This One's Gonna Fly

ⓘ This lostwave is classified as partially (un)solved.

Above The Clouds was a lostwave hoax, fabricated by kerlo on WatZatSong.

History

Above The Clouds was uploaded to WatZatSong on December 11, 2023. The OP of the song, Kerlo, claimed that the song came from a pirated Mr Peabody and Sherman DVD found in a blue pouch, estimating it to be dated 2014 or 2015. Kerlo would then upload a video of the DVD startup screen to his YouTube.

Many people who listened to the lostwave described it as “scary” or “ominous”.

One YouTube comment said that “the loudness of the guitar and overall stock feel of the song fills me to the brim with dread and primal fear … God my fear of this song has gotten so bad I just can’t bear to listen to it and have to mute the volume”.

An initial theory was that Paula Toledo was the same artist behind Above The Clouds.

After reviewing, Reddit user u/matty36749 concluded that the DVD menu was created with DVD styler.

Redditors also speculated that the song was irregularly pitched.

Discovery

On January 29, 2024, aholyman uploaded a snippet of the song on WatZatSong, then uploaded the entire song onto Vocaroo. Within 3 hours, the song was identified as “This One’s Gonna Fly” by Templeton Thompson.

On February 23, 2024, the sample was confirmed to be a hoax after a Redditor found that Kerlo had listened to Templeton Thompson just days before uploading the snippet. Kerlo confirmed this.
