The song "Answers" by Chilean industrial metal band {{w|Vigilante (band)|Vigilante}} became known as '''The Mystery Song''' when orion44 created {{ytmnd|unknownsong|a YTMND}} offering $20 to anyone who could identify it.
+
 
+
The first use of the Mystery Song in a YTMND was by mikeeey in [http://popandpoprocks.ytmnd.com Poprocks and Pop] on April 30th, 2006. However the song was not widely known until it was used to great effect on May 23rd, 2006, by ps3fool's in {{ytmnd|demonexterminator|Tenacious D, Demon Exterminator}}.  (Ironically, the image in ps3fool's YTMND is from Tenacious D's video for "Tribute," a song that refers to the mysterious and forgotten "greatest and best song in the world".)  As the Tenacious D site rose in popularity, the origin of its music became an urgent matter for YTMND users who wanted to hear the full song.
+
 
+
Orion44's $20 bounty fueled the mania for the Mystery Song, which had by then become associated with the forcelike power that Tenacious D appears to be wielding in the "Tribute" video.  For two days, dozens of YTMNDs were made using the song, either claiming to have identified it or utilizing its epic feel.
+
 
+
The Mystery Song was finally identified on May 25th by PocoLoco, who provided the artist, title, album cover, and a full mp3 of the song in {{ytmnd|mysterysongisfound|this YTMND}}.  True to his word, orion44 paid $20 ($19.12 after PayPal fees) to sponsor one of PoloLoco's other YTMNDs, {{ytmnd|religionandpolitics|Religion & Politics}}.
+
 
+
This fad died down following PoloLoco's revelation and a general disfavor of the full version of the song. The Mystery Song can be considered a [[dead fad]], although "Answers" continues to be referred to as "The Mystery Song" despite its identification. Many sites will link Tenacious D to the music though. Attempts to create similar fads to identify other "mystery songs" have met with far less attention or success.
+
 
+
"Answers" was included as a track on [[YTMND_Soundtrack#Volume_11|YTMND - The Soundtrack Volume 11]]
