Recently discovered that this is the song playing on the radio in the crashed car you find near the end of the Doom map MyHouse.wad - because of course it is

Given the recent MyHouse boom on youtube, I suspect that's the reason this is here now.
That's hilarious because I watched a playthrough recently and wondered if copyright is ever enforced in stuff like this when I heard that, without knowing what the song was. Now I know that it's essentially (inadvertently) public domain.
As I saw in a youtube comment: this is the only song you WANT to get copyright-struck for. If your video gets taken down for copying the song, you'll be the hero who solved the mystery of which song it is.
I play popular songs on my keyboard on youtube. I've never gotten a strike, but I have had some ContentID hits. I always enjoy that because it means I got pretty close.
