==Background==
On November 1, 2006, the user LORRAIN posted a 15-second sample on WatZatSong. It went unnoticed for around sixteen years until a wave of new interest appeared recently.
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.
The OP is known to be from France based on his previous WatZatSong submissions, and his username can be traced back to a Dailymotion<ref>https://www.dailymotion.com/argentanboy</ref> and YouTube<ref>https://www.youtube.com/@argentanboy</ref> account named argentanboy that posted WW2 videos about the history of Argentan, France, predating the upload of the song.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/TensionInTheAir/comments/1dfm3c7/possibly_found_lorrains_real_name/</ref>


==Theories==
== Discovery ==
===Soundtrack Theory===
On July 23rd, 2024, the song was found in two different commercials for the BMW Z3 Roadster from 1996.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5ThBMM5H7g</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJA-d3MRkhg</ref>
On 2006, the user pianoman74 mentioned: "@what is for sure is that it must be from an 80s action flick.". Other user followed with "no clue - even if it sounds a bit like 'Danger Zone' from Top Gun. It's not - I know... but yes - typically 80ies."


Users quickly began to notice what sounds like a sound effect placed over the song near the end of the snippet. It is assumed here that LORRAIN possibly heard the song used as part of a soundtrack, be a movie, an edit or an ad, and stopped recording once the sound effect came in.
After searching the extended snippet's lyrics on the German music database GEMA,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/TensionInTheAir/comments/1ecegoi/comment/lezzuxi/</ref> 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.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1pUYNJBn4E&t=5998s</ref><ref>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101384/fullcredits/</ref><ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hofmann_de_Boer?useskin=vector https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hofmann_de_Boer]</ref> 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.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/TensionInTheAir/comments/1ea2jeq/comment/leiktst/</ref>


===Ghost-themed theory===
The GEMA database listing found for the song "Into Paradise" listed Michael Hofmann de Boer as the writer and Martin Nethercutt as the vocalist.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/TensionInTheAir/comments/1ea7l32/into_paradise_is_the_song/</ref> Michael founded the song's publishing company, Whitehouse Musikverlag in 1988, so the song could only have been recorded between 1988 and 1991.<ref>https://www.northdata.com/Whitehouse+Musikverlag+Michael+Hofmann+-+Ralph+Siegel+OHG,+M%C3%BCnchen/HRA+65489</ref>
Some users agreed that the song might have been from a ghost-themed show, "Ghost Train" as a possible source.
 
Around 13 hours after the BMW snippets were posted, Martin Nethercutt was contacted and confirmed that he was the singer of the song,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/TensionInTheAir/comments/1eaeb0f/martin_nethercutt_confirms_he_is_the_vocalist/</ref> but did not have a copy of it.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/TensionInTheAir/comments/1eaeyke/damn/</ref>
 
On July 25th, 2024, Michael Hofmann de Boer was contacted, and a relative of his confirmed that he has a high-quality version of the song in his possession, but he is currently on vacation and is unable to post the song.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/TensionInTheAir/comments/1ec2qne/michael_hofmann_de_boer_confirms_that_the_full/</ref>
 
== Former Theories ==
 
===Action/War Movie Soundtrack Theory===
The most common theory was that the song was from a war film or action movie similar to Top Gun based on the lyrics, the "plane" sound heard near the end, and LORRAIN's interest in war media.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/TensionInTheAir/comments/1dfw6lq/the_war_theory/</ref> It was assumed that LORRAIN possibly heard the song used as part of a soundtrack, be it a movie, an edit, or an ad, and stopped recording once the sound effect came in to capture the longest clear snippet free of dialogue and noise.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/TensionInTheAir/comments/1dh8uij/theory_involving_war_films/</ref>
 
=== Halloween/Ghost Theory ===
The song was uploaded the day after Halloween, so it was thought to be from a Halloween-themed movie, show, advertisement, or other media, possibly a decoration.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/TensionInTheAir/comments/1cjx9sr/huge_factor_we_need_to_remember_found_in_yt/</ref>

I placed the joker right on top of the bet

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

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]

On July 25th, 2024, Michael Hofmann de Boer was contacted, and a relative of his confirmed that he has a high-quality version of the song in his possession, but he is currently on vacation and is unable to post the song.[16]
