@@smittzero8463 Oh my god, that's *bound* to have some glorious stories. I could def imagine someone accidentally losing something because they sneezed. Imagine that.
The Kurt Cobain thing was just a joke Billy West made that got spun way out of proportion. The creators have stated they have no recollection of a theme song from Kurt.
I always saw it as a way for Billy to make fun of John Ks blind arrogance; that he was so self absorbed, he'd dismiss a song from someone who would turn out to be extremely prolific, like no way any song from some unknown kid would be good enough for my show. Its just another Billy vs John teardown
weezer’s back catalog is crazy, there are 3200 demos on rivers’ website but there are STILL likely thousands of demos and unreleased songs we haven’t heard. the full band recording of superfriend is also a really interesting lost weezer song
Imagining waking up on a Sunday to the sound of your president in the midst of a 4 hour discussion about the bill he's signing in live while in a field of cows, sounds hilarious and super stressful at the same time.
There's one I've been trying to find for years called "Nightclub" I discovered way back in the early 2000s on some Napster type site. It said it was by the band Deadsy but I found out it's actually by a band called Vanity Beach. It's apparently on the Australian release of their album "Nights of the New" but I've never found a digital or physical copy of it. I don't think anyone else has been looking for it though.
Wow you made my day with that KMD sample. I used to work at Utopia, a head / music shop in Long Island and we would talk about this sample ALOT. We thought it was an piece of media that would be accompanied with a book of some sort. Well it’s been 20 years and it feels good to be right hahah 👍🏼
Lost Music is fascinating because of how the word "music" can be defined. Is it an unfinished song that never got released to the public, and only the writers/band members/performers know it for sure, or can it simply be a lost recording? Can it be lost completely if it only exists in the mind of said performers?
"Track" doesn't mean "song" though. Odds are very, very good all he means is they had some individual recording tracks that never got turned into songs.
Another song that's lost is The Best Man Lies by The Friendly Indians, a band created by Steve Franks, who's also the guy who created the hit TV show, Psych! Only part of the song was used as the theme song for the show, even the "extended" version is missing a couple verses and a guitar solo. The band has played the song as a whole at various conventions, but the original, full studio recording is still unfound (along with a couple songs off of the EP it debuted on titled "Tiny Badness").
Not to be that guy, but Pink Floyd's drummer was named Nick Mason, not Alan Mason - you might've been thinking of Alan's Psychadelic Breakfast when you called him that at 10:32?
Some lost media that I've always thought about but never really seen much content on is the Virtual World Wide Web stuff from the 90s where you would navigate 3D representations of websites and do other fun stuff. I've tried researching a lot of what I saw during that time but there is so little out there about it beyond the basic premise.
"you heard that right: a world leader had his own TV show" we live in a post-Trump presidency era, i don't think that's necessarily shocking anymore lol
Floyd's drummer was NICK Mason. Also, I would argue that Zappa and the Mothers were using "found instruments" for years by the time Floyd had the idea :)
Speaking of lost samples. the They Might Be Giants song "They Might Be Giants" from their most popular album, "Flood" contains the sample "Hang on Tighter" among others that, according to the band, are from an old motivational speech tape they found at a thrift store in the mid 80s. The name of this tape has never been found
OMG I HAVE THIS JAMES FERRARO RECORD AND CD YOU TALKED ABOUT! Human Story 3 also came with an 80s German noise music record, or at least mine did. The record has some crazy history, not everyone got their copy supposedly. I also got the clear variant 😁

Electronic group Boards of Canada sampled Sesame Street in a dozen different songs, but finding the source is easy, nearly all of these samples come from the same 1990 episode!
There are definitely lost or unreleased DEVO songs from their early days, i.e. when they first appeared onstage as Sextet Devo in Kent in 1973. Two short clips of that show are available in very degraded quality. The setlist is known however. A more recent example was "Whip It Again", a demo from their Something For Everybody album. The band ended up re-writing the lyrics as "Sumthin'". Only a few people have heard it, at a fan convention while the band was still working on the album.
Of all places I expected to hear mention of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, I did not expect it to be from All Things Lost. Let It Sway is a phenomenal album that I definitely recommend people check out of theirs.
this isn't an issue but Joy Division never made it to the 1980s Ian Curtis died in May 1980. I would assume you meant New Order or Depeche mode but other than that great video
@@FM-cp6kc unfortunately JD dropped off fast and at the time wasn't as big as they became. New order which is the surviving members already by that time were making hits.
@@AlternativeMindz Like I said that just might be that Joy Division was still popular in the Philippines (note: I'm from there) around that time. Different countries have different crazes.

Just wanted to say that I saw James Ferraro live in a disused coal mine cave. He projected vore and gore h3ntai and half the people left a few songs into the set.
I remember hearing about TAS 1000 from some videos relating to the development of Penguin Chat / Club Penguin. They seem super interesting and I'd love to see that documentary about them if it ever surfaces.
Great work! You always manage to find lost media content I haven't heard of yet! Makes me wonder if it were possible to make a list of lost media that was almost found but became lost again.
AC/DC recorded the original demo of the song "I'm A Rebel" in the 70's. It's an odd story, because it's not a song they wrote. Alex Young, the brother of guitarists Angus & Malcolm, brought the song to them. In the demo, he's even singing the vocals. The band didn't keep it (they didn't like the idea of ghostwriters), but it was later pitched to Accept, who... accepted.
I wonder if the sample spotters could help find the sample from the song Savage by 21 Lil Harold. Nobody knows where the sample came from and when the producer of the song Cubeatz was asked about it he said he wouldn’t say what it was
Pink Floyd has a whole page on Wikipedia of unreleased songs and albums. You could do a whole video on them alone. The two songs that come to mind most are "Have You Got It Yet?!" and "Bitter Love".
@@jedshaffer5956 The Wall has alot of stuff that was cut like the missing verse for The Show must go on, the minute that was cut from comfortably Numb, The full 7 minute Run like hell etc

This was a really interesting video, although I think you should have included Carnival Of Light by the Beatles (if you haven't already covered it in a previous video). It is one of the most famous lost songs that we know of, if not the most famous simply because of how big the Beatles were. It was only ever played twice at the Roundhouse in London for the Million Volt Light and Sound Rave event in 1967, and has rarely been heard since. Paul McCartney confirmed in 2008 and 2016 that he still has the tape, but hasn't been able to release it. It was almost released in one of the Beatles Anthology albums released in 1996, but George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Yoko Ono didn't want it on the album because it was never intended to be a song under the Beatles name, even though it was made by them.
Alright! I need some help from lost media nerds! In between the release of Toxicity and Steal This Album!, Serj Tankian form System of a Down formed the project Serart, with the help of fellow Armenian musician Arto Tuncboyaciyan. Together they released one album, and a short EP of remixes. Shortly AFTER the release of these record, Serj announced that there was going to be a remix contest for the album's final track "I Don't Want To Go Back Empty Handed". I remember there was a site you could download the song's sample stems from, but they were in a format I did not recognize. At the time (2003?) I was really only familiar with .mp3, .wav, .wma and like maybe a few others, but I remember this being a format that not only did I not recognize, but I couldn't make play at all. I deleted it out of frustration, thinking it would be fine to just hear whoever the winners of the remix contest happened to be. I lost track of it entirely, naturally, and did not think to ever check again until kind of recently. The Wayback Machine helped me find the band's old website, which has been LONG abandoned. Turns out, there were three winners of the contest, and their tracks are as follows. First Place: Serart in Space by DJ Tenebrous Second Place: Serart (Capoeira mix) by Rod Oritz Third Place: I Don’t Want To Go Back There (Dance Hall Remix) by Fino Entertainment Sadly, I cannot find anywhere on the internet where it's possible to hear these tracks today. If there's anyone out there who has these old tracks stashed away, or knows where they can be found today, hit me up!
O hi there I know a case of a lost song, its called Interface and its Made with the music software vocaloid, the song was published in Nico Nico in 2011 by the producer Masa Works Desing, that was called Ell at the time. For unknown reasons Masa erase all his songs with the name Ell at november/december of 2011, making at least 4 songs lost, one of them called Ijou Aikyou was uploaded to youtube in 2019. But the other 3 songs are complety lost, well, almost. The only song that we have something is the song Interface, we only have 10 seconds of song taked from a top of music of the year, thanks to that top we have at least 10 seconds of the song. The other Two songs, Wakare Wa Iwazu Icchimae and Medical Wedding are complety lost to. Also, Masa said that even he doesn't have the complete songs, so the only hope is that some asiatic user downladed em and wait that usb memory survived 10 years
_FARSIDEVIRTUAL_ wasn't the 'first vaporwave album', not by a long shot. Daniel Lobatin's _Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1,_ for one, predates it by more than a year, and Ramona 'Vektroid' Xavier had been creating music well before _that_ which she had, at the time, described as 'DOSWave', now recognised as an early form of vaporwave, or at least as a very close antecedent thereof (Vektroid, for those who don't know, would eventually create, under the pseudonym Macintosh Plus, what is probably the most well-known vaporwave album of them all: 2011's _Floral Shoppe,_ which released about six weeks after Ferraro's album). Of course, if you _really_ want to get down to the nitty-gritty, important stylistic forerunners of the genre can, in retrospect, be traced back at least as far as the early 1990s, and arguably even before that.
i get what u mean with the fact that music like vaporwave goes back to the 90s but arguably half of vaporwave is the visual aspect of it and OPN was really the first person to introduce the visual aspect of what we know as vaporwave today. also RIP DJ Screw vaporwave prolly wouldn't of been a thing without him
U2 has a TON of lost songs, since the band's start in 1976 they began doing covers but mostly original songs, throughout 1976-1979 they had alot of songs that have 0 Recordings although we do have their names, for example a 30 second snippet of 'Concentration Cramp' was found on a cassette tape from 1979 back in 2019.
Also alot of live preformances haven't survived either, although we do have rare bootlegs that have some live songs. Some songs that weren't released seen the light of day with deluxe edition albums being released.
Luca Turilli's Rhapsody had a song that was going to be released on the debut album Ascending Into Infinity, but for some reason was swapped out very late on for a cover of Alessandro Safina's "Luna". It was called Fantasia Gotica and I'd love to know what happened to it. It was even supposed to be a B-side to one of the singles from the album but that never seemed to happen either!
I'm a big Queen fan, they have what maybe is a "lost song" though I wouldn't really call it "bizarre." There was an original song of theirs, "Hangman," that they played in concert in the 70s, but they never released a studio version. There was one collector who claimed to have a copy of a studio version, but he never shared it with anybody
An interesting piece of lost media is the music video for a song by the RnB group Blaqùe, from the early 00s, there's a song called Can't Get It Back, and a music video was filmed. It was finished but it was never released. There's a few seconds clip of the video that leaked more than 10 years ago but it never fully leaked Similar thing happened to Mariah Carey. She has a song called"The one" which was supposed to be one of her album's "charmbracelet" singles, but ended up not being one. A music video was filmed, there's a behind the scenes video on UA-cam, but the full video Is nowhere to be found. Some say the video was never finished and probably they used some pieces and pasted them in the "Boy (I need u) Music video, which was a single from that album. I really love early 00s RnB music, those dark songs are so interesting, there's so much stuff about it..
I didn't realize that James Ferraro had missing songs. My brother use to be friends with the guy at the time. It was at the time my brother was involved with the vaporwave community when being involved with the guy, Todd Ledford, from OESB (my brother did a lot of social media for him). I think at one point he had a lot of the more rare albums of James Ferraro and actually a copy of the original Floral Shoppe vinyl (he ended up selling them all after a falling out with Todd and giving up on some documentary he was going to do on the whole Floral Shoppe drama).
If you do a part 2 of this video, please include My Chemical Romance’s missing Nine Volt Heart. The existence is still unknown until today but it was recorded somewhere in 2001 or 2002
If we’re talking weird lost songs, I know Alan Menken wrote four or five songs for a Roger Rabbit sequel that never happened. And only one has been found so far, being featured in the debut album of a Broadway actress alongside some other tracks from the Disney vault. So… they’re in the vault somewhere!
something kind of interesting is the millenium fever omnibus cd by sold out. for the most part the band is really only known for its vocalist, hideo suwa, who provided vocals for lots of (mainly) pop’n music songs (just bemani songs overall) hideo is still a somewhat active vocalist nonetheless but sold out disbanded in 2002 so that’s that
Hey Mike.This isn't a lost song, but more of a lost app. There was an app back in 2010 by Jello. It was called 'Jello Jiggle It". You were able to play one of your songs into the app, and a CGI Jello cube would dance to it. I looked through the Wayback Machine, tried to search youtube, and even checked on multiple sites. I could not find any app builds, nor any other footage of it in use besides their little commercial on youtube. Do you happen to have any interest in this?
In regard to the Pink Floyd entry, I wanted to mention some involving Barrett (both in and out of Floyd): "Have You Got it Yet" is the last Barrett song the band tried to record (I think it's the last, at least). While it never got an official release, one can wonder if the rehearsals (where Syd kept changing the music, only keeping the line "Have you got it yet?" each time) may have been recorded. Or maybe it's never been recorded and can only survive in anecdotes from the surviving band members. Syd released two solo albums post-Floyd. However, he did go into the recording studio for a third album, which ultimately only ended with some snippets, like apparently a rhythm guitar track logged as "Chooka Chooka Chug Chug", due to what it sounded like. As far as I know, none of these recordings (as wholly incomplete as they are) have been officially released. But I also wanted to mention something that ultimately wouldn't be covered in one of these videos, due to the obscurity of the person involved, but my uncle, who owns a used book and music store in town and later started a band called the Schoolmarms with a friend, released a cassette at his store when I was little. This cassette, billed as "The Eternal Firecracker" (with or without the "the", maybe "Everlasting" instead of "Eternal"--it's been a long time since I've seen one of the tapes) instead of his own name, had at least one song later recorded by the Schoolmarms ("I Pray to Elvis"), but it's still different than the version on the cassette. Over time, my uncle lost his copy (or copies) of the tape, and the ones the rest of the family had have disappeared for one reason or another. However, this was sold in his store, so it's possible some copies are floating around out there, with music unheard for over a decade or two (I mean, it was released when people would still purchase cassettes, so it's been a while). To me, at least, this is a tragedy, since I remember enjoying the music (one song that particularly stands out to me, whose name I don't remember, has the lyric, "Cindarella/Dressed in yella'/Went upstairs with/Another fella"). I'm sure I'll never hear it again, which is not fun. Oh well, the Schoolmarms music is still online (and the group has every possibility of re-convening), and as far as music featuring members of my family, we also have copies of the record Shasta High School band pressed when my mom was a member (luckily they never recorded us when I was in the SHS band--I was so awful, I would have brought down the quality of the whole thing).
May I reccomend an addition to this list? The NASCAR on ESPN Speedworld starting grid theme is presumably lost. The version from 1998 is on UA-cam, but the 1999-2000 version of the song (which has a slightly different arrangement) hasn't surfaced. I've searched, but have gotten no luck.
As someone with OCD....I can't stand when unanswered questions about whether something exists or not is held up by a living person who just doesn't give a shit enough to confirm or deny things.
tbh a lot of the Kurt Theme Song was just a Myth as some Nick Staff at the time said he never came to Nick nor did any of them go to Kurt and some people must've misheard hearing that Kurt Cobain was gonna do a theme for Nick
Just clarifying something about James Ferraro's stuff: SPEED (which was a B-Side for Last American Hero in 2008) wasn't released by Ferraro, it was released by his record label manager during that time, Todd Ledford of Olde English Spelling Bee, who also claimed he had a copy of Rehysteria. However, soon after that, it became common knowledge that Todd was a con artist, and he seemingly vanished completely after this. Ferraro hasn't talked at all about his lost stuff from back then, and barely talks about his pre-FSV stuff (although he issued some remasters last year)
I really wanna hear the lost track "Human Satellite" that was cut from the first Red Hot Chili Peppers album. The late Jack Sherman had a copy and producer Andy Gill thought it had commercial potential, yet beyond that, the band seems to have forgotten. They seem pretty reluctant to embrace being a legacy band even though they have nearly been around for 40 years. There are a fair few unreleased tracks in their archive, but that one sticks out because there was such a dearth of material back then, I'm surprised they didn't include it.
There are a lot of Genma Wars manga which ran for months or even years until they got cancelled due to large amounts of bad executive meddling. As a result, the continuity reboot, Rebirth, is the only one which is complete.
There's been many Sprout videos popping up here. Hopefully someone can find the Musical footage. Never saw that as a kid, but I still loved watching Sprout when I was little.
10:30 BTW you know the drummer of Pink Floyd is Nick Mason not Alan Mason right? Think you got confused with Pink Floyd producer of the time Alan Parsons.

it probably doesn’t exist
Great, that’s one more lost media subject to add to more endless sleepless nights……lost songs!
Your videos are amazing, and hugely entertaining as always, keep up the great work, your content is immensely beneficial to us all, especially those of us who want to learn, as much about the world around us as possible, no matter how obscure that information may be!
Thank you for your kind words! They mean a lot, sincerely.
Just wanted to say that I saw James Ferraro live in a disused coal mine cave. He projected vore and gore h3ntai and half the people left a few songs into the set.
the GOAT
I'm sorry what
he WHAT
I remember hearing about TAS 1000 from some videos relating to the development of Penguin Chat / Club Penguin. They seem super interesting and I'd love to see that documentary about them if it ever surfaces.
Great work! You always manage to find lost media content I haven't heard of yet! Makes me wonder if it were possible to make a list of lost media that was almost found but became lost again.
Thanks so much!
Honestly you're not the first to ask for that topic. I'll keep an eye out!
AC/DC recorded the original demo of the song "I'm A Rebel" in the 70's. It's an odd story, because it's not a song they wrote. Alex Young, the brother of guitarists Angus & Malcolm, brought the song to them. In the demo, he's even singing the vocals. The band didn't keep it (they didn't like the idea of ghostwriters), but it was later pitched to Accept, who... accepted.
He's got..... Balls
I wonder if the sample spotters could help find the sample from the song Savage by 21 Lil Harold. Nobody knows where the sample came from and when the producer of the song Cubeatz was asked about it he said he wouldn’t say what it was
I'm searching for a ton of lost music right now, and all the ridiculous ways that equally ridiculous lost tracks have been found give me hope. :')
0:29 I was expecting you to talk about the lost Mac Tonight radio ad after you showed him.
Pink Floyd has a whole page on Wikipedia of unreleased songs and albums. You could do a whole video on them alone. The two songs that come to mind most are "Have You Got It Yet?!" and "Bitter Love".
And the committee ep
@@ajaxmaxbitch And official studio recordings of missing songs from The Wall, like "What Shall We Do Now?".
@@jedshaffer5956 The Wall has alot of stuff that was cut like the missing verse for The Show must go on, the minute that was cut from comfortably Numb, The full 7 minute Run like hell etc
@@ajaxmaxbitch I've always wanted a director's cut of that album. Restore the missing stuff, and restore the original running order, which had "Hey You" after "Comfortably Numb".
@@jedshaffer5956 same but I don't think it ever happen sadly
This was a really interesting video, although I think you should have included Carnival Of Light by the Beatles (if you haven't already covered it in a previous video). It is one of the most famous lost songs that we know of, if not the most famous simply because of how big the Beatles were. It was only ever played twice at the Roundhouse in London for the Million Volt Light and Sound Rave event in 1967, and has rarely been heard since. Paul McCartney confirmed in 2008 and 2016 that he still has the tape, but hasn't been able to release it. It was almost released in one of the Beatles Anthology albums released in 1996, but George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Yoko Ono didn't want it on the album because it was never intended to be a song under the Beatles name, even though it was made by them.
The original Irish national anthem played in cork in its failed 1916 Easter rising
Alright! I need some help from lost media nerds!
In between the release of Toxicity and Steal This Album!, Serj Tankian form System of a Down formed the project Serart, with the help of fellow Armenian musician Arto Tuncboyaciyan. Together they released one album, and a short EP of remixes. Shortly AFTER the release of these record, Serj announced that there was going to be a remix contest for the album's final track "I Don't Want To Go Back Empty Handed". I remember there was a site you could download the song's sample stems from, but they were in a format I did not recognize. At the time (2003?) I was really only familiar with .mp3, .wav, .wma and like maybe a few others, but I remember this being a format that not only did I not recognize, but I couldn't make play at all. I deleted it out of frustration, thinking it would be fine to just hear whoever the winners of the remix contest happened to be.
I lost track of it entirely, naturally, and did not think to ever check again until kind of recently.
The Wayback Machine helped me find the band's old website, which has been LONG abandoned.
Turns out, there were three winners of the contest, and their tracks are as follows.
First Place: Serart in Space by DJ Tenebrous
Second Place: Serart (Capoeira mix) by Rod Oritz
Third Place: I Don’t Want To Go Back There (Dance Hall Remix) by Fino Entertainment
Sadly, I cannot find anywhere on the internet where it's possible to hear these tracks today. If there's anyone out there who has these old tracks stashed away, or knows where they can be found today, hit me up!
O hi there
I know a case of a lost song, its called Interface and its Made with the music software vocaloid, the song was published in Nico Nico in 2011 by the producer Masa Works Desing, that was called Ell at the time.
For unknown reasons Masa erase all his songs with the name Ell at november/december of 2011, making at least 4 songs lost, one of them called Ijou Aikyou was uploaded to youtube in 2019.
But the other 3 songs are complety lost, well, almost.
The only song that we have something is the song Interface, we only have 10 seconds of song taked from a top of music of the year, thanks to that top we have at least 10 seconds of the song.
The other Two songs, Wakare Wa Iwazu Icchimae and Medical Wedding are complety lost to.
Also, Masa said that even he doesn't have the complete songs, so the only hope is that some asiatic user downladed em and wait that usb memory survived 10 years
Woohoo!! Been waiting for a sequel
Love Ur content man keep it coming 👍
Oh hi there! 👋
Thanks for watching!
The Residents have all sorts of unreleased material, old demos, unfinished film footage, etc. In true spirit of the Theory of Obscurity.
_FARSIDEVIRTUAL_ wasn't the 'first vaporwave album', not by a long shot. Daniel Lobatin's _Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1,_ for one, predates it by more than a year, and Ramona 'Vektroid' Xavier had been creating music well before _that_ which she had, at the time, described as 'DOSWave', now recognised as an early form of vaporwave, or at least as a very close antecedent thereof (Vektroid, for those who don't know, would eventually create, under the pseudonym Macintosh Plus, what is probably the most well-known vaporwave album of them all: 2011's _Floral Shoppe,_ which released about six weeks after Ferraro's album). Of course, if you _really_ want to get down to the nitty-gritty, important stylistic forerunners of the genre can, in retrospect, be traced back at least as far as the early 1990s, and arguably even before that.
i get what u mean with the fact that music like vaporwave goes back to the 90s but arguably half of vaporwave is the visual aspect of it and OPN was really the first person to introduce the visual aspect of what we know as vaporwave today. also RIP DJ Screw vaporwave prolly wouldn't of been a thing without him
@@twotwosixx That's fair. At any rate, I suppose the concept of distinct musical genres with hard-and-fast 'birthdays' is an amorphous one, at best.
U2 has a TON of lost songs, since the band's start in 1976 they began doing covers but mostly original songs, throughout 1976-1979 they had alot of songs that have 0 Recordings although we do have their names, for example a 30 second snippet of 'Concentration Cramp' was found on a cassette tape from 1979 back in 2019.
Also alot of live preformances haven't survived either, although we do have rare bootlegs that have some live songs. Some songs that weren't released seen the light of day with deluxe edition albums being released.
As soon as you mentioned unknown bert and Ernie clips I was like "just ask Muppet fans they'll know exactly what it is" lol
please upload more often i love ur content.
Thank you for watching! 😊
I see MF DOOM, I upvote.
Luca Turilli's Rhapsody had a song that was going to be released on the debut album Ascending Into Infinity, but for some reason was swapped out very late on for a cover of Alessandro Safina's "Luna". It was called Fantasia Gotica and I'd love to know what happened to it. It was even supposed to be a B-side to one of the singles from the album but that never seemed to happen either!
I'm a big Queen fan, they have what maybe is a "lost song" though I wouldn't really call it "bizarre." There was an original song of theirs, "Hangman," that they played in concert in the 70s, but they never released a studio version. There was one collector who claimed to have a copy of a studio version, but he never shared it with anybody
An interesting piece of lost media is the music video for a song by the RnB group Blaqùe, from the early 00s, there's a song called Can't Get It Back, and a music video was filmed. It was finished but it was never released. There's a few seconds clip of the video that leaked more than 10 years ago but it never fully leaked
Similar thing happened to Mariah Carey. She has a song called"The one" which was supposed to be one of her album's "charmbracelet" singles, but ended up not being one. A music video was filmed, there's a behind the scenes video on UA-cam, but the full video Is nowhere to be found. Some say the video was never finished and probably they used some pieces and pasted them in the "Boy (I need u) Music video, which was a single from that album. I really love early 00s RnB music, those dark songs are so interesting, there's so much stuff about it..
I didn't realize that James Ferraro had missing songs. My brother use to be friends with the guy at the time. It was at the time my brother was involved with the vaporwave community when being involved with the guy, Todd Ledford, from OESB (my brother did a lot of social media for him). I think at one point he had a lot of the more rare albums of James Ferraro and actually a copy of the original Floral Shoppe vinyl (he ended up selling them all after a falling out with Todd and giving up on some documentary he was going to do on the whole Floral Shoppe drama).
If you do a part 2 of this video, please include My Chemical Romance’s missing Nine Volt Heart. The existence is still unknown until today but it was recorded somewhere in 2001 or 2002
omg mcr is my favorite band and i’ve never heard of this
I think you should do a video on lost/found PSAs!
what a jumpscare for a start
Yeah
Shout out to telling the Humrush / Sesame Street story All Things Lost. Pretty spot on!
If we’re talking weird lost songs, I know Alan Menken wrote four or five songs for a Roger Rabbit sequel that never happened. And only one has been found so far, being featured in the debut album of a Broadway actress alongside some other tracks from the Disney vault. So… they’re in the vault somewhere!
This particular video just doesn't load!
Why does Ricky Gervais look like David Bowie
8:24 That band is so crazy that I wouldn't doubt that they made that documentary.
something kind of interesting is the millenium fever omnibus cd by sold out. for the most part the band is really only known for its vocalist, hideo suwa, who provided vocals for lots of (mainly) pop’n music songs (just bemani songs overall)
hideo is still a somewhat active vocalist nonetheless but sold out disbanded in 2002 so that’s that
I would like to see you cover Lost Video Game Prototypes. Its an interesting topic to cover
Hey Mike.This isn't a lost song, but more of a lost app. There was an app back in 2010 by Jello. It was called 'Jello Jiggle It". You were able to play one of your songs into the app, and a CGI Jello cube would dance to it. I looked through the Wayback Machine, tried to search youtube, and even checked on multiple sites. I could not find any app builds, nor any other footage of it in use besides their little commercial on youtube. Do you happen to have any interest in this?
Im surprised The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet wasnt covered here, you should cover it if you do a follow up or a similar video :)
It's on my list to be a solo video! I'm trying to hold out until it's found but... ya know...
More lost music please and thank you.
As a self proclaimed “music man” I didn’t know about these. Very interesting.
Nice Btw do a video about pink morning cartoon
New vid let’s gooooo
In regard to the Pink Floyd entry, I wanted to mention some involving Barrett (both in and out of Floyd):
"Have You Got it Yet" is the last Barrett song the band tried to record (I think it's the last, at least). While it never got an official release, one can wonder if the rehearsals (where Syd kept changing the music, only keeping the line "Have you got it yet?" each time) may have been recorded. Or maybe it's never been recorded and can only survive in anecdotes from the surviving band members.
Syd released two solo albums post-Floyd. However, he did go into the recording studio for a third album, which ultimately only ended with some snippets, like apparently a rhythm guitar track logged as "Chooka Chooka Chug Chug", due to what it sounded like. As far as I know, none of these recordings (as wholly incomplete as they are) have been officially released.
But I also wanted to mention something that ultimately wouldn't be covered in one of these videos, due to the obscurity of the person involved, but my uncle, who owns a used book and music store in town and later started a band called the Schoolmarms with a friend, released a cassette at his store when I was little. This cassette, billed as "The Eternal Firecracker" (with or without the "the", maybe "Everlasting" instead of "Eternal"--it's been a long time since I've seen one of the tapes) instead of his own name, had at least one song later recorded by the Schoolmarms ("I Pray to Elvis"), but it's still different than the version on the cassette. Over time, my uncle lost his copy (or copies) of the tape, and the ones the rest of the family had have disappeared for one reason or another. However, this was sold in his store, so it's possible some copies are floating around out there, with music unheard for over a decade or two (I mean, it was released when people would still purchase cassettes, so it's been a while). To me, at least, this is a tragedy, since I remember enjoying the music (one song that particularly stands out to me, whose name I don't remember, has the lyric, "Cindarella/Dressed in yella'/Went upstairs with/Another fella"). I'm sure I'll never hear it again, which is not fun. Oh well, the Schoolmarms music is still online (and the group has every possibility of re-convening), and as far as music featuring members of my family, we also have copies of the record Shasta High School band pressed when my mom was a member (luckily they never recorded us when I was in the SHS band--I was so awful, I would have brought down the quality of the whole thing).
May I reccomend an addition to this list? The NASCAR on ESPN Speedworld starting grid theme is presumably lost. The version from 1998 is on UA-cam, but the 1999-2000 version of the song (which has a slightly different arrangement) hasn't surfaced. I've searched, but have gotten no luck.
As someone with OCD....I can't stand when unanswered questions about whether something exists or not is held up by a living person who just doesn't give a shit enough to confirm or deny things.
Another thing about Sprout's PSMOAS, due to it being made in 2008, A lost Widescreen version is possible (but with no evidence)
19:50 I have extremely faint memory of the preschool musicals, I was 3-4 at the time though, so it’s hard to recall all the details.
(Or much of them)
tbh a lot of the Kurt Theme Song was just a Myth as some Nick Staff at the time said he never came to Nick nor did any of them go to Kurt and some people must've misheard hearing that Kurt Cobain was gonna do a theme for Nick
Just clarifying something about James Ferraro's stuff: SPEED (which was a B-Side for Last American Hero in 2008) wasn't released by Ferraro, it was released by his record label manager during that time, Todd Ledford of Olde English Spelling Bee, who also claimed he had a copy of Rehysteria. However, soon after that, it became common knowledge that Todd was a con artist, and he seemingly vanished completely after this.
Ferraro hasn't talked at all about his lost stuff from back then, and barely talks about his pre-FSV stuff (although he issued some remasters last year)
Shout out to all my fellow samples spotters
I really wanna hear the lost track "Human Satellite" that was cut from the first Red Hot Chili Peppers album. The late Jack Sherman had a copy and producer Andy Gill thought it had commercial potential, yet beyond that, the band seems to have forgotten. They seem pretty reluctant to embrace being a legacy band even though they have nearly been around for 40 years. There are a fair few unreleased tracks in their archive, but that one sticks out because there was such a dearth of material back then, I'm surprised they didn't include it.
Hey All Things Lost, you should do a video on Lost Lost Media Wiki Pages!
A video on Lupin III lost media
You should do Top Lost/Canceled Comic Books or Manga
There are a lot of Genma Wars manga which ran for months or even years until they got cancelled due to large amounts of bad executive meddling.
As a result, the continuity reboot, Rebirth, is the only one which is complete.
There's been many Sprout videos popping up here. Hopefully someone can find the Musical footage. Never saw that as a kid, but I still loved watching Sprout when I was little.
10:30 BTW you know the drummer of Pink Floyd is Nick Mason not Alan Mason right?
Think you got confused with Pink Floyd producer of the time Alan Parsons.
#11: The deleted fart song I made when I was 10.
This needs to be on the lost media wiki front page ASAP
fishmans have plenty of unrelased, unknown tracks - most of the tracks titles we dont have audio from are on fishmans wiki, tracks that wr dont have title are on youtube, you just need to search bootlegs from 1987 to 1991. plenty of unknown tracks there
one lost song that could come up with is from the 2000 movie Sorted, theirs a scene where the character goes clothes shopping and then gets chased after because i think because of the other character not buying the clothes for some reason i couldnt shazam it or find it in the movie's soundtrack
Please do a video on lost creaters producers and animators voice actors and writers from obscure project like golden films and other producers of rare childrens media
You should do the weirdest lost videos from big name UA-camrs.
Seabirds by Pink Floyd is another lost song of theirs. You can hear snippets of it being played on a radio during the film More (1969, dir Barbet Schroeder) but the song was never released. Apparently the tape was thrown out
