Man, I have to disagree. This is a stone cold whodunnit. The tried-and-true way to make progress is to a) clarify what you know and don't know; b) question what you THINK you know; c) keep making unknowns knowns to get a better picture. What else can be done? Just sit there and hope?[/quote]
Yes pretty much. Anything that could be found out would have been found out by now.

In the case of the radio station, maybe someone who worked at that station is still alive. Maybe they remember the song. Or maybe the station kept a track listing that is sitting in a box somewhere.

I doubt anybody that played a nothing song 25 years ago is going to remember it and to find it on a playlist assuming they still have it you would need to know not only what year it was played but what day and probably time too. We don't have that information. The year he recorded it is dubious at best.

<br> And the fact that it is a German station seems important. To me, that means it is more likely that the artist was either British or continental. [/quote]
That's almost a given, can't think of too many American bands that play that kind of music. Doesn't really help much though does it.

When the song was recorded is important, the clip not so much.
We will find out what this song is when either someone finds it in an old record shop by pure chance or if someone involved in the recording hears it.
In order to find it the way you're talking about you would need at least one piece of information.
Either the artist, the (real) title, the record label, the producer
Without one of those pieces of info the year and country of origin won't really help much. There are literally 10.000's songs recorded every year and most remain in obscurity.
