It’s a long shot all things considered, but would anyone on here know the name to this particular song and who the band was?

From the bits of information I and many others (particularly Gabriel Vieira) have gathered from various sources for a considerable amount of time, no one seems to be able to identify this particular song. The latest theory from a person is that this song was played in part to the opening title of a particular 1980s movie, which is mainly why I have posted this information on here to begin with.

Following the Reddit “#The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet”
