'''Stranger in the Corner''' is an unidentified synth-pop song sourced from WatZatSong user NY80sTapes' collection of short radio snippets recorded in the early 1980s.

== Background ==
On June 10, 2023, user Kenny Cathead (NY80sTapes) first uploaded the song to YouTube as part of a compilation of short snippets of various songs recorded from the radio.<ref>https://youtu.be/NgbmVNyjtdw?t=781</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/NgbmVNyjtdw?t=1008</ref> 

On July 12, 2023, WatZatSong user NY80sTapes posted the song as a 10-second snippet with no additional information.<ref>https://www.watzatsong.com/en/name-that-tune/777048.html</ref> This song was most likely recorded from a New York or New Jersey radio station between 1980 and 1986,<ref>https://www.watzatsong.com/en/profile/ny80stapes</ref> and based on the OP's other found songs, it may have originally released between 1977 and 1985.<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JpLQGpi4zts5y1yBp5N4tdVkML1OIVHwn13YVqwj5Bg/edit?gid=1371961864#gid=1371961864</ref>

On August 16, 2023, WatZatSong user MistaEgg pointed out that another snippet posted by NY80sTapes, labelled "Bass & Synth, 1983", sounds very similar to the song, and it is widely assumed that this snippet is part of the song or by the same band.<ref>https://www.watzatsong.com/en/name-that-tune/775100.html</ref>
