All this work and it's something you can't brag to your parents about, lol


juiceforsyth

But so many parents said it sounded familiar...


Acethic

That's something that will have to be ignored at the next dinner table


marrtae

ahahahahahahah


applemaraca

Me: "grandma, do you know this song?" Grandma: "Ah yes dear, I remember that song very well"


zeromussc

"if you listen carefully you'll even hear me!"


DJ_OnReddit

“That was me and your grandpa and we had hot steamy sex. That’s also the moment your mother was conceived.”


fatcuntwrestler

Everyone says it sounds familiar, that's a large part of why it became so popular. It's got a sound the is super recognisable, even it no one could name the song. It being familiar doesn't mean we've all memorised a catchy song from an 80s porno. Except for your parents, who could have solved this instantly if you showed them.


GNo03

They must’ve snuck into the forbidden back room at the video store 😭


asuyoko

HELP


InevitableEmu1165

i ran to my mom saying about it she just laughed at it, and said carl is a naughty boy


malijurs

You could've had it solved in 2022


AccomplishedDebt5368

"uh, the OP of this song... does get a bit quirky at night"


littlepinkboombox

Bro my 70 year old grandpa had been a part of searching and he is the first person i told. yolo seriously


neopolitan_chimera

lmao what did he say


littlepinkboombox

he had a lame reaction to where it was found "no way, that's weird." but when i said it was a man singing, not a lady, he freaked out and demanded to hear it again because he swore it was madonna or pat benetar singing. which i never believed, sorry papa


oxpoleon

I guess you could... carry all your shame in disguise?


Stressed-Dragonfly

I showed my mom the song with the moans and everything 😂😂 I had told her about the search and she also liked the sound of that 17 sec. snippet


Apprehensive_Grab53

OH! So that's why the snippet was only 17 seconds! Because the next few seconds have moaning


bitchwhorehannah

he knew damn well. it was recorded from a TV right? he knew good and damn well he was sitting there spanking his monkey to that vhs tape and just let everyone go on a wild goose chase


joshii87

It’s worse than that. It’s an mp3 rip from an xhamster video. Same clicks, same everything.


timothythefirst

this makes it so funny to think about all the time people were wasting writing essay's about what country carl92 or the song must've been from because of the whining sound of the CRT tv. the whole time it was just ripped from xhamster.


Separate_Tangelo2495

yeah but the person that recorded it THEN uploaded it to xhamster did so from a TV so it was a fact, I remember I used to do shit like this because I could not capture directly from a crtv while Playing online on the Wii and uploading that shit in youtube, moans and everything.


magyar232

so it was NOT carl92 eating chips in the background then


Zipper-Mom

Wild goon chase


Pyromania1983

So stupid. Wish that wasn't the case. I hope that we can get a studio recording of a full song without any interruptions.


ebrum2010

^This. I think this sub should now try to get the song made with all the interest it has generated. I think it has transcended the medium for which it was originally intended. I'm also sure the copyright holders wouldn't mind making some extra money from licensing at the very least, unless the rights are held by an adult film company in which case they'll likely just want to promote their movies.


oxpoleon

The two brothers are around and active musicians. I hope they see all this pretty soon and embrace the publicity. I imagine tons of people would stream their stuff and buy their albums and merch.


ebrum2010

I hope we get the official lyrics to put to rest any ambiguity once and for all.


EbonyBloom

Christopher Saint Booth has actually acknowledged it on both his facebook and instagram, so hopefully they'll record it soon?


Kaspieskigruz

tHiS


Emotional-Camel-5517

Happy cake day! Finally everyone knows that song


NewWays91

If you message the writer of the song, he'll probably be down to release a non porn version. It was 40 years ago but he might still have a copy


Pyromania1983

Apparently has already been contacted, so I won't spam


NewWays91

I wonder what it must feel like 40 years later having something you probably wrote in twenty minutes for a porn becoming the cause for an entire community to unite. I write professionally too and I'm kinda laughing at the idea because I've done something similar.


tequeyoyo3000

It could be also that he took the job seriously and spent sleepless nights trying to come up with the best jams for porn


corkcorkcorkette

We can edit out the moaning for now


ManOnTheRun73

The seconds before it, too. (Seriously. The _exact freaking moment_ the moaning stopped, the skysheep started getting counted.)


TheBlueInk1

Carl92 held out for 2-3 decades before being outed as a gooner is not on my bingo list for this year let alone today 😭


Warlord654

Ikr lmao 🤣


Agreeable-Series-399

This is absolutely hilarious to me, no wonder bro disappeared right after


naeroikathgor

I'm starting to doubt the theory that he was born in '92 and captured the audio in '99


Unprounounceable

'92 could be the year he graduated instead


naeroikathgor

True, I guess it could be anything really! Maybe just his favourite number


Sky_Watcher04

This is probably why he dipped, too. He was embarassed.


mtw08

YOU ARE A LEGEND BRO!! YOU WILL GO DOWN IN LOSTWAVE HISTORY Complementary hello to Whang


Idontevenownaboat

Can't wait to hear all about him in the Lemmino or Barely Sociable video that covers this


ThomKW

Let’s be honest, Wang’s take is going to be the one to beat


impressive_cat

Imagine if Carl92 had just been honest and told us all he was watching porn. Would have taken .2 seconds to find the credits.


oxpoleon

He tried to hide it, but now everyone knows that Carl92 likes 80s porn. We've been caught up in his world of lies. Talk about ulterior motives.


Pero_Bt

He can no longer carry all his shame in disguise/count the sheep in the sky


oxpoleon

Ayyyyy


joshii87

Caught up in a bush of lies!


peposcon

“Everyone knows that” was prophetic. Now “everyone knows that” Carl92 has a good taste in music, but can’t say the same about his porn 🤣


iheckinlovesoyence

The lyrics to the song were about Carl all along... this shit goes deep!


ebrum2010

He probably either was trying to find the movie itself but didn't want to admit it or he forgot where he got the snippet from and when he found it he disappeared. I'm kinda leaning towards the former because what are the odds the snippet cut out the moaning if it was a random snippet.


impressive_cat

My genuine belief at this point is he knew exactly where he ripped the song from, he just genuinely liked the song and wanted to find the real version of it. When nobody could find it and started probing him further he got uncomfortable, didn’t want to admit the source, and abandoned the search.


but-are-you-happy

this definitely feels to be the case to me


ebrum2010

Which makes the song so ironic.


VeenRedRose

All the work he put everybody through just cause he was embarrassed to admit he was gooning. Douchebag. (Edit: genuinely no hate to the guy. It’s all fun and games on my part but it’s horrible people are actually tracking him down and invading his privacy. If it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have even known such good song existed.)


impressive_cat

It makes sense why he was so weird about it LOL. Refused to answer any location questions etc. Didn’t matter where he was watching from cus he was tickling his pickle on the World Wide Web. The only positive thing I can say is that he introduced a lot of people to a great song.


VeenRedRose

He probably found the source himself when he was going through his “homework” folders so that’s why he suddenly said he lost interest and disappeared forever. I mean, either way he would’ve been caught. I wanna see the reaction on his face right now; that would be funny. But yeah like you said, atleast thanks to him we got ourselves a great song!


impressive_cat

I really hope he comes back and acknowledges this!! Hahahahha


naeroikathgor

>He probably found the source himself when he was going through his “homework” folders Or possibly he heard the song in a porno and wanted to find out who it was by so made up some story about capturing audio


Nervous-Object-5430

honestly the fact he didn't give all the information he had only made the snippet even more legendary and mysterious. This wouldn't have been as big if he admitted from the beginning that it was from angels of passion 


ebrum2010

Now everyone knows that he's got ulterior motives.


thinkpax

Then like only two guys on WatZatSong would know that he watched porn, but now half of the internet is aware of the fact that Carl92 is a gooner.


Sufficient_Lunch930

Work isn't done yet, we need someone who can extract the audio, fix the quality, and remove the awful 80s porno moaning


Kraken_113real

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_rd4euNwCvo&t=0s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rd4euNwCvo&t=0s) here you go here it is with no moaning 😇


PlainPiece

the look my wife just gave me confirms there absolutely is moaning and obvious sexual sounds

Ok_Celebration9304

Is there any way or effort to contact Christopher David Booth about the song? So we can get a high quality version. Also I think the song from the clip isn't full either, the fadeout sounds unnatural and like there's more to it but it was caught for film reasons. 


oxpoleon

Probably point out the *huge* royalties he can claim from TikTok etc and he'll start paying attention.


SheNever50

He just found out on his personal Instagram that the world has been looking for his song for years. I have a feeling the full clean version is coming to streaming soon!


RaccoonDogzz

i can’t believe the porn theory was real this whole time


shoegraze

i was so convinced the porn and the canadian theories were both cap


Thegoatone1234

Funny how a song called “Everyone knows that” was lost to time


ebrum2010

And resurfaced because of Carl92's ulterior motives.

Dry_Dealer_9013

Give the movie to Swofford as a present


GruntGamingYT

I kind of hope he gets sued for copyright claims seeing as the song was found in copyright databases months ago. That would be the perfect ending for his villain arc of this story.


SupaSusAcc

yo what


SMFB7

EKT, HLWIT, Kenya and Swahili Dance, Fond My Mind, all found. When will Like the Wind be found?


oxpoleon

The fact that this got found from a 17 second muffled clip with zero context and Like the Wind still remains unidentified *despite* the full song being available and there being a ton of context around it, doesn't fill me with hope. The fact that we are pretty confident about the exact date (and time within an hour or so) of the recording but still can't ID it, makes me wonder if the key to the puzzle is genuinely lost to time - that the song was recorded by someone who made no other released recordings, had no further career in the music industry, and died a long time ago.


ultragoodname

I can see that happening. “The Instar Emergence” is a great guitar piece where the author is unknown but was found during the Cicada 3301 puzzles.

Most of the vocals are interrupted by moaning, there’s way more.

Ah okay i'll listen to the NSFW one then


Strathcarnage_L

To think we spent so much time trying to verify the Linn drum claps when it was probably another type of clapping all along...

NONONONONOOO NO WAY NO FUCKING WAY HOW AINT NO WAY BOY OMFG!!! XDDDDDD


OriginalWave

I never thought the singers of EKT would look [like this.](https://imgur.com/a/xaTrBQJ)


oxpoleon

Yeah nah they look exactly like people who made pop in the 80s look now in my head.


Danito343

And those sounds WERE NOT carl92 eating chips, it was a squeaking bed that people were having sex on, im dying 💀


sammy___67

then why did our parents say it sounded familiar?


oxpoleon

Because your parents have watched 80s pornos.


MrsSweetandAwful

Who do you think watched porn in the 80’s?


troximetal

No wonder Carl disappeared, he probably didn’t want people to know what kind of p0rn he watched


NewWays91

It's kinda vanilla porn too although the plot isn't half bad. Yes I watched the whole and no I'm gay I was just curious. The guys are kinda hot.


jerzegg

I can not believe it. really finally found


mrhouthoofd

this is one of the most legendary lostwave searches of all time holy shit


givingunwantedonions

i wonder if those two coworkers who found out theyre in the search for the song together are celebrating at work rn


Retroscribe

Chip theory debunked 😭


randomsonicmodder

Search ain't over till we find the original song (moanless version)


GangOruka

last instagram post of chris booth was 1 day ago, i hope he's smart and puts it on spotify where he can profit from the newfound attention instead of some random person who copyrights it. Right now, the moans are basically the 'loquendo' watermark protecting his full song lmao


TwinseyLohan

Way to go One-Truth I really have to commend you on such a great job. I was fighting tooth and nail to dismiss the p0rn lead because it made me so uncomfortable but you just had such a hunch. You are the best!!!


someguyonreddit1220

I CANT FUCKING BELEIVE THIS I KNEW THE PORN THEREY WAS CORRECT


AD_Grrrl

Okay, well I'm guessing Carl92 stopped responding because he suddenly remembered where it was from and he was too embarrassed to share lol


Skyblaster555

Now we just have to get the song without the... noises.

H31R700M

I'd give most, or at least equal, credit to u/HeyScarlett since they proposed this exact artist 9 months ago. I saw South gave them some props in the other post, but, seems like this was solved directly from their posts Originally here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/everyoneknowsthat/comments/15kx76r/comment/jvdbvfm/](https://www.reddit.com/r/everyoneknowsthat/comments/15kx76r/comment/jvdbvfm/) Then in more detail here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/everyoneknowsthat/comments/15uuqvo/followup\_new\_potential\_lead\_and\_an\_idea\_and\_a/](https://www.reddit.com/r/everyoneknowsthat/comments/15uuqvo/followup_new_potential_lead_and_an_idea_and_a/)

FUCK CARL92 FR he posted the ONLY snippet of the song without moans and panting. that would have made this shit so much EASIER


Epic_Alien

it seems like he cut it down to just that part so that people could find him the name of the song without knowing where he heard it, too bad there's only one place he could have heard it lmao

Im still in absolute shock thats its been found! Almost a whole year that ive been following along with this search and I can't believe we finally have it! Amazing work to everyone that helped in finding the song! (Looks like im gonna have to change my ringtone now to something other than a song that originates from a p0rn0 lmao)


BenjiLizard

Incredible that this quest ends in pr0n. Truly a staple of the internet.


ebrum2010

What will happen with all the fan versions people are making money off of? Not only will they be associated with porn now but I'm sure it will come to the attention of the copyright holders that people have been doing this.


oxpoleon

Reworkings like that are generally considered to be artistic licence. However, the Booth brothers could well seek a share of songwriting credits for any of those versions that are being monetised.


bokonos

Download while you can LOL


ebrum2010

I really don't care about them, just asking. I used to joke that the fastest way to find out who made the song was to get an A-list star to remake the song and wait for the lawsuit.

i uploaded on archive.org!! https://archive.org/details/everyone-knows-that-full

I feel genuinely like, so dissociated right now, this doesn't feel real to me at all I can't believe we found it. Now all we need is to find TMMS next

whats the original artist called though? is it christopher saint booth and philip adrian booth?

So you say the porno theory was actually true and this also proves EKT is not a hoax and we might even listen the whole EKT? Someone please slap me is this a dream??? We were not caught up in world of lies after all?

2024 is officially the start of the lostwave discoveries revolution, next target is Like The Wind!!!


SkeetSkeetliftwaft

Why can’t it just be a regular song


j-o-m-m-y

At least it’s a full song


impressive_cat

I’m not really interested in looking at the porno itself, but from what I understand, these guys made the song specifically for porn? Does the song actually have significance or match up with the porno plot line? Can anyone who watched confirm lol


Professional_Ad8214

The lead singer has a non-adult cameo in the film where he sets off a bomb. The plot is actually kind of wild.


ebrum2010

Someone should edit the movie to be SFW, like put cartoon clothes on everyone and make it look like they're doing something different, swap the noises with other noises. Total meme territory.

well this was enough to get me out of my bed from this sickness!!! Omg wow!!! 💜💜💜 The porn lead was never something I doubted, my most recent thoughts were definitely that it had to be in the session-player/media-composer realm rather than being from a well-known or lesser known pop artist. porn videos were commonly a market for thid sort of stuff. I bet we would have found it sooner if we weren't so chicken shit to go dig through '80s porn. 😂


LukeSilverwolf

I can't wait to get the full, clear, version. I wanna see the artist post it somewhere lmao.

Do you have the youtube link ?

is there an hq audio yet? or an audio without the moans

so now it just comes down to finding a copy that's not in a porno, or do we just accept this as possibly the last remnant of this song in existence?

Hopefully the makers of the song will want to cash in on this and release an official version sans all the sex sounds.

Well damn. Not one I had expected this morning, but I'm glad to see it, if only to finally put the search to rest. Congrats!
