this song is ATLEAST 1985 because of the clap sound being from a machine of that year. no way its someone from the 60's sorry.
im asuming that the album was made around where tv's were becoming more popular, and i think the band went downhill after trying to release the defunct album
i dont think you understand. The definite timeline is 1985-1999. nothing else. it was most likely off mtv, and so something from that era on mtv is most likely what were looking for.
So my friend who tried to help the "lost spongebob texas episode end card" search has been on action again this time he tries to help find this song due to him liking it enough to desprately wanting to hear the full version of it what he did is that he show his mom the song, the next writing is what he said was his mom's reaction to the snippet(translated from hungarian to english)
"I showed my mum the everyone knows that song, and she said that she'd heard it somewhere Supposedly after 10 at night, a rare truck movie aired once, a road movie where this song is heard in the truck"
This obviously means nothing If it's a movie score,it should've been finded by now,and i even reminded my friend that she can very EASILY misremember and mix another song with this one. also the writing implies that according to his mom, this movie was aired in hungarian television,which is unless it's some REALLY obscure movie can't also be possible.
Although for me this lead is not fully dismissible,due to song is theoryized to be from forign orgin,which hungary obviously fits in,and again,the og recording is also said to be a tv recording And this came from someone that never heard of the search and the lost media community prior,my friend just came up to her saying "hey mom can you listen to this,does it sound familier to you?",and although my friend is a bit dim-witted when it comes to lost media searches,he is honest about them,and never does it for any benefits other then making sure nothing is lost again
I dunno if this will get any updates from me,but i might ask my mom about this as well,even tho she wasn't a huge movie/tv watcher.
I know this probably won't help but maybe the song was made by the band the Cocteau Twins they were making music in the 80's and 90's and while their style and sound doesn't match the song it couldn't hurt to check to see if it was them the vocal range definitely lines up even if the singer for the Cocteau twins speaks pretty incoherently
I don't know how much it helps but there is a pretty convincing theory that Savage Garden did the song. I don't know how it ended up on TV though. Maybe they did a song for an obscure lost commercial? I saw a video comparing the styles and vocals and it's a match. youtu.be/1OB5LId4MoI?feature=shared
