Alright, you’re never going to believe this one. Coming up on today’s episode, we’ve got a song that has no name, no artist, and no date as to when it was recorded. Most believe it was composed in the early to mid80s. But really, everything about this song has been lost to history… Not even Google can figure this one out. And forget Shazam and ChatGPT. The only evidence we have that this song ever existed is an obscure cassette recording off the radio. First uploaded to the Internet in 2004, for the past 20 years, a grassroots community has been trying to identify this track. In more recent years this song has gone viral across the Internet… with users on Reddit, YouTube, and Discord piecing together clues about its origins… and debunking some imposter bands in the process. Today we’re pitching in and doing our part to get this crazy story out there… It’s the tale of the track that many are calling “The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet”… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

So usually as we kick things, I like to give you a headsup about the band and the song that we’re covering for the episode.

In addition to calling it The Most Mysterious Song, some have named it ‘Like the Wind,’ ‘Blind the Wind,’ ‘Check It In Check It Out,’ and a few other titles… each of these is taken from the song’s perceived lyrics. I’ll keep playing it throughout the episode so that you can work on unraveling the mystery as we go. So the story of ‘The Mysterious Song’ starts, not with an upandcoming indie band, at least not for us… but rather with a teen music aficionado who goes by the name of Darius S. Darius reportedly hails from the town of Wilhelmshaven Northern Germany.] As was standard practice for every 80s kid, Darius would record his favorite songs from the radio onto mixtape cassettes. Sometime in the early to mid80s, Darius recorded this song in its entirety onto one of the tapes in his
