I have my own mystery song, but a much more recent one, one of the songs that was playing at Google I/O. The soundtrack for the weekend was largely popular stuff from groups like CHVRCHES, but this one I could never identify using every technique I could think of. I put a minute-long clip of it on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48gK7Krx0TQ if anyone here happens to be able to figure out its origin these d…

i found a reference to phantogram playing at i/o 2018 and the voice sounds right, but can't find that specific song

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's hilarious because I watched a playthrough recently and wondered if copyright is ever enforced in stuff like this when I heard that, without knowing what the song was. Now I know that it's essentially (inadvertently) public domain.

As I saw in a youtube comment: this is the only song you WANT to get copyright-struck for. If your video gets taken down for copying the song, you'll be the hero who solved the mystery of which song it is.

I play popular songs on my keyboard on youtube. I've never gotten a strike, but I have had some ContentID hits. I always enjoy that because it means I got pretty close.

There is one song that I encountered on youtube a decade or so ago, that I haven't been able to find since. It may have been deleted by the user, or something else altogether but I sometimes just think back and wish I had my penchant for archival back then. Doesn't help that the I recall the title being so vague that a search would yield like 300m results.
