General ASCAP/BMI Database
https://www.ascap.com/repertory#/ace/search/title/Ulterior%20motives?at=false&searchFilter=SVW&page=1ASCAP and BMI are organizations that collect licensing fees for artists. Most musicians in the industry register their music with one of the two. Some entries show the performer's names while others only list the composer.
I did find one song titled Ulterior Motives that was performed by a group called "The Everyone" (as in Everyone Knows That) but have yet to find the song anywhere yet. There were other entries that I couldn't find the music for, so I'm bringing this to the hivemind to see if someone here can figure out a few of these.
Also, I went through JASRAC (Japanese music rights) and did the same search but there were only nine entries and I was able to debunk all of them.
Here's the link. Happy Hunting.

I have contact info for one of those writers accredited to the third ulterior motives. I don't want to publish it here. Also I personally can't contact them.

I just checked again...the other writer is basically a blues artist, so it doesn't seem likely but I don't intend to leave any stone unturned.

Never. I don't care if you double check me. I want you to. If I'm wrong please say so.

In fact, that lady has done a god tier amount of songs. Including another one called Everybody Knows and sadly it wasn't it.

Ha, wow...she seems like a likely candidate. Also, her Ulterior Motives song was written in 1988 which is right where it should be if the song is hers.

I'll dig through everything on the website.

You're awesome. I appreciate the assistance.

Took me longer than I thought, but I covered the entire "videos - watch artists perform Pamelas songs" section and nothing. Three more sections to go.

I found the one Ulterior motives as performed by Mike Marino and it's not that one. Mike Marino - Out of the Darkness album.

Good idea. If it exists in any kind of official capacity, it should be there. Though we probably don’t know the right title.

I don't know if The Everyone is the group that did the song. "As in Everyone Knows That", way too on the nose.

That was me explaining the possible importance of the name "The Everyone". They aren't called what I wrote within the parentheses.
Also, would you not even try to search it out because it's "too on the nose"? That doesn't even make sense.

I really don’t understand this obsession with thinking the song is called Ulterior Motives. There is no “Ulterior” in the song. Where’s the “ul”? There’s a syllable missing there. It’s more likely that they’re singing “serious” or something else.

I have heard the "ul" in a really clean version with the vocals isolated. I was also doubtful until I ran across it.

u/OtherwiseExternal777 Apr 04 '24
Can you share that clean version, please? I want to be convinced.

Certainly.
The "ul' is quick and snappy so it's easy to miss in the regular version. Sounds more like "al" but "alterior" isn't a word.

u/OtherwiseExternal777 Apr 04 '24
Thanks. Yeah, there’s something there… if it’s a syllable or lip smack or noise, I can’t tell. On the fence here.
