That’s the joke. There were a lot of mislabeled media back then, basically anything funny was Weird Al, anything rock was Metallica except that one song about Zelda, that was totally SoaD, etc etc. All of them were wrong, and god help you if you try to download a movie. 50/ 50 you now have to figure out how to digitally shred your hard drive so you don’t get v& by the feds or b& irl.
Yep, life was simpler back when there were only six or seven bands on the internet. Vaguely punk sounding? Well that’s obviously Blink-182. Punk but with bagpipes? Dropkick Murphys. Dude with an acoustic guitar? Oh that’s Dave Matthews Band.
Oh, this one? Pendulum. Honestly! (Not Pendulum and I’ve never learned who actually did it but I have a cool unknown track in my collection
I think every millennial has at least one napster/limewire era “white whale” song. It was awesome and you’d try to determine who actually performed it for years without ever figuring it out. Mine was a punk song listed as Dropkick Murphys but all I know for certain is it definitely was not them. No lyric searches have ever pulled up a match despite the fact that every few years I’d try again on a whim.
My best guess is that it was probably a late '90s band that never had much of a following beyond whatever local music scene they came from and someone uploaded it from a demo they picked up at a show.
that’s a Judas Priest song fyi…

For me it was: hey check out this cool Muse song! - it’s Radiohead
Bring Me To Life? Clearly Linkin Park 👌
Oh, this one? Pendulum. Honestly! (Not Pendulum and I’ve never learned who actually did it but I have a cool unknown track in my collection 👍)
Good times.
Oh, and God forbid you ACTUALLY want to download porn unless you fancy playing CP roulette. 😰
It might be the song Slam by Pendulum if that helps your search. I remember finding it for the first time on Limewire
Sadly not. I became mad on Pendulum back in 2005, I’d absolutely recognise it if it was on any of their albums!

Where can I listen to it? Could you upload
Yes, for some time I remember thinking the Windows 95 song was Weird Al, since it was labelled that way. I thought it didn’t sound much like him!
yep, right over my head. thought it was just an old timey nervous reference to pirated music.
Whoosh
Born to be Alive was made by the Village People right?
This is obscure Dutch humor, those who know, know.
KLOOTVIOOL!
