Poor Christmas

Poor-Christmas, sometimes called Eyes of Love or Come On, is a mysterious song recorded in October 1987 in Germany. It was recorded by René, also known as DeDiniDevil, the same person who recorded On The Roof.

History
In October 1987, the song was recorded from an unknown German radio station onto an unknown cassette by someone named René M. Some possible stations include Radio FFN, Hassen 3, or NDR 2 (where The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet is likely from). The name and artist may have been announced at the time, and René remembers "Poor Christmas" or "Your Christmas" by a band called something like "The Face."

Some time before 2004, René started a website called DeDiniDevil. On it, he posted a "wanted" section with mysterious songs. It is unknown when "Poor-Christmas" was first posted there, it was sometime around 2001. This website gained some notoriety in the community because another song on it, known at the time as "Stay (The Second Time Around)," was well liked.

On September 16, 2007, another individual by the name of René R. posted the song onto spiritofradio.ca. He claimed that he had been looking for over 3 years. The post did not receive any attention.

In September 2013, Stay (The Second Time Around) became a viral phenomenon and was identified shortly after. This brought new attention to the DeDiniDevil website. On March 31, 2015, René R. as Osterhase8 posted the song to YouTube for wider exposure.

By 2020, The Mysterious Song Discord server began to take a liking to this song and created a channel for it. In October 2020, new information surfaced about what René remembered from recording and a list of possible stations it may have came from.

In this channel new leads sprang up accordingly. One song was called "Christmas Day" by a band called The Reflection. Another called "Dance Away (Christmas Day)" by a band called The Present. One more being called "Steal Her Away (This Christmas)" by a band called Face 2 Face. By February 2021, A Reflection and The Present were ruled out. Face 2 Face makes the most sense because the band was remembered as "The Face."

On November 25th, 2021, Rene M. (the OP) posted a full length redigitised version of the recording to his YouTube channel MellieTerry.

Current Leads

 * Face 2 Face - Steal Her Away (This Christmas)
 * A 7" single listed on 45cat by a rare band called Face 2 Face. No audio of this song currently exists online. B side is called "Coming After You". A Fandom user has claimed that they used to know one of the members, that they have a copy of the song and that it is not "Poor Christmas".

Ruled Out Leads

 * Topaz - Christmas
 * 7" pop-rock single from Discogs with no current audio available, was purchased by Bluey Grifter and confirmed to not be PC.
 * A Reflection - Christmas Day
 * Audio is now available online in both single and demo mixes, not PC
 * The Present - Dance Away (Christmas Day)
 * Another 7" single, audio now exists on YouTube. Not PC.
 * Phil Watts – I Need Your Love Again
 * 7" single from Discogs, bought by Bluey Grifter and confirmed to not be PC. Title goes along with the theme of the chorus but unlike the two other leads, both the title and the artist name go against René's memory. René was proven to have a decently reliable memory when "Dreamtime Lover" was solved, having remembered the artist being "Q. Tango Mouse" and it ended up actually being Quango Mouse.
 * Slapstick - Eyes of Love
 * Track from the album T-4-2 (Tea For Two), LP was bought by René R. and confirmed to not be PC.
