another internet mystery indeed. I'm still not over how they actually found the "ulterior motives (everyone knows that)" song.

[waffletaco]

yea! I was prolly gonna make a post about it when the guys release the song officially (if they can't find the original copy of the song digging through boxes, they are gonna re-record it as best as they can. It helps that they still are musicians and have been making a living all these years that way).

What's the band name? I didn't realise that was found. Dod they really have no idea people were looking for their song for so long? Last I heard someone heard the song in the bg of a porn film.

Yes! The song was found in a porn from the 80's. The whole thing is wild! I'm mad at myself for not thinking of that because one of my co-workers had told me that if i had wanted more experience in film- I should work backstage on a porn film. Like I wouldn't be able to put it on my resume- but it's for experience (I was doing PA stuff at the time). I was thinking the song had to be a demo and not something mainstream at all..I just didn't make the connection that the song could have been in that type of film.

His name is Christopher Saint Booth and he was already on tiktok still making music. I don't know how the song never came up on his FYP! I constantly got it. But here is his IG- they're working on remaking it right now because they haven't found the original yet- https://www.instagram.com/christophersaintbooth/?hl=en

The whole thing is so funny and awesome. I don't get how it never came across his FYP on his tiktok! I constantly got it. I am excited to hear the song when it's released though!! I can't believe someone actually found it.

omg I fucking hope it charts on billboard. That would be wild.

[tinkerbellpixee]

I am really curious to see how it charts because so many people were searching for it. But people are getting impatient for it's release, so hopefully they don't lose some of the audience. People don't get how long it takes to get something almost 40 years old rerecorded!
