Ulterior Motives (Everyone Knows That/EKT) Full Song

Instructions

this song was found and i am happy about it “Ulterior Motives,” formerly known as “Everyone Knows That,” is an obscure synth-pop song that remained lost for 2 years and was considered lost media until it was miraculously discovered in full on April 28th, 2024 in an unexpected place: the background audio of a scene from an adult movie, “Angels of Passion,” directed by Jerome Bronson and released in 1986. Since October 7th, 2021, a 17-second audio snippet lived in obscurity on the site WatZatSong.com, uploaded by a user named “Carl92” with little accompanying information about its origin. The clip, with its hypnotic synthesized melody and vocals repeating “Everyone knows that,” became known to Internet archivists and lost media hunters simply as “Everyone Knows That,” commonly abbreviated to “EKT,” or “Ulterior Motives.” The breakthrough came after a dedicated searcher found a YouTube video containing a song that sounded extremely similar to the “Everyone Knows That” snippet playing in the background of an adult film scene. Crucially, the video description listed the composers as Christopher Saint Booth and Philip Adrian Booth. Joining forces, the community of archivists rapidly combed through the filmographies of Christopher and Philip Booth, creators of soundtrack music for vintage adult films. It was u/south_pole_ball, a member of the subreddit r/everyoneknowsthat dedicated to finding this lost song, who finally struck gold — locating the complete “Ulterior Motives” playing during a scene in one of the Booth brothers' adult film scores. While the means of its rediscovery were certainly unorthodox, for the committed community undertaking this search, finding even a low-quality version of “Ulterior Motives” represented a major “lost media” achievement years in the making. However, the search is not fully complete until a high-quality source for the full song surfaces. On April 30th, 2024, songwriter Christopher Saint Booth uploaded a video to his Instagram account showing a clear image of a handwritten lyrics sheet for “Ulterior Motives”, indicating in the video that a new version of the song may be recorded in response to its sudden popularity. lyrics : [Verse 1] Something in your eyes makes me realize How strange it seems Something in your smile could be up on trial Of broken dreams [Pre-Chorus] You're counting all your sheep in disguise Caught up in the world of lies [Chorus] Everyone knows it (You’ve got) Ulterior motives, tell me the truth Every move shows it (Ah-ha) Don't you realize that you're telling lies?
