Sidis photographed for his Harvard Graduation (1914).

Status: Partially Found/Lost

William James Sidis was an American child prodigy. His monumentous intellectual abilities, coupled with a seemingly tragic life story, have attracted wide interest from scholars, scientists, and popular commentators.

Status of Lost works

The preservation of Sidis's works is sketchy. He is known to have used many pseudonyms to publish his writings, and it is unclear if some of his known writings were even published at all. Amy Wallace, the only author to write a systematic biography of Sidis, had access to some of his writings and reproduced brief quotations in her book.

The Vendergood language may have been inspired by Esperanto, a constructed language meant to facilitate international communication. The Esperanto movement had began in the decade's prior to Vendergood's creation, and Sidis is known to have been fluent in the language later in life.

-"Take On Me" is a song by Norwegian Pop band a-ha that became a worldwide hit in 1985. Unknown to many is that prior to the finalized version the song there were '''various early demos.'''

-Prior to the formation of a-ha, there was a group called Bridges. The group made numerous performances in pubs and similar places before releasing their first and only record, a self titled demo EP album.

-The Bridges composed "The Juicy Fruit Song", allegedly written in 1979, the group toyed with it until a jam session in 1981 where future lead singer of a-ha Morten Harket was listening to the jam session; Morten was greatly pleased with the vibe of the song. Sadly, the Bridges group broke up, but would reform with Morten to form A-ha.
+William James Sidis was an American child prodigy. His monumentous intellectual abilities, coupled with a seemingly tragic life story, have attracted wide interest from scholars, scientists, and popular commentators.
-==Lesson One (Spring/Autumn 1982)==
-In 1982, the first full demo was made (at least fully available) in the form of 'Lesson One' with Morten on vocals and very basic synth in the background. There isn't much to note from this particular demo, other than it has a more campy 80s vibe about it.
-==Hunting High & Low & Swing of Things (1983)==
+==Status of Lost works==
-In 1983 there was the Hunting High & Low and Swing Of Things demo. The only difference between the two mixes is that one may or may not have a B-side track that takes place right after it, and the  other has some obscure studio chatter at the end. The track starts to sound much more like the finish product, even having a solo portion like the finished song, which previous known versions lacked.
-==Tony Mansfield/Blue Mix (Early 1984)==
+The preservation of Sidis's works is sketchy. He is known to have used many pseudonyms to publish his writings, and it is unclear if some of his known writings were even published at all. Amy Wallace, the only author to write a systematic biography of Sidis, had access to some of his writings and reproduced brief quotations in her book.
-But in 1984, things were about to change. The first proper mix of 'Take On Me' was produced and mixed by Tony Mansfield and was released with a very different video. This became known as the Blue Version, with a slightly extended mix on some records afterwards. The mix was a bomb, and had very little chart presence. It's almost the same as the original, but different synth sounds and still not Sound FX solo.
-==Final Version (1985)==
+such as the peridromophile, would be unlikely
-Sometime between then and 1985, a further unknown take was produced. This particular take has an amazonian jungle vibe to it. Presumably, this was the backing track for overdubs.
-And of course we have the iconic song everyone makes fun of in a good way. Back to the original point. It's unclear if this song was ever released, until a few weeks ago when I found an article briefly mentioning it. It goes like this:
-Before Take On Me became Take On Me, there was Lesson One, a very simple demo. But before that was a rougher mix called 'The Juicy Fruit Song', which was recorded on their one and only LP but was cut at the last second for reason not yet known." I have been unable to track that article ever since.
-So the song does exist. And the only YouTube proof is a very poor quality video from the late 2000s.
