Ulterior Motives (song)

"Ulterior Motives" is a song recorded by the British-Canadian filmmakers and musicians Christopher and Philip Booth in the mid-1980s, and first used in the 1986 pornographic film Angels of Passion.

Derived from the previously debated lyrics of the snippet, the song was initially referred to as "Everyone Knows That" (often abbreviated as EKT) or "Ulterior Motives".

In October 2024, the Booth brothers announced that they were investigating a 'new lead' in the search for the original master mix of Ulterior Motives.

They believe a tape containing a complete version of the song is in the possession of a copyright registration office, whom they have contacted to request its release.

[10] "Ulterior Motives" was recorded by Christopher and Philip Booth at their home studio in Encino, Los Angeles,[11] in 1985.

[3] Search participants theorised that the source for the song might be a 1990s MTV broadcast, a piece of production music, or a commercial jingle.

In an Instagram Q&A conducted on 29 June, Christopher confirmed that parts of a rough mixdown of the original "Ulterior Motives" were used in the remake; however, the full tape could not be released due to suffering from dropouts.

[28] Ulterior Motives (The Lost Album) was released on 23 June 2024; it contains both the Booth brothers' remake of its title track as well as twelve other 1980s-era recordings found while searching for the masters to said song.
