    Question old song which is still playing

    Hello guys im looking for an old song from the 80s-90s i think. it is stil played where i live sometimes.

    Additional Information:

    The song is sung by a man who could be in his 30-40s and dont have a justin bieber vioce :P, it also sounds very melodic.

    The lyrics go like this:

    (Oh, Boy) with a brooookeeen heaaart , (Oh Boy)
    Then something which i dont remember, but sounds like:
    Naaananaaaanaa (Oh,Boy!)

    Please note that this arent the real lyrics, but they sound like the real ones.


    I tried looking on google for this song but the only thing i got were new bands with synths or some old songs sung by a man with guitar.

    Thnx in advance.

    Hmm that wasnt it.
    The song im looking for is sung more energic and louder.

    (maybe it was some one hit wonder?)

    Hard to imagine a more energic song than Springsteen's "Hungry Heart"...

    Anyway, I did not find a good match for your lyrics.
    Try the following songs:

    "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes
    "Born With A Broken Heart" by Kenny Wayne Shepherd

    A long shot, but it could be "It's a hard life" by Queen.

    atmaster - Both songs werent it

    Albruna - I heard that song alot of times and the difference between your song and mine is that i could hear yours always on the internet, but not mine. (i heard it only when the radio was playing it)


    I think i have imrpoved my lyrics:

    I heard some kind of fast intrumental in this song after the (Oh, Boy!) 2 times and it sounded like that sound when you clap your hands.

    Maybe too old, not sure.

    Andrew Gold - Lonely Boy

    Also this live version by the Hoosiers, where you can actually see the clapping at the right times

    Haha, I thought about that too! But I didn't want to ridicule myself by posting it, since it was WAY off the mark IMHO

    I thought about Buddy Holly, but I think that's the version up above that states "or some old songs sung by a man with guitar".

    Guessing that was Buddy, could be wrong

    I thought of the Andrew Gold song too but I couldn't imagine the lyrics would be that far off lol

    Yeah but the original post says :

    "Please note that this arent the real lyrics, but they sound like the real ones."

    So I went for it
