[@bakedsalad9205]

The vocals have this inflection and accent that makes me believe that it may come from an asian city pop song, and as is the case with some city pop songs is that some of them have english lyrics mixed in with the lyrics in their native language. Also the reason why lyrics don’t turn up results is because with many city pop songs, the lyrics aren’t written or saved anywhere besides maybe a vinyl sleeve for the project the song is on

[@MirageOneiric]

Omg, that makes a lot of sense, this does feel like a song from some Asian country since we used to have a lot of songs like this back in the late 80s!! The vocals reminds me a lot of the Japanese band Omega Tribe, even this one Indian singer I forgot the name of whose voice is exactly the same as this

[@Tenshii_Artii]

Now that you mentioned it, I wouldn’t be surprised. If you look back in Japanese songs in the 80s, some of the singers have almost near perfect fluency in English, it’s sometimes hard to even tell right off the bat that it’s an Asian singer. Unless you actually look at them singing the song, and got notice the hint of their accents. One thing that 80s songs also sometimes have, is Asian Influences. Much like ‘A Taste of Honey’ with their cover of ‘Tsukiyaki’ One example I can also think of this, is a singer Tatsuro Yamashita. My first song I discovered him from was ‘Mermaid’, and I didn’t even realize it was by a Japanese guy until my mother pointed it out.

[@Welderborea]

You have a good point. The instrumental (the bassline specifically) reminds me of city pop now that you mention it. Might be onto something

[@CVerse]

So now someone is gonna need to go through a bunch of Vinyls and CDs just to find this song then?

Also helps that at the beginning it’s easy to interpret it as "Hikari norishi in the Sky" rather than "You're counting all the sheep in the Sky"

THIS IS A COMMENT FROM ANOTHER USE I AM FOLLOWING UP ON(ulterior motive 1993) .the story line makes sense . The music is similar , with the same crappy audio . It does reference romance , which can tie back into the "counting sheep in the sky". The cast of actors does also reference how there is alot of above fate , and it is a romance based movie. The "caught up in a world of lies" can also be connected vaguely with the trailer scenes , of the people being lovey dovey as a rando walks by. I'm pasting this here , from a comment i made , just so you can see it.

It's gotta be a japanese singer, the "of lies" seals it for me. The way the letter "f" is pronounced in japanese is different than it is in most western countries. For English you press your teeth directly up to your bottom lip and it produces a harsher sound, but for japanese the teeth rest just behind the bottom lip creating a softer tone more similar to the "h" sound.

[@palemoon7865]

That was my guess too, either Japanese or Filipino.

it is very likely a japanese singer but the "f" sound does not sound japanese at all listen to it more clearly

I’ve shown this to my mother, she was born in the 70’s. She swears that she has heard of this from somewhere, even theorizing that it’s probably a boy band. Even though I’m a gen z teen, the singer sounds familiar to me as well. Mom used to play music all the time in the house from 8 tracks, cassettes to record player. This seems nostalgic to me.. I can’t get this out of my head. Hopefully someone can discover who at least the singer is, their vocals sounds gorgeous! Edit: Maybe Wham! (Specifically George Micheal)? Last Edit: Oh! The song’s been found. Awesome! Never heard of the artists, so that’s interesting. 👍

The only way we can continue the search is if Carl92 wakes up from his eternal sleep and tells us where he recorded this song. Because all he said in his original post was that he only remembers recording the song on a CD while learning how to capture audio on his computer via a microphone or something, somewhere in 1999 or something. Some people have speculated that this song might have originated from an MTV Broadcast given the Pilot Tone which is only present in MTS Broadcasts in a selective few countries. If Carl92 steps up and tells us where he recorded this song, then we could eventually get another search going again. Also I know what you're thinking: "What if Carl92 doesn't remember where he recorded this song?" Well, trying to remember what you found is one thing. Where you found it is another thing. It's not that hard to remember where you recorded something. Plus, we're only asking for a Country here, not the exact Longitude and Latitude of the location where Carl92 recorded it.

@@yusayoutube Listen again. There’s clearly an “ps” sound at the end of the word “shapes” there’s no way it can be “shame”

[@phantasma616]

the first line is not english, its japanese.

[@rute_awakening]

@@phantasma616 This theory makes no sense. It’s clearly English. It doesn’t even sound like Japanese.

[@119Agent]

Look up the mystery around Ready and Steady. That song was hard to find the origins of and for a long time was thought to not actually exist.

[@Ganondorf98]

LMFFFFFAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOIIIII

[@what-cj3vi]

Still cant believe this came from an adult film ☠

[@DestroyTheWoke]

Sounds like it should be in a 90s Japanese commercial.

[@gogoutoriart]

Just happened upon this whole bit of lost media (not really my thing), but from a music industry standpoint; could this have been a demo song for a singer/pop star that was never picked up? That could explain why no one can find it officially. A lot of songs are written/demo recorded by production teams that would then shop it out to different big artists. I'm not sure how common that was in the 80s/90s timeline we're looking at here, but I know it happens all the time in the music industry today. Does anyone know if the original poster had any music industry or producer ties? I really hope the song can be found! It sounds like a bop~

[@noderzleadgen]

yes as it would have been released anyways because the linndrum was for sure used in the studio, and is only reserved for higher artists overall. Who knows

[@GabrielLopez-qe2od]

The song has been found. It was made by the director of a Corn (replace with P) movie. It's from 1986 and I think one of the stars is the one singing

[@gogoutoriart]

@@GabrielLopez-qe2od I saw that, and it has to be legit the funniest conclusion to a lost media saga lmaooo

[@mattdee3213]

Reminds me of that song when people posted 10 hour videos, It was simply called 'Jah man' and midway had the most beautiful piano riff before it went back into madness. It disappeared when YT took it down.

[@BackroomsFan24730]

Every time I’m listening to the song it gives me chills for some reason

[@matty6598]

This is amazing

[@alan22370]

I listened to the words and it seems to me that it could be: You carry all your shame in disguise, caught up in a world of lies, everyone knows that you got, empirical / a period motive / motives tell me the truth, every luxuries…

[@ILikeBreadBro]

No its ulterior motives

[@rainbowspongebob]

I don’t think it’s shame or disguise

[@AyWhoIsJoshy]

no it sounds more like "You're counting all the sheep, in the sky. Caught up in a world of lies. Everyone knows that, you got, ulterior motive. Tell me the truth. Every move shows"

[@robloxattila]

You carrying all this shame in disguise, Caught up in your love of lie-e-es, [Chorus] **Everyone Knows That** (yeah we got) Ulterior Motives, Tell me the Tru-u-th/Tu-u-ne Every move shows-.. ***(ends)***

[@___flower.]

i swear ive heard this song in a roller skating disco before

[@Alexyellow_]

idk why but the first thought i had when i first listened to this (the original) was that it was some song from an 80s or 90s cartoon (like jem and holograms) that either was from a very obscure show or was a song that didn't make the cut, which is why it sound familiar to some people. Plus the bad audio (For me at least) sounds like something someone would record from their old phone, or maybe a VHS that went through a lot of gen loss.

[@gr4veyards0uls]

omg this is amazing

[@Super_bacon46]

lyrics You're counting all the sheep in the sky , your caught up in a world full of lies , everyone knows you got ulterior motives [oh tell me the truth]

[@sticky-note1981]

I showed this to my mom and she thinks the band who produced this song was Culture Club, but doesn't know the song name. I hope the full song is found one day

[@ak47xxy92]

FOUND.

[@user-saraswatidevi]

Why does the instrumental sound so nice tho

[@Tanukes]

my headcanon is this is from an alternative universe where this song was POPPIN', and it somehow crossed over into our universe by some wild chance

[@RaymondTracer]

Given the theory of finite particle arrangements, I wouldn't be surprised if something like this could happen, somewhere out there in time and space, on another planet just like earth unfathomable light years away from us, this song hit #1 on every song chart in the world.

[@moonamoonz]

Copied comment.

[@NolanHOfficial]

Theory: EKT is a testing audio that is used for looping, it was not significant, so no artist has been found

[@dogcore]

commenting now so that i can come back in 5 years and either find the answer or see just how many more people are part of this little piece of internet history :3

[@GhostedPizza]

I’m convinced that this song alongside the most mysterious song on the internet is just from an alternate universe/timeline that managed to intersect with our own, that’s why nobody can find the origin, with this song coming from a timeline where the evolution of technology started exactly 53 years later than it did in ours due to some weird event, leading to 2023 being the new 80s (I’m not crazy I just find this stuff cool)

[@Tenshii_Artii]

At one point before the remaster, I thought it must have been a Belinda Carlisle song in her earlier 80s rock era.

[@mara-di4wr]

Ima ask my dad because hes a really big Belinda Carlisle fan and always replays the radio with his cds whenever hes in the kitchen 😭

There's an alternate universe where this song is their rick roll. And Never Gonna Give You Up is a lost song in their world.

Its actually "Your Carrying all the Truth inside" not "Counting all the sheep/shapes in the sky"
