Not a single word on how KZbinr Whang did all that work to uncover the song too.

True.

That's a good point. He's cited in our entry though knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-most-mysterious-song-on-the-internet

@Jordiw00t Ай бұрын

What did he do exactly, other than posting some videos and repeating info from message boards/fora?

@chuckblaze5147 Ай бұрын

Funny how the solution sometimes is found through the employment of means typically inept at bringing good results. You'd think that contacting leads at radio stations, digging through archiving records or deducing titles based on lyrics (in a systematized spreadsheet) would have been way more efficient, but this time it was the local press saving history from obscurity!

@JodyBruchon Ай бұрын

It's the same key. Slightly faster, less synths. You may appreciate Axis of Awesome"s "4 Chord Song" or the glorious Pachelbel Rant.

Yeah it starts with the same chords but deviates from there. I had that thought too

Another clarification - Lydia was Anton Riedel/bluuue, not the sister of him. Her brother Darius is the one who recorded the song off the radio, but she did all the online posting trying to identify it for him.

I have a song like that. Its only named '360' on my 13+ year old playlist. Downloaded off of limewire during its hayday. Its not english and yet it doesnt sound like any other particular language other than vaguely western european. I've ran it through a few song identifying apps and came up blank. I should hunt more

Can someone tell me how it got that traction? Is it because the song was liked by a lot of people?

@shingshongshamalama Ай бұрын

It spent decades being completely untraceable. Nobody could identify it and people went to enormous lengths without any evidence at all of its origins or even any real information about it. It became a meme because it was so unknown.

@drfsupercenter Ай бұрын

It was first posted in 2007 but that Gabriel Viera guy spammed it all over like 20 subreddits in 2019, making loads of people interested

I don't think they'll do that. The FEX guys seem cool and they're going to remake the song... I'm sure they won't choose the option to remove videos using it. Maybe just give them ad revenue

The band's name is "Fex", it's just stylized as "FEX" in capital letters, but it's pronounced as a (possibly made-up) word. Hädrich confirmed that in several interviews he gave over the past week. Also, "NDR" is at one point mispronounced "NDP". Also, there's a lot of confusing reporting regarding who "Anton Riedel" and "bluuue" exactly was - most sources say it was Lydia herself, not her brother, who originally uploaded the song snippet for the purpose of identification. I don't think Darius ever actively engaged with the community, Lydia always spoke on his behalf.

@KnowYourMeme Ай бұрын

Thanks for the clarification!

@drfsupercenter Ай бұрын

It's pronounced like the second syllable of "effects" And yes, Anton Riedel is Lydia - females often don't get taken seriously online so she used a guy's name when posting at first. Her brother Darius made the recording but she did all the internet sleuthing.

@ImEricBro Ай бұрын

The name "FEX" is German slang for "nerd."

Just a reminder that the mods of the lost song subreddits + major lostwave KZbinr Q / Ziro still thinks it isn't solved because the original demo isn't in high quality. Absolute fools.
