On November 1, 2006, LORRAINE posted a 15-second sample on WatZatSong. It went unnoticed for around sixteen whole years until a wave of interest appeared recently. And some people are mad the OP won’t come back… 💀
On November 1st, 2006, the user LORRAIN posted a 15-second sample on WatZatSong. It went unnoticed for around sixteen years, and only became slightly popular around 2021, until it went widespread by q's video of the snippet on April 9th, 2023.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYOiiI4ySyw</ref>


Because the sample was uploaded the day after Halloween, and the lyrics match with the theme, it is widely thought that the song comes from a Halloween-themed movie, show, advertisement, or some other media. It could also come from a decoration.

|'''(Verse 1)'''
I'm feelin'
 
I'm close
 
Something spooky like the sheet of a ghost
 
There's a certain tension rising in the air
 
My head is achin'
 
Fingers wet
 
I placed the joker right on top of the bet
 
There’s no need to wonder, used to (guess I should dare?)
 
Where will I find it
 
A thousand miles from home
 
I'm approaching the altitude knowing that I'm on my own
 
'''(Pre Chorus)'''
 
So close, just one step to heaven
 
Don't hesitate
 
Just keep on course, you know
 
It's far too late
 
'''(Chorus)'''
 
Wheels turnin'
 
Hearts burnin'
 
Taking off, flying into paradise
 
She's cheatin'
 
Heart's beatin'
 
Just try to make it right
 
Wheels turnin'
 
Hearts burnin'
 
Taking off, flying into paradise
 
Hmm, I'm takin' off tonight
 
Into paradise.
 
'''(Verse 2)'''
 
Still searchin'
 
You still pray
 
That they won't find you at the end of the day
 
And you don't have to worry
 
It's a part of the plan
 
Who feels a lightning
 
Whoever gets the touch
 
Can we live without loving or feeling
 
It's just too much
 
'''(Pre Chorus)'''
 
So close, just one step to heaven
 
So don't hesitate
 
(Don't ever go?), you know
 
It's much too late
 
'''(Chorus)'''
 
Wheels turnin'
 
Hearts burnin'
 
Taking off, flying into paradise
 
She's cheatin'
 
Heart's beatin'
 
Just trying to make it right
 
Wheels turnin'
 
Hearts burnin'
 
Taking off, flying into paradise

Background[edit | edit source]

On November 1st, 2006, the user LORRAIN posted a 15-second sample on WatZatSong. It went unnoticed for around sixteen years, and only became slightly popular around 2021, until it went widespread by q's video of the snippet on April 9th, 2023.[1]

The OP is known to be from France based on his previous WatZatSong submissions, and his username can be traced back to a Dailymotion[2] and YouTube[3] account named argentanboy that posted WW2 videos about the history of Argentan, France, predating the upload of the song.[4]

Discovery[edit | edit source]

On July 23rd, 2024, the song was found in two different commercials for the BMW Z3 Roadster from 1996.[5][6]

After searching the extended snippet's lyrics on the German music database GEMA,[7] the original source of the snippet was discovered in a 1991 TV movie called Ausgetrickst, with the music credited to German film composer Michael Hofmann de Boer.[8][9][10] Michael was discovered to have been a member of a band called The Subjects, and the band's song "Paradise" was originally thought to be the song.[11]

The GEMA database listing found for the song "Into Paradise" listed Michael Hofmann de Boer as the writer and Martin Nethercutt as the vocalist.[12] Michael founded the song's publishing company, Whitehouse Musikverlag in 1988, so the song could only have been recorded between 1988 and 1991.[13]

Around 13 hours after the BMW snippets were posted, Martin Nethercutt was contacted and confirmed that he was the singer of the song,[14] but did not have a copy of it.[15]

Halloween/Ghost Theory[edit | edit source]
