One of the oldest mysteries on the internet has been solved. For almost two decades a moody song recorded off the radio in Germany has bedeviled online sleuths. Dubbed “The Most Mysterious Song On the Internet” by those who sought to find it, the song has finally been discovered.
It’s been an incredible year for solving long-running internet mysteries. In May, investigators tracked down “The Backrooms” and in September investigators identified “Celebrity Number Six.” Now it seems that The Mysterious Song has been discovered. It’s called “Subways Of the Mind” by the band FEX.
The story of The Most Mysterious Song On the Internet begins in the 1980s. Sometime around 1984, people in Germany recorded a song off of a radio station. Though unconfirmed, it’s generally accepted that NDR1 was the radio station and the program was Musik Für Junge Leute or “Music for Young People.”
