~20 years ago back in high school there was a very legal media/software server that was being ran out of the Computer Stuff class. on this server there was a music video of a techno/EDM song being played at a rave. the song had this hook that has since been a spectre that periodically popped into my brain every once in a while.
for years, every time this stupid hook materialized into my head again, i would use shazam or whatever else options were available at the time to find the song, and i could never get results.
tonight i was on the google app doing very critical research on the difference between rabbits and hares. below the first few results there was a featured feature of google's song ID whatever bullshit. i decided i'd give it another go.
i hummed the hook of this song, expecting the same "no results" result that i had always gotten.
but it actually populated a list of songs, and near the bottom there was a result that was a 4% match. the thumbnail was a big crowd, like i remembered, and the artist name was very EDM. i clicked on it.
Cygnus X - Superstring (Rank 1 Remix)
i found it. it's real. that hook is exactly what i remember it being. i was so convinced i would be some old fuck dying in bed with dementia rambling about this song while everybody in the room would be helplessly confused. (this is assuming i don't die in the water wars)
i take everything back, AI is good now*
