Who would have thought a few days ago that ‘It’s A Mystery’ would be being mentioned all over the internet this week? Media Molecule<\/a><\/strong> using Toyah’s, second, Top Of The Pops<\/em> appearance from 1981 on their “teaser” page for a new, highly anticipated, game project has led to mention of the song, and Toyah going sorta “viral”. Here are a few more of the many websites reporting the story:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Gamezone<\/a><\/strong>: The new project is listed as “?”, and the dedicated page contains a YouTube video of Toyah Willcox singing “It’s a Mystery.” Attempting to scour the source code for any hints, Media Molecule has cleverly teased the keywords: “what are we doing at the moment, exactly, mystery, new game, how awesome will it be?, who knows.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 Gameranx<\/a><\/strong>: In place of further information about what the game entails (or whether it’s a game or not at all), right now all they’ve posted is a video of early 80s UK New Wave artist Toyah singing her song \u201cIt’s A Mystery\u201d on a classic episode of Top Of The Pops.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Video Gamer<\/a><\/strong>: Click through to the game and you are greeted with a YouTube embed of Toyah Wilcox hit ‘”It’s a Mystery”. It sure is.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Playstation Universe<\/a><\/strong>: The developer behind the critically-acclaimed LittleBigPlanet series has seemingly posted up a teaser for a new project. Media Molecule\u2019s official website notably includes a \u2018?\u2019 among its list of games, with the page linking to a clip from Toyah\u2019s \u2018It\u2019s a Mystery.\u2019 No further information is given.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Warp Zoned<\/a><\/strong>: The list of games on the developer\u2019s website includes their previous titles as well as a question mark. The question mark links to the music video for \u201cIt\u2019s A Mystery,\u201d a minor hit for the UK band Toyah in 1981. Sadly, the lyrics aren\u2019t much help: It\u2019s a mystery, oh, it\u2019s a mystery, I\u2019m still searching for a clue, It\u2019s a mystery to me, A shot in the dark, The big question mark in history, Is it a mystery to you?<\/em> (minor hit? It was huge Warped Zone ;))<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
