Joe Cauliflower (previously known as "Joe Will Never Be The Same") is an nearly solved new-wave song posted to WatZatSong by user Guglielm in 2014.

Background

On August 19th, 2014, the song was first uploaded to WatZatSong by user Guglielm, who stated in his post that the song was internally tagged as being created by "David Barron or Barren or Byron or Bearon". Guglielm also remembered that during the song's original radio broadcast on WFMU New Jersey, the artist was interviewed and spoke with the DJ.

Discovery

On May 3rd, 2024, WatZatSong user wtz_fan linked to a YouTube channel called DavidBaronMusic, who may have created the song.

On June 6th, 2024, DavidBaronMusic commented on a reupload of the song by user q, confirming that he created the song while he was a music student to be played on WFMU, and it was played as a favor by his friend and DJ Bill Berger. He also confirmed that he created another one of Guglielm's lost songs, called "Ocean", that the song is called "Joe Cauliflower" and that the song was recorded in 1986.

He is currently waiting for his Tascam 244 tape deck to be repaired before posting the full song, as it is the only way his master cassette will be playable so it can be ripped and uploaded online.

Lyrics

Presumed Lyrics (We?), cauliflower can move with power

(But this isn’t fine with power?)

And we move

We move towards that tunnel, (we move on?)

One day you and I will go together and (marry?)

And Joe will never be the same

We’ll ??? together

And we turn towards your [???]

And now he's bigger and stronger

And he knows that he’s cauliflower, Joe

And he knows that he’s cauliflower Joe

He knows that he’s cauliflower Joe

He knows

He knows
