All-Points Bulletin: Name That Tune (Hello, Korean Bee!)

 

In the past, I've been asked about the identity of some mystery Japanese songs and so when requested as such, I've put up these APBs regarding them. Sometimes we get a happy resolution and sometimes we don't. 

Over the last couple of days, I've received a couple of comments...one by a person named Korean Bee possibly regarding an excerpt of a tune that you can hear above. Supposedly it's tugged at thousands of ears and to be honest, someone had told me about this some months ago as well. Aside from an immediate comment from me, I hadn't done anything about it because it wasn't part of the kayo kyoku world. But now I figure since I'm doing my own contributions to past Western music via the weekly ROY articles, heck why not put out an APB on this one, too?

My thoughts on this excerpt are that it's either from an 80s song that was never released or was never meant to be released. Perhaps, it may even be a contemporary concoction from an enterprising music maker in this century or decade that is emulating the 80s pop sound. Who knows? But I am putting it out there in the public interest.

April 29th 2024: Well, it looks like we've had a happy resolution to this mystery song thanks to an anonymous commenter under my latest article. It's called "Ulterior Motives" (although I don't think there is anything ulterior from what I've heard in the above video) by Chris S. Booth and it was part of a soundtrack for a 1986 porn movie called "Angels of Passion". I know that in all likelihood most of us are adults here but still I'd like to warn folks that the above video has the sound of the two angels expressing their "passion". 

As well, the commenter has given the link to an article on the unraveling of the mystery as written by Tom Breihan. Anyways, congratulations to all who were able to finally solve this APB.
