Background
On August 23, 2012, the song was first posted to the New Wave Outpost forums by user Guglielm as part of a collection of lost songs, but it did not gain much traction.[1]
On July 16, 2013, Guglielm uploaded the song to WatZatSong,[2] but it did not receive much attention, so he reuploaded it on August 6, 2014, stating in his post that the song was possibly called Waiting for a Come Down.[3] Based on the OP's other found songs, this song was most likely recorded between 1980 and 1984, and recorded from the WFMU New Jersey radio station.[4]
According to WatZatSong user tyx, the song features an Oberheim DMX drum machine, which was manufactured between 1980 and 1985.[5]
On June 10, 2023, YouTube user NY80sTapes posted another recording of the song from a compilation of radio snippets, which is assumed to have been recorded from the same broadcast on WFMU in 1983.[6]
Discovery
On December 6, 2024, Discord user aidnic found a mention of a 1981 live performance by a band called Strike on WFMU DJ Pat Duncan's Facebook, and later found the partial audio of the show from a 2006 WFMU show archive.[7]
The band had two lost cassette albums,[8] including one titled Falling Up, which was released on January 17, 1983.[9] The song was not featured on the partial live recording, but the band's vocals and musical style were similar to the lost song.[10]
On December 8, 2024, the song was identified as "At Night" by Strike after the band's guitarist John Costa was contacted and proved that they created the song.[11] Guglielm also claimed that the song was tagged as "Strike," but it wasn't included in the original post because he wasn't sure about the tag's accuracy.[3]

Lyrics
| Presumed Lyrics |
| (Verse 1)
We start to shake, we feel the change from the inside We concentrate, we shoot the stars after midnight Back to the park once again (in a go-go land?) (Cheap swing?) at the talking kings once again (and the downdeep blast?) We're lookin' for a new example We know we cannot change the world The walls outside can tumble, but I I don't think we care (Chorus) Everybody's looking for the in-crowd (at night) Everybody's waiting for the countdown (at night) (Verse 2) Spin out, the party boys again Like a team, we play the scene again Following the active pressure Dancing in the jagged light Pretty, painted poison, with a A synthetic mind I get confused (Chorus) Everybody's looking for the in-crowd (at night) Everybody's waiting for the countdown (Bridge) Waiting, waiting... Waiting, waiting Waiting At night At night (Chorus) Everybody's looking for the in-crowd (at night) Everybody's waiting for the countdown Everybody's looking for the in-crowd (at night) Everybody's waiting for the countdown (at night) Everybody's looking for the in-crowd (at night) Everybody's waiting (at night) for the countdown (at night) Everybody's looking for the in-crowd Everybody's waiting for the countdown Everybody's looking for the in-crowd |
