Ulterior Motives

"Ulterior Motives" is a song composed by Christopher and Philip Booth for the 1986 pornographic film Angels of Passion. A 17-second snippet of the track went viral when posted on WatZatSong.com in 2021 by user "carl92". The user stumbled upon the recording within files in an old DVD backup. The same snippet also played during the title card sequence of early airings of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Nature Pants" in 1999.Source: Trust me bro
"Ulterior Motives", often nicknamed "Everyone Knows That" or "EKT" (a misperception of the lyric "everyone knows it"), has garnered mass online attention since being posted, resulting in an extensive collaborative online effort, largely concentrated within Reddit to search for the full song, its origin and artist, which ended in April of 2024 when Reddit user "south_pole_ball" found it whilst watching porn. 
The song and interpretations of the lyrics are a running gag in the collaborative fanon work The Anything Movie, also serving as one of the credits' themes.
The snippet, particularly the misperceived lyric "You're counting all the sheep in the sky", has also become one of many in-jokes on the SBFW Crib server. This even led to Cactusinthebank remixing the track.
The snippet is also the basis for The SpongeBob and Daddy Pig Show short "Song Seekers", wherein SpongeBob and Squidward (who are dating in this continuity) search for the full song.
== Lyrics ==
Something in your eyes, makes me realize
How strange it seems
Something in your smile, could be up on trial
Of broken dreams
You're counting all your sheep in disguise
Caught up in the world of lies
Everyone knows it, you've got
Ulterior motives, tell me truth
Every move shows it, ah ha
If something's on your mind, spit it out and find
The perfect scam
All your truth and dares, do you really care?
Just who I am
You're always biting more than you can chrew
When will you realize the truth
Everyone knows it, you've got
Ulterior motives, tell me truth
I got it from the wise that you're telling lies...
