Sort of reminds me the Reply All episode "The Case of the Missing Hit": https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/o2h8bx which involves a similar search for an unidentified song (though in this case, just one that someone remembers having heard, rather than an actual recording).

IMO This is the best single podcast episode ever made.

Agreed. Someone convinced me to listen to it under the guise of "just trust me, the less you know going in, the better" and they were 100% right.
I just listened for the first time, and yeah, it's well presented for a general audience, but I was completely unable to believe that they thought that the steps they took in their search made logical sense. It's like the reality TV version of a lost media search. You don't need experts to find a lost pop song, you just need the internet!
