The eighth episode of the Nickelodeon show The Adventures of Pete and Pete is about the younger of the show’s titular Petes trying to track down a song. He first hears this song from a band playing in a local garage. He sings it to himself until the memory starts to fade. He hums the melody over his makeshift radio station to find anyone else who has heard it. When no one responds, he starts a band to rewrite it.
This episode sent hundreds of kids down a similar path. I was one of them.
