Sometime between 1982 and 1984, a German kid was making mixtapes of songs he recorded from the radio. He kept lists of the band names and song titles on each tape, but a few were unknown. All except one of the songs were eventually identified.
Around 2004, his sister hit the Internet message boards for help finding the name of the band and the song. While many promising leads have turned up over the ensuing 16 years, the song and band remain unidentified.

Wow, interesting. I wonder how many songs like this there are out there.
Definitely a demo or something...
Probably from a hopeful band that never got off the ground.
I think the song at 7:57 in the second vid could be from the same group.
Interesting thread, thanks for sharing this.

There was a song I liked when I was 5 years old that I haven't been able to identify till this day. It should've been relatively easy to find, as it was on the radio a lot. Surely it must've made the Hot 100 pop charts. I've been through all of the charts with no luck. For many years, I could remember the melody long after I'd forgotten the lyrics, but even that memory is gone now.
More recently, mistaking Earth, Wind & Fire as the artist of this song from the 80s prevented me from finding it for over 30 years:

Is this guy that looks like the 'Anonymous' group charter gonna shut the fuck up and play this mysterious song?
No wonder it's so mysterious, he wont shut the hell up long enough to play it.
ROFL!

Side note:
Deva your avatars are always so sexy!
I have a question for you.
I would be honored if you would pick an avatar for me. Your choice for one for me.
And see if MO would set the one you picked for me as my avatar( no more blank ).
I would love you to pick me out one you like for me.
Just asking :)

Back years ago when Google wasn't so stingy with lyrics (due to copyright I guess), it would have been totally easy to find that song... but alas, I can't find it.

Well, the only thing that the number 52 brings to mind is a deck of playing cards, as that's the number of cards in a standard deck.

Hey, you picked it, I'll take it!!!
See if MO will place it in my avatar box.
Can you MO,?
( I'm not familiar on doing it, or posting vids and links. I'm on a phone , I don't have my home computer. Haven't for a while. I can do all that on one, but never learned it all on a phone)
