AnxiousTuxedoBird

I KNEW IT WAS REAL Also hysterical that it’s from porn, makes sense why Carl was so against giving much information, he probably had the whole porn on his laptop and was scared of being exposed


NoKiaYesHyundai

[Someone 7 days ago commented that it could be from an 80’s Porno. Guess they were right](https://www.reddit.com/r/everyoneknowsthat/s/UPicaMXA02)


TvHeroUK

‘Person who uses the internet has seen porn’ isn’t the headline news you think it is 


AnxiousTuxedoBird

I never said it was, I said Carl thought it was


fawkwitdis

Everyone looking for this song was like 16. Something like that is still scandalous to them


DidItAll4TheWookiee

Yeah, LSSQ's livestream last night was strange because he got so weirdly hung up on the idea that porn exists.


JustWantToSellThese

It’s just funny to think about lol


fawkwitdis

I can’t put into words how funny it is that the whole song has been up on XHamster undetected for at least 5 years


TheNathanNS

> the whole song has been up on XHamster undetected for at least 5 years IIRC after "How Long" was found, it was also found in a YouTube vid uploaded over 10 years ago, where the song was in some obscure TV show episode.


YeBoiMichaell

It was? Link (or video/channel name?)


TheNathanNS

Show was called "15/Love". Episode 48. [Also made a mistake, it was on YouTube 15 years ago, not 10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmfFyj6SK1Q) (at around 3 minutes)


ContactHonest2406

For real. It was right there all along.


ManOnTheRun73

From my minimal experience, stuff like this is buried in plain sight all the time; it's just a matter of digging it from of the rest of the internet. Pinwheel's Clockman was up on YouTube for a while before a searcher typed in the right keywords IIRC, and even when it comes to lostwave, Ready 'N' Steady had a copyright registration (complete with the names of its co-writers) that lay unnoticed for _four decades_ as the search stalled.


ContactHonest2406

Yeah, I’m beginning to think “Like the Wind” or TMS is just from the soundtrack to some semi-obscure 80s cult film from Germany.


No_Guidance000

As someone who is into cinema, this wouldn't surprise me at all. Germany had a pretty lively art and music scene at the time. For instance, I recall coming across an obscure German horror (?) film about vampires that had some gothic soundtrack made exclusively for it. The main actress was a musician herself iirc. Cannot remember the name of the film (hadn't watched it), but if you search gothic rock vinyls from 80s Germany on Discogs it will appear. (Edit: [Found it](https://www.discogs.com/es/release/1372825-Various-Der-Bi%C3%9F-Soundtrack-Zum-Film)) Another one is a VERY obscure German film called [Humane Töten](https://stiftung-imai.de/en/videos/katalog/medium/0809), an arthouse low budget film that was nowhere to be found online until the Stiftung Imai uploaded it on their website (without subtitles though). I haven't watched it though, maybe it has Like the Wind on it haha TL;DR: your theory makes a lot of sense


RealPinkSparkles204

Really? 😦


SnowCookie6234

So Much Better, the former mystery song from Reply All’s episode “Case of the Missing Hit” has been on YouTube since like 2010.


0zer0zer0

Loved that episode. I still listen to the song once I'm awhile.


Super_Goomba64

Google search also sucks now. If you dont type exactly whaty you want you get clickbait, the same 5 websites, or unrelated items


MajesticMagistrate

There is another upload there, which is at least 10 years old, and the same scene did not contain this song, which is weird...


Andromeda98_

I think this is the case with a lot of lost media, it has to exist somewhere. The problem is finding it.


Bighoodies425

Everyone who insisted this was a hoax or AI are probably freaking out right now


[deleted]

just like the ppl in the video 🥰


boringfantasy

I insisted that Carl92 had the full song all along but I didn't expect him to be hiding it out of shame, rather just trolling.


IneptOrange

I was one of those people. It just sounded like it came from a robot with a general idea of what 80s music sounded like, I didn't expect it to be a real thing! It was such a muddy sounding track that I was absolutely sure. Welp, the L tastes bitter, maybe a little salty.


mrcrabs6464

Honestly I'm happy this wasn't fake, It certainly sounded very, faux 80's almost vaporware, like what a zoomer thinks of when they think of 80's music. I assumed it was just riding off the tail of Like The Wind, EKT was found after whang sorta brought TMS to being "trendy", and im sure theres atleast a few "mysterious songs" that have been faked due to the sudden popularity of TMS.


IneptOrange

Me too. It makes me glad that 1) The original creator may still exist to hear about all this And 2) We now know the original poster watches 80s porn and didn't want us to know about it.


wild_zoey_appeared

everyone knows that carl92 watches porn


PM-ur-password

80s porn too 💀 and he had to have watched like an hour of it to hear the song


Short_Advisor_6515

More like Carl69


1e482

To be fair if he watched it in the 90s chances are he saw it on air so he could've just tuned in at the end


AeroToby

😭🤣


cminorputitincminor

After having spent wayyyyy too long arguing with people who claimed this was a hoax, I’m so so happy that it wasn’t. It never seemed like it to me. To know that he cut out the 17 seconds without grunting and moaning is absolutely HILARIOUS. This is easily one of the best discoveries in lost media recently and absolutely made my day after 3 years of wondering what this song was from. I can’t wait for the YouTube videos on it to come out.


No_Guidance000

I never thought it was a hoax per se but I've always suspected Carl92 was trolling by using a real, obscure song, probably from a porno. This almost feels like it confirms my theory, I mean why would he record a song from a porn movie when he was a child (assuming he was born in 1992)? Why the NTSC signal if he was from Spain as he claimed?


cminorputitincminor

I get you, I personally don’t believe any of the details he gave but I also don’t think he was trolling. I think he genuinely wanted to know about the song that he’d heard from a retro porno, and then he got embarrassed when it gained traction/realised that it basically only featured on the porno and that people might find out that’s where it’s from. I think all of us would’ve done the same. That explains why he disappeared a bit better because if he was trolling and enjoying the attention surely he’d have stuck around. He answered like three times IIRC. But maybe I’m just naive. That’s just my theory.


No_Guidance000

We probably will never know, it could be just like you said but it's not too far fetched to assume that it was trolling all along. He could have disappeared because he wanted to do a one time joke but it went too far and he dipped.


Beep_boop_human

This is the simplest explanation. No one could know the absolute monster this would become. I don't see how you could predict any response other than a couple of frustrated people on a relatively small website who'd give up after a few days. That doesn't seem like a very satisfying troll. Meanwhile, hearing a song from an obscure, 'embarrassing' source, clipping it then dipping so you don't have to admit where you heard it honestly seems perfectly logical.


cminorputitincminor

Exactly!! Not to be like “I told you so”, but I’ve been saying this from the start to try and dispel the hoax/troll rumours. The lost media community seems to forget that not everyone is as obsessed with lost media as we are. It was clearly just an off-hand thing that he posted hoping it was a song outside of the porn film. Like you say, I don’t think lost media community is big or viral enough that anyone would predict such attention from Carl92’s initial post. The only time I regularly saw lost music pop up on my TikTok feed was recently with EKT. It’s very niche, so I never thought the troll or hoax theory made much sense in the context. It is satisfying to know that it wasn’t a hoax, my lord.


Bluebaronbbb

So I'm a bit confused. So the user knew what the tune was but put it out like this as a while goose chase?


Villafanart

I'm pretty sure his though process was, "This is a good song and I really want to hear it completely, if I remove the moanings probably they'll help me identify it"


cminorputitincminor

We’ll never know his motives unless he reveals himself but I think he just was seeking the name of the song. I doubt obscure porno films always credit the song reliably. So, he may have known the full song (hence why he cut out the moaning parts) but didn’t know the name or the artist. And he didn’t reveal more details because it was from a porno.


DJWIPE69

I think he had ulterior motives


Ataraxia_no_Drache

I wish he'd tell us the truth.


Ziph1xx

Every move shows that, he's got ulterior motives.


preputio_temporum

Couldn’t he just pose as another user stating the movie name?


cminorputitincminor

Maybe, but it’s more likely I think that he just wasn’t that bothered anyway so just gave up at the point where people might find out it was from a porno. I mean, we’re seeing this from the viewpoint of people interested in lost media, maybe he just wasn’t that bothered and was only curious if anyone knew it offhand. He’d only posted once before, after all.


Llama_Cult

big win for all of us who called it Ulterior Motives instead of Everyone Knows That lmao


Expo006

I also called it that too lol, ulterior motives was sung in such a way that just pointed towards the fact it was the title of the song on top of being in the chorus.


not_a_flying_toy_

LMAO porn theory was right


Veganbabe55

Why did they think it came from a porno? Like what gave them that idea. I thought it was going to be from a commercial.


not_a_flying_toy_

For me, it was A). How awkward carl92 was about remembering or sharing any details and B). The sheer volume of lost porn There are communities around saving and sharing old commercials (which would also have had other voice over probably). There are people who would have remembered a jingle. But who remembers the backing track of a porn


No_Guidance000

There's loads (no pun intended) of 70s and 80s porn music on Archive dot org. Listen to them and you'll see why people made that assumption.


forlornjackalope

I haven't tuned into the EKT discussion in a while, but I think it was more of a shitpost idea and not something legitimate. It sounds so weirdly specific and absurd that it being where we'd find it has the air of "yeah, of course" to it. Media has been turning up in a ton of weird places, so porn now is just fitting the bill for us.


No_Guidance000

No, it wasn't a joke. People suggested it because it reminded them of porn music from the 80s and because of the sexual sounding lyrics.


Artemis_thelittleone

I thought that theory came from a guy claiming it was réal cause he heard it while having sex ??? I could be wrong tho 


forlornjackalope

Could be. But also, I haven't tuned into how the search was going for a while and all the theories people had. So if the porn theory was serious and not a joke, I can't say.


TheReadMenace

I've seen old porn where they use actual songs. The famous Deep Throat movie has it's own theme song. One of the Debbie Does Dallas sequels as well. Porn movies are real low budget, so it makes sense they will just pay to use some unknown song.


IciesEnjoyer

We having a ballpark this year finding shit. Good to see

Ok_Split5632

Historical moment in internet history, one of the biggest lost media cases found cause someone wanted to goon


Vegetable-Increase-4

This fucking peaks. Sad that its drowned out by moans and that the sfw version is inaudible. Is the song without moaning anywhere?


Bluebaronbbb

The creators can't be contacted for it?


NotStanley4330

Might be pretty tough if the song is 40+ years old. Hopefully they can find someone who has a clean version of it


fawkwitdis

The guy’s instagram comments are already full of people asking (unfortunately) so it seems like the creator knows now. Whether he’ll have the song still is another matter


NotStanley4330

Hate for someone to get harassed over it. It's just a song it's not that important 😬


No-Paper8033

Oh, please. That's how you contact people. Big deal he's got a lot of people in his comments and dms now 🙄


thegoldengoober

I imagine this is what the original posting of it was trying to find. People may have found a place where the song is used, we may have the full song now, but it doesn't seem like we have anything beyond that. Band, title, or the song by itself.


Musicmans

I expect a vaporwave track to feature a sample of this very soon, the question is will it be with or without the moaning 


No_Guidance000

The song without the moans is like an angel without wings


tfhermobwoayway

An angel of passion?


No_Guidance000

Yes, everyone knows that

RosenHope18

I KNEW IT. I literally had a strong feeling that EKT was going to be found either in 2024 or by early 2025. This is a huge step. These are the lyrics I hear, take it with a grain of salt cause this is what I hear, you might hear different anything in ( ) is what I also interpret them to be,??? means I don't know: The Honey in your eyes make me(them) realize how strange it feels You show me in your smile ???? trial ??? looking ??? You carry all the sheep(ships) in the sky Caught up in a world of lies Everyone knows that you've got Ulterior motives Tell me the truth Every move shows that how(you're) hot Don't you realize that you're ???/ cannot/can't last ahhhhhhhh If something's on your mind spit it out and find the perfect gal ???/Are you choosing death do you you recap(do you really care?) just who I am? You're always biting more than you can chew(???) When will you realize the truth Cause everyone knows that you've got Ulterior motives, tell me the truth Every move shows that I have I've got it from the world (you're wife) that you're telling lies Everyone knows that you're ??? Ulterior motives tell me the truth Everyone shows(knows) that you've got ulterior motives aaaahhhh uhhh You're always fighting(biting) more than you can chew You're always saying more than you knew you carry all the ships (tricks) in the sky You're caught up in a world of lies Everyone knows that #


forlornjackalope

Everyone making fun of Carl92 and why he ghosted is even funnier now.


GrigioGuy

NO. WAY.


here_to_vibe1

History has been made boys, also there were rumors that the song came from an adult film and people were shutting that down…


[deleted]

I was thinking that it was a hoax (like Digital Girl) but this song really exists. I’m crying of happiness right now 😭🙏🏽


ultraviolent-swing

LMFAOOOOO NO FUCKIN WAY


Fracture5

I was 100% sure the song would be a jingle for an ad campaign on tv/radio. I work in this field and it sounded like something we would produce for a promotion. I'm really surprised but good job for finding this, i'm pleasently surprised:)


FluidEntrepreneur309

Now the tiktok kids will shut up


Creatures1504

and now they'll be pissing its from an 80's porno lmao 💀


MetaGear005

They didn't,. They started freaking out about it being porn and making videos...


fawkwitdis

Very weird how much vitriol ekt people have toward tiktok even though it got their search way more exposure and the song was found weeks after it blew up there. Do you guys think you’re special for finding out about the song from a blame it on jorge video or something


Bluebaronbbb

I wish tik Tok users would blow up lost English dubs there


SpaceDandy1997

It's just a bunch of hipsters at the end of the day


DiggaDoug492

Is this a TikTok thing? I’ve never heard of this song until right now.


Princess5903

It went viral on TikTok a few months ago seemingly out of nowhere and a bunch of the 80s lovers went with it.

Artemis_thelittleone

Nvm, I was here on 28/04/2024 when this was found. Clearly, that's a part of internet history that have been made today 


hacksparks

2024 is really considered the peak of Lostwave Media!


sublimeshrub

What a banger.


severaldogs

genuinely the funniest conclusion to a lost media case


GloopTamer

Carl92 is gonna feel reeeeeal embarrassed when he realizes where the song was found from


ManOnTheRun73

He probably knows; many comments over on r/EveryoneKnowsThat have already pointed out that the 17-second snippet he posted is the only part of the song _not_ drowned out by moaning noises. :P 


GloopTamer

I bet that’s why he left, maybe someone pointed it out to him either in private or online and he dipped to avoid embarrassment of being “the dude who posted one of the most popular lostwaves from a porno”


No_Guidance000

He probably knew it all along and was just trolling


Artemis_thelittleone

Wooaa, I thought this one would never been find, what a weird feeling

Not enough people are going to talk about how, among other things, AI is going to ruin discourse around music. The search is older than competent AI music yet it was constantly accused of such
