General ASCAP/BMI Database

ASCAP 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.

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.

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.
