Search History[]
The song was first posted to the New Wave Outpost forums by user Guglielm on August 23rd, 2012 along with multiple other unknown songs. He didn’t provide any information about the songs.
On April 13th, 2013, Guglielm commented on a WFMU.org page for a playlist made by radio DJ Terre T. He said all of the songs were recorded off of WFMU "ages ago".[1]
A week later, Guglielm commented on a WFMU playlist made by DJ Bob Brainen, specifying that the songs were recorded 20-30 years prior, specifically between 1981-1984 or 1991-1993, off of WFMU.[2]
Guglielm reposted the song to WatZatSong on July 15th, 2013, without providing any additional information about it. It samples people calling for each other, and at the end a 1983 Sports Broadcast plays. It’s unknown if that was a part of the song.
On August 30th, 2014, Guglielm reposted the song to WatZatSong again, saying “no clue whatsoever”. It was most likely released on vinyl due to audible crackles.
On March 26th, 2023, Guglielm confirmed that he digitized all of his cassette tapes with the songs on them in the early 1990s, and no longer had any of them anymore.[3]
Over time, the song was reuploaded to YouTube by several users, such as Q, VisualConfusion, MistaEgg, AlianTheObscure, and multiple others, amassing over 3k views.
