On August 2nd, 2020, Reddit user Clipperjangle would make a post to the r/lostwave subreddit, saying in the post:
"The time: 1994 The place: Portland, OR The radio station: KBOO The song: unidentified. I doubt this will ever be solved, but maybe someone can prove me wrong? FYI the guitar notes at the very end are the beginning of the song played after this one, "Last Call" by Elliott Smith".
In the post, Clipperjangle would provide the full song via "Clyp". On October 15th, 2020, Clipperjangle would identify the song himself after shazaming it, he'd update the post on how he found it saying:
"It is solved! It's Four by Four by Slug, from 1992. All credit goes to Shazam. I guess the song must have been added to its database recently, because I tried Shazmming it multiple times before making this post last August. Usually I'm a lo-fi guy, but I actually think this song sounds a lot better in the full-fidelity version than it does in my old radio recording".
