory, maybe it was actually a Karaoke of sorts? Carl couldve recorded a karaoke bar, and the backing track came together and whoever sung it just came up with the lyrics on the spot?

As a former Eurovision nerd, it’s very unlikely that the song is from the contest. The only lost media from ESC is probably 1956 and 1964 years contest, and it doesn’t sound like a song from the 1950-60’s lol. Though, some countries have national selections where a jury or watchers can vote who gets to represent their country in Eurovision, like Sweden or Italy. (Already looked through Sweden, no ekt there) There was an esc “rip off” for Eastern Europe, called Intervision. Not much footage is available from there, at least not on TH-cam, meaning the song might’ve been from there and no one has looked through the archives yet 🤷♀️
This song sounds like something by Duran Duran with vocals by Boy George. When I searched for Duran Duran and Culture Club, I found a video of the two bands talking about Super Concert One, which was never held. Everybody Knows That could have been a song that both bands have collaborated on for that concert and the short sample could have been recorded from a demo that was lost.
I see the "EKT not actually being called Everyone Knows That" theory being totally plausible because it's happened before. I wasn't there for the search, but I know the colloquial title for Letters of Love was "Turning On" because of the snippet repeating that; if we had a longer snippet of that song that had just a *few more seconds* of the beginning, the community would have already had the title from the very start.
i used to agree with the demo theory until i questioned "why would carl have it?". surely it must have been released to the public then anyway so exists on public domain?
My country Serbia ("Yugoslavia" or "Serbia and Montenegro" as it appeared for most of Eurovision until 2006) participated since the beginning. I doubt this song comes from our nation though, however I will try to get some people to look into previously submitted songs for the event. "Беовизија" is the program where preliminaries are held to determine which song will be chosen for the contest. Unfortunately, due to international sanctions from 1992 to 2001 which prevented us from participating, many of the song recordings were lost as Беовизија was cancelled several times in that period. What stands out the most is the way the singer pronounces the word *"Truth"*, very similarly to how an average South Slav would pronounce it. Even I can't pronounce it correctly and it sounds almost exactly like how the vocalist pronounces it. So I don't know, I will search just in case, but I doubt it has anything to do with us.
what really makes the song harder to find is that the actual name of it might be lyrics, but not from the snippet that we got, which is only 17 sec long.
Atomic TV in 2000 changed to MTV. My uncle worked at MTV/Atomic TV from 98' to 06' and he said mtv had old 'Atomic tapes somewhere, and on one of them there can be that song, but they were removed, or destroyed in 02' and 03' . Suddenly advertisements were throwed away, and it's possible, this song can't be found, until someone who did this ad will not find it. And isn't it Kraftwerk's Autobahn video on background? Cheers!
I have a theory maybe this song is from an alternative universe. In that world they have the ability to transport things throughout black holes and worm holes and they’ve sent the song here and it ended up with Carl92
@@SammersonBridge tbh I'm from Italy and I heared this song there I can't remember and It might be popular in napoli as the WiFi their is bad so it must be their since theirs not much WiFi so there's bad documentation
Great video also is it just me or is the lyric tell me the truth is kind of sounding like tell me the tune cuz I'm starting to hear that also I'm fully convinced that this song is from the TV but that's just my idea
I have a theory of my own now. What if an American, or someone else heard of a song that was made in a different language, translated it, and then covered the song?
I have a theory that the song was tken down by another band and was only on radio once or twice but some other band done everything to boycott the song Can you please add this is your video please
we should try and tie in the lyrics to some sort of product that could appear on tv. Some adverts on tv will have a song playing over a product that may share the same name or a certain lyric says the product name.. Also I'd like to point out the possibility that the reason the OP that recorded the song actually stopped the recording where they did was because that's where the actual song cut off at on the tv, just like commercial songs usually fade at the end. So there may not even be a full version of this song that exists.
My guess is this song came from a Commercial in the 80s or 90s form a company that prob dont exist anymore the reason i dont think the website made this song is that they wouldn't know that this song could blow up as much as it did and that do many ppl would go back re listen to the original upload. It sucks that we cant find out where or when the exact date is but the time of the song around 20 seconds is around times of an ad
The counting sheep part wouldn’t make since with the other lyrics.. I think it says “you’re hiding all your shame in disguise” in stead of “you’re counting all the sheep in the sky” as the next part sounding a lot like “caught up in a world of lies” would go with that instead of the sheep? Just my thoughts on that part.
i think i might be on to something that might be the lyrics to the snippet released, though this is just an assumption from what i hear in the song You're counting all the shit in the sky Caught up in your web of lies Everyone knows that you've got Ulterior motives, tell me the truth Every move shows that you've got Ulterior motives, ????????????
We've got no idea if that snippet we've heard is actually the chorus it could be one tiny part of the song, no wonder we can't find it under "Ulterior motives" or anything along those lines
@@PiggyDalleyPiggy Dalley, please check ANY OF YOUR HISTORIES AND MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT IT. PLEASE!!!! Afterwards I might contact MTV for this song. Seripusly
The lyrics are "I'm counting all the creeks in the sky, cause we're caugh up in your web of lies! Everyone knows it (deep down) You got ulterior motives (tell me your tune) the creeks arranged show-"
It is not a Eurovision song, I can tell you that. Not one that made it to the final as I know them all. I'm going through the national finals just in case.
@autumnagain I'm afraid I don't. The man had other projects. My old download folder of italo-disco is gargantuan, as it was an oversized scene. It's around the same time as 'Secret eyes', the following year.
How about savage garden theory? The voice really sound similar to the lead singer's Darren Hayes. A lot of people asked h about it, would be nice if he answers eventualy.
I seen a comment on a video about Everyone Knows That saying that this could potentially be a Boy George song that he sung at a concert. If you compare the vocals from songs such as, "Its a Miracle" or "Church Of The Poison Mind," there is a resemblance in the voice, and the instrumentals. This also coincides with the timeline of Everyone Knows That. Granted, the commenter left no source, its still a theory that could potentially be a push in the right direction.
it wasnt only aired in spain.I heard my dad humming a song that sounded really similar to ekt,i asked him where he heard it said he heard it in a nightclub in Serbia ,he said it was his favorite song for a like a couple weeks and he said that he still remembers some lyrics,even tho it was 30 years ago.He heard it on the radio and recorded it on a cassete,i asked him where it is and he said its in the attic. He said that these are the lyrics but hes not sure: Everyone knows that(youve got) ulterior motives(tell me the truth) every move shows that(youve got) ulterior motives(i know its true-ue-uee) you know what youve done, dont act du-umb ??????????????????? on the dru-u-uuu-ums edit:i found the cassete but its broken :( edit 2:my dads friends also liked this song and it became an inside joke between them,they said they kept quoting the first verse which was something like: "oooh-oooooh-ooh i know you know" everytime someone said they didnt do something.Idk how telling this story will help with the search but yeah,also the "youre counting all the sheep in the sky" part is the second part of the chorus.Chorus had three parts and my dad still hasent figured out what goes before "on the drums"
Hey.... someone explain to me why the data of this lostWave says that it is partially lost?? I mean if it is partially lost, where is the other information 🤔???
@@pengusplayz5756 Well, I understand that... but it is very little information to be (partially lost) I mean for it to be partially lost we should already have at least the name of the song or where it belongs from... and the truth is I don't know. found nothing ☹️ or maybe someone knows....
Another discouraging thought is that the title might never be said in the lyrics. Plenty of songs have a title which is never included in the actual song, making it essentially impossible to guess the title. Yikes!
It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me that it would be a song from a commercial since there’s no talking. If it was a commercial the VO would be talking about the product. Not saying it’s not, just saying I don’t see how it could be
why doesent someone just try to get the location of the person who uploaded the 18 second long song and just come to their house and possibly find the cassete tape or the burned dvd
Imagine after all this work it ends up being a stock TV song called '80's pop #15' or some shit 💀

Not related to EKT but he showed me all of his old cassette tapes from the mid 90s with his band at the time that he can no longer play because he doesn’t have a recorder to play them on. Something helpful he shared about cassette tapes is that they can only be played on the model they were made for. He also said that the single cassette it was recorded on could be broken, which he said could make the song permanently lost.
Cassette tapes can be played on just about any cassette player, and broken tapes can be spliced, losing only a few seconds of music in the process.
MINNESOTA MENTIONEDDDDD 🦆 ❄️ ⛄️ 🥶
Lmao. I'm only in my mid 30s but hearing someone describe a cassette tape like it is a lost technology that can't even be played anymore without finding a specific player is hilarious. Cassettes are universal and only come in one size, all cassette players can play a cassette. Just like a CD, zoomer. Also cassette decks were still being installed in cars in like the mid 2000s! I had an 04 acura rsx that had a cassette deck in it. Your dad doesn't know any more than anyone else. It sounds as familiar and catchy as any other 80s song. Unless he has A name your dad isn't able to tell us anything helpful. Sorry!
Lmao either your dad is trolling you or you’re trolling the 65 people that actually liked this comment
That last sentence about the cassette being broken makes you actually think about it more 🤔
Never heard of how long will it take but I'm happy it's found 🙂 also how ironic is it that some of the most infamous lost songs ever are called "like the wind" "how long will it take" and "everyone knows that" lol.
I have to skip ten seconds before many times because I only focused on your voice. Not ironically, your voice is so calm
Haha thank you! 😅
You might be onto something with the song contests… not only does Eurovision have qualifiers, countries will also do their own contests to see which song makes it to Eurovision. There are songs from Melodiefestivalen 2008 that are very difficult to find online - so something from the 90s would be even more difficult to track down.
Also, I have to know - whats the trippy animation in this video from? With the alien dancing?
It's just trippy 80s Japanese computer Lab graphics
There so many of these fests and music competitions that were aired on TV and just forgotten about!
It was just found, it turns out that the song is from japan and is called „Mr, shine”. It is from the year 1988 but i could be wrong because i made everything up
💀💀💀💀
had us in the first half, not gonna lie
Blud could’ve put us in a fake lead💀
Jokes aside "Mr. Shine" is a baller ass name for a song
LMAO
right before it got to the "maybe the song isnt called everyone knows that" part i wondered if the song was called "a night/knight in disguise" for some reason
When I was 2 or 3, my bedroom had racks upon racks of cds (my mother's.) One had an eye and really freaked me out, and i swear the one below that one had 2 words, ending in "motives." Maybe this is just a cd gathering dust. Maybe that cd gathering dust is even in my possession?
Edit: I checked and the CD was a movie called kill fee / ulterior motives
Can you check?
CHECK IT
In my opinion this song can be made for arcade or hazard machine. Last summer i was on holidays on Łeba a city in Poland. I went to small arcade room and there was a old hazard machine that played short sample of a song probably from 60's in low quality. It reminded me of EKT.
Sorry for bad english.
ooooo an EKT upload : O
also, jsyk, lostwave has had 2 huge finds this week! “how long” as well as “kenya song” (unknown song in a filthyfrank video from 2013). the real name of it is “Katonda alinawe” by David SonJC and it was lost for 10 years until a week ago!

@@DannaBananaQueen I know!
There’s no counting sheep in the lyrics, I believe it says “you carry all the shame in disguise”
I think maybe the song was just made by a family member or maybe a really small band that never got big.
Yehhh, then it was just forgotten... 😦
Kinda sad 😢
the music may be ultra poppy and the vocal production/backing vocals tells us there was a budget/established personel...but also the tone of the singer's literal voice sounds more indie/bedroom/outsider music/underground. definately not the kind of vocals you'd ever hear on any american radio.
@@SammersonBridge That's kinda what I was thinking. I've been sticking to this theory for a while. It may just be permanently lost
I found some interesting information in my search for that song 😝
The first is that there is no "shared link spread throughout the Internet about it" it only exists on Vocaroo and Carl92 in addition to the remixes that for some reason do not appear when I search for them
Anyway, my theory is that Carl92 sang it 😏 and that he only has us looking in a dead end, since he was not interested in looking for it from the beginning...
could it be posted on vocaroo to lower the quality of the clip?
@@reconval emm I don't understand, could you tell me again 😐??
@@untitledlasagna3166why would Carl92 wanna hide that he made the song? To troll? I don't know, smth seems odd about this theory. That's just me tho :p
@@Vocal0idSupermacy_gumimiku oh now I understand, if it's just a theory I'm not here to clarify anything, I love that musical fragment, I'm just very suspicious because I'm very curious..... 🤪🤪🤪
@@untitledlasagna3166it would be such a waste of talent to dump his amazing 80's song in a creepy 2000's website that wasn't very active at that time
Further evidence that the title has none of the lyrics in it would be a recently discovered lostwave song: One Chance. People had assumed the song was called One Chance or Slow Dance due to the lyrics, but guess what the title of the song was. _Mandalay._ Not even a single lyric from the sample. So title searches unfortunately will not work for EKT.
There was a song named "good karma" by roxette and the first 47 has the same melody and the singer sounds close to Everyone knows that but who knows i think someone said they died tho.
47 seconds I meant
Wait what if this song has a fanbase, but they have no idea that this search is going on, or they know about the search but are just making jokes of us in their community
For the 2 people that even care, the weird animation with the alien being used is an animation of the song Autobahn by Kraftwerk. th-cam.com/video/aFfW0DCoGBg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KTpedgN5IhHsmSjS
It is PAL-40 song as I found that it it can be in uk as well but people didnt document it and it wasnt that popular but still popular
Song titles can sometimes end up being totally random. "Big Yellow Taxi" is a bizarre example, as the actual lyrics that make up the title don't appear until the end of the third verse - nowhere near the chorus or other notable parts of the song.
I feel like another possible title could be "in the sky" maybe, as well as the titles that you suggested.
It might be a deleted demo from Micheal Jackson before he died compare a song from him to ekt it might sound similar
Carl92 might have the full song and is just hiding it from us
Those are my 2 theories
I have a slight theory, maybe it was actually a Karaoke of sorts? Carl couldve recorded a karaoke bar, and the backing track came together and whoever sung it just came up with the lyrics on the spot?
This is a really good point! I don't think Carl ever mentioned WHERE he was at the time of recording. This opens up a lot of possibilities...
Good point & theory!
This is a good point but if it's real it would be very sad.
You should definitely analyze the song “Tension Rising in the Air.”

As a former Eurovision nerd, it’s very unlikely that the song is from the contest. The only lost media from ESC is probably 1956 and 1964 years contest, and it doesn’t sound like a song from the 1950-60’s lol.
Though, some countries have national selections where a jury or watchers can vote who gets to represent their country in Eurovision, like Sweden or Italy. (Already looked through Sweden, no ekt there)
There was an esc “rip off” for Eastern Europe, called Intervision. Not much footage is available from there, at least not on TH-cam, meaning the song might’ve been from there and no one has looked through the archives yet 🤷♀️
This song sounds like something by Duran Duran with vocals by Boy George. When I searched for Duran Duran and Culture Club, I found a video of the two bands talking about Super Concert One, which was never held. Everybody Knows That could have been a song that both bands have collaborated on for that concert and the short sample could have been recorded from a demo that was lost.
Maybe
I see the "EKT not actually being called Everyone Knows That" theory being totally plausible because it's happened before. I wasn't there for the search, but I know the colloquial title for Letters of Love was "Turning On" because of the snippet repeating that; if we had a longer snippet of that song that had just a *few more seconds* of the beginning, the community would have already had the title from the very start.
im always gonna think it’s a scratched demo
i used to agree with the demo theory until i questioned "why would carl have it?". surely it must have been released to the public then anyway so exists on public domain?
HOW DOES THIS HAVE SO LITTLE ATTENTION.
🥲🥲
My country Serbia ("Yugoslavia" or "Serbia and Montenegro" as it appeared for most of Eurovision until 2006) participated since the beginning. I doubt this song comes from our nation though, however I will try to get some people to look into previously submitted songs for the event. "Беовизија" is the program where preliminaries are held to determine which song will be chosen for the contest. Unfortunately, due to international sanctions from 1992 to 2001 which prevented us from participating, many of the song recordings were lost as Беовизија was cancelled several times in that period. What stands out the most is the way the singer pronounces the word *"Truth"*, very similarly to how an average South Slav would pronounce it. Even I can't pronounce it correctly and it sounds almost exactly like how the vocalist pronounces it. So I don't know, I will search just in case, but I doubt it has anything to do with us.
Keep us updated!
One time I had a dream that I knew the name of the song and it was call lulz by Lou and hou
Waaaaaat 😅
my grandmother who lives in Poland, when I asked her what was on "Atomic TV" she said that mainly comedies were on "Atomic TV"
what really makes the song harder to find is that the actual name of it might be lyrics, but not from the snippet that we got, which is only 17 sec long.
I told snapchat ai the lyrics and asked who made the song and it said Dagny then when I asked again it said tove lo 😭
💀💀💀💀
tove lo?? 😭😭
Tove Lo sold me rotten sushi last night
Atomic TV in 2000 changed to MTV. My uncle worked at MTV/Atomic TV from 98' to 06' and he said mtv had old 'Atomic tapes somewhere, and on one of them there can be that song, but they were removed, or destroyed in 02' and 03' . Suddenly advertisements were throwed away, and it's possible, this song can't be found, until someone who did this ad will not find it. And isn't it Kraftwerk's Autobahn video on background? Cheers!
Maybe it's lost forever on one of the tapes...
Maybe the title is in another part of the song we don't have
I want to know where that trippy alien background came from
😳😳😳😳😳😳
I have a theory maybe this song is from an alternative universe. In that world they have the ability to transport things throughout black holes and worm holes and they’ve sent the song here and it ended up with Carl92
I'm not high enough for this!!!
dude i will cry if this is real
nah 😂
@@ybxrdsyou've laid off the coke? Edit: idc I'll like my own reply, babay screw you
At this point I honestly can’t even rule that out
Wait in italy thay have English songs so in europe so yea it counld be in italy or Spain that means that you can look at diffrent look places
there's definately an accent here, could be italian or scandinavian or japanese. italy is a great guess.
@@SammersonBridge tbh I'm from Italy and I heared this song there I can't remember and It might be popular in napoli as the WiFi their is bad so it must be their since theirs not much WiFi so there's bad documentation
one of the few ekt titles that actually aged well
💪💪💪
Great video also is it just me or is the lyric tell me the truth is kind of sounding like tell me the tune cuz I'm starting to hear that also I'm fully convinced that this song is from the TV but that's just my idea
Now I can't un-hear it 😳
I have a theory of my own now. What if an American, or someone else heard of a song that was made in a different language, translated it, and then covered the song?
Bro I wish someone who was involved in the production of the song would just speak up already if they're not all dead
I have a theory that the song was tken down by another band and was only on radio once or twice but some other band done everything to boycott the song
Can you please add this is your video please
My theory of EKT is that the lyrics are in another language besides English which is why the interpretations of the vocals are somewhat off
we should try and tie in the lyrics to some sort of product that could appear on tv. Some adverts on tv will have a song playing over a product that may share the same name or a certain lyric says the product name.. Also I'd like to point out the possibility that the reason the OP that recorded the song actually stopped the recording where they did was because that's where the actual song cut off at on the tv, just like commercial songs usually fade at the end. So there may not even be a full version of this song that exists.
For sure! First of all we need some confirmation of the lyrics as there are so many possibilities!
I hope no ulterior motives are caught up in this song, and that we aren’t in a world of lies, and I hope Carl92 told us the truth
i feel like i remember hearing this song on a commercial i think for a car? Idk but i know i heard this a while back
it maybe it was in a testing music show which there was 18 second recording from 1999 or 1995 possible in spain or other european coutries
My guess is this song came from a Commercial in the 80s or 90s form a company that prob dont exist anymore the reason i dont think the website made this song is that they wouldn't know that this song could blow up as much as it did and that do many ppl would go back re listen to the original upload. It sucks that we cant find out where or when the exact date is but the time of the song around 20 seconds is around times of an ad
*from
i am more interested in hearing WTF he is "dancing" to .... 4:46
I think I have one it could be a mtv music video.MTV existed around the time if we could get a hold on the archive maybe we could find it
The counting sheep part wouldn’t make since with the other lyrics.. I think it says “you’re hiding all your shame in disguise” in stead of “you’re counting all the sheep in the sky” as the next part sounding a lot like “caught up in a world of lies” would go with that instead of the sheep? Just my thoughts on that part.
"but can he notice she's in disguise" is probably my favorite version of the first line
@@diat0mic1 that very well could be a possible lyric!
I love this, sounds a lot more accurate @@diat0mic1
What if this song was aired in new Zealand or Australia in the late 80s and then exported in the 90s
Contact the compilers of 80s/90s UK music show "The Chart Show" and ask them if they know it. They played some tracks on there you never heard again!
hmmmmm i'll look into it!
i think i might be on to something that might be the lyrics to the snippet released, though this is just an assumption from what i hear in the song
You're counting all the shit in the sky
Caught up in your web of lies
Everyone knows that you've got
Ulterior motives, tell me the truth
Every move shows that you've got
Ulterior motives, ????????????
when i was -40 years old i heard this song
2:30 That Atomic TV you showed there is Romanian (former Kiss TV) also a music station on tv
Yeah the title is "Tell me the truth"
We've got no idea if that snippet we've heard is actually the chorus it could be one tiny part of the song, no wonder we can't find it under "Ulterior motives" or anything along those lines
I saw a video of many commercials and I heard that song!!

The lyrics are "I'm counting all the creeks in the sky, cause we're caugh up in your web of lies! Everyone knows it (deep down) You got ulterior motives (tell me your tune) the creeks arranged show-"
It is not a Eurovision song, I can tell you that. Not one that made it to the final as I know them all. I'm going through the national finals just in case.

Old Italian(Austrian?) Synth disco.
do you know what its called?

How about savage garden theory? The voice really sound similar to the lead singer's Darren Hayes. A lot of people asked h about it, would be nice if he answers eventualy.
Okay… that clip of people dancing that he uses in the background is crazy. Those people cannot dance
Song Alice?
I seen a comment on a video about Everyone Knows That saying that this could potentially be a Boy George song that he sung at a concert. If you compare the vocals from songs such as, "Its a Miracle" or "Church Of The Poison Mind," there is a resemblance in the voice, and the instrumentals. This also coincides with the timeline of Everyone Knows That. Granted, the commenter left no source, its still a theory that could potentially be a push in the right direction.
nice video but
the background clips dawg 💀
u aint gotta worry bout it fr
it wasnt only aired in spain.I heard my dad humming a song that sounded really similar to ekt,i asked him where he heard it said he heard it in a nightclub in Serbia ,he said it was his favorite song for a like a couple weeks and he said that he still remembers some lyrics,even tho it was 30 years ago.He heard it on the radio and recorded it on a cassete,i asked him where it is and he said its in the attic.
He said that these are the lyrics but hes not sure:
Everyone knows that(youve got)
ulterior motives(tell me the truth)
every move shows that(youve got)
ulterior motives(i know its true-ue-uee)
you know what youve done, dont act du-umb
??????????????????? on the dru-u-uuu-ums
edit:i found the cassete but its broken :(
edit 2:my dads friends also liked this song and it became an inside joke between them,they said they kept quoting the first verse which was something like:
"oooh-oooooh-ooh
i know you know"
everytime someone said they didnt do something.Idk how telling this story will help with the search but yeah,also the "youre counting all the sheep in the sky" part is the second part of the chorus.Chorus had three parts and my dad still hasent figured out what goes before "on the drums"
bro is the biggest capper
Can you fix it?
Yo im in this video
also where are u streaming old erovison songs from, in from the us. if i can scape the content then search for the audio via software
theory: the song is 1% simular to sonic r- redical city
Bro, my comment on a video? I wasn't expecting but okay!
You made a good point ‼️
I have an theory what if the song is at an different pitch level
another theory for the song is Does the song have copyright protection so it can be used in a movie
The easiest way to get a hold of the original artist is to release a cover of it 😂
They'll soon rock up wanting royalties 😂

Another discouraging thought is that the title might never be said in the lyrics. Plenty of songs have a title which is never included in the actual song, making it essentially impossible to guess the title. Yikes!
Yea it’s definitely stalk music
After listening to it for a long time what if it is called "everyone shows that."
poland mentioned??????????
It's a possibility....
I think Stop making me cry also has a different name because the chorus doesn't seem to be in the snippet.
i think "driving me crazy" is a good name because of the extended snippet
@@citrus.airwayslooking back at this, very good guess! The title is actually “Drive Me”
It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me that it would be a song from a commercial since there’s no talking. If it was a commercial the VO would be talking about the product. Not saying it’s not, just saying I don’t see how it could be
why doesent someone just try to get the location of the person who uploaded the 18 second long song and just come to their house and possibly find the cassete tape or the burned dvd
xD
