Dizzy (previously known as "Amigos Míos") is a solved lostwave by British new-wave band The Flying Lizards. It was first posted by Youtube user Redoalfo in 2012.
Background[edit | edit source]
On November 25th, 2012, Youtube user Redoalfo, a collector of mysterious and obscure songs, first uploaded a version of the song to their channel.[1]
The upload received very little attention until 2019 (as shown by the first comment being from that year[2]), so the unknown song remained undiscovered until it was realized that Redoalfo uploaded a snippet of "The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet" in 2011, 8 years before it became popular.[3]
The song grew in popularity around this time and was subsequently featured in C.W. Schultz's video: Top 10 Most Mysterious Songs, released on October 20th 2019.[4] C.W. Schultz suggested in their video that the lyrics of the song may have been sampled from various audio tracks, as they appeared to be random phrases.[5]
The Search[edit | edit source]
On r/TheMysteriousSong, Reddit user boederman suggested that the DJ's dialect throughout the song was from Spain, not South America. The instruments were analyzed, and the song was dated to the mid-1980s. There was speculation that the song was created in the 1990s, when the Spanish club scene was taking off, and may have simply used older instruments.[6]
The Weathermen, a partly-satirical Belgian EBM (Electronic Body Music) band, became an early lead for the artist after Redoalfo mentioned them in the song's description as a possible artist.[7]
Discovery[edit | edit source]
On October 24th, 2019, YouTube user Psyche-HQ suggested that the song could be a sped up version of the song Gyrotastics or Dizzy by the band The Flying Lizards, identifying that the EP that the song was on was called Dizzy Miss Lizzie.[8]
This claim was discussed on the TMMS Discord, and user Bluey Grifter decided to back up Psyche's speculation by getting a copy of the single and proving that the song Dizzy was the B-Side for the 7" vinyl, but the second track on the A-side for the 12".[9]
The full high-quality version of the song was uploaded to YouTube by user K.S. Archives on July 24th, 2020,[10] and was later reuploaded in higher quality by user VCC.[11] The Spanish DJ on the Redoalfo upload remains unknown, as well as the other song in the video, which Dizzy transitions into at the three-minute mark.
