An acronym for “The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet”.
TMMSOTI, or
TMS, is one of the names given to a song thought to be from the 80’s, whose
artist is unknown.
The song was recorded off of the German radio station “NDR” onto a cassette tape, by a young German boy.
Due to him leaving out the
DJ/announcer, when he labeled the tape, there was a song that he came across that he didn’t know the name or
artist of.
Decades later, the internet would discover the song, and the previous attempts on
old forums to identify it, and the song went viral.
A massive search was conducted for the song’s name and its artist, primarily by Reddit users.
As of March
2024, the search is still ongoing, but the song has still not yet been identified.
