Maybe an 80's Song?

[round123]

Sorry but I wish I had more info...I was at Outback Steakhouse the other night and this song came on Sirius and I hadn't heard it in forever. I think it's an 80's song that was somewhat popular and the chorus ends in "tonight." They must have mentioned this word at the end of various verses 20 times. That was really the only word that I could pick up because my girlfriend kept talking even when I was asked her to let me try to hear the song.

I know this isn't much info but I thought that I would throw it out there and see.

Thanks!

any clues to genre? is it fast, slow? love song? non love song? male singing? female?

[round123]

It was more of a classic pop eighties kind of song like something you'd hear from A-Ha or General Public or Howard Jones. It was a male singing and the verses kept ending in "tonight." I'm not sure if it was a love song but It could have been.

How about Cutting Crew's "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight"?

Or maybe NKOTB Tonight?

Or Genesis's song Tonight, Tonight, Tonight?

Or Ken Laszlo's tonight?

Definitely not a Genesis or NKOTB song but the last one is getting close but not quite it.

[bravos12]

ooooh... think I may have it. How about "Your Love" by the Outfield

Thanks for the help but that song is too heavy. This one is like a typical cheesy 80's song...like a Howard Jones type of song.

Hi, I was reading this requesst this morning; after that I was driving in my car and in the radio they were playing
HEY LITTLE GIRL by ICEHOUSE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1pDwgMVfso

... I just had the feeling to send you this wild guess .


Tahira

[round123]

I hate to say but those last two are definitely on the right track...but still not it. Thanks for your suggestions!

My first thought was "Tonight, Tonight" by Smashing Pumpkins (1995)

[round123]

It was a little more upbeat and not as mainstream as Smashing Pumkins. I'm pretty sure that this group has only had one or two songs that were hits because I'm pretty good at recognizing voices. The genre was definitely 80's type and sounded similar to that of General Public or Howard Jones. I doubt the title has "tonight" in it but I do remember that many of the verses ended with "tonight." I know this is very little info to go on but I appreciate all of the help.

[atmaster]

Next wild guesses are:

"Tonite" by Air Supply

"Tonite" by April Wine

[round123]

Thanks for the help but that still not it. I really doubt that it has the word "tonight" in the title but it is mentioned at the end of the main chorus. It's probably a one-hit-wonder. Thanks!

The Fixx -Red skies..

Maybe thisClip gives you some new ideas:

Eagly-Eye Cherry - Save Tonight (y)

[lsdj19NZ]

Perhaps you could try - 'Tonight' a Reggaeish duet by Tina Turner & David Bowie from the 80's and it was a popular song back then

' There are no coincidences, just rendezvous '
' Tonight ', i was looking up Gerry Cott's 1984 mini LP - I Left My Hat In Haiti (5 songs and the 3 i've heard are fabulous, if anyone would care to share...) and this post was reactivated and this came up in my prior search, so here is my candidate:

Boomtown Rats - Tonight (1984) (21 tonights...not cheesy but ordinary 80's)

[Silvercell]

I know this is a old thread but i had the same predicament as the op and it led me here. None of them were it but i found what i was looking for:

Rod Stewarts- Young Turks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgczlrYM4eI

the music video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSWp6...eature=related

lyrics have "young hearts be free tonight..." and it's from 1981

maybe this what he was looking for... long time ago....

[Sarcastro]

Not Tonight by Depeche Mode

[sroz]

Did the OP say it was a guy? Cuz when I hear cheezy 80's & tonite in the same sentence, I think of Blondie-Atomic

Maybe The Church - Under The Milky Way?
