| − | 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.
