    Default New Wave song like Iggy Pop's Lust For Life?

    Hey everybody,

    The song I'm looking for sounds almost exactly like Iggy Pop's Lust For Life. But the vocals are more in tune with the beginning riff/first chorus riff of Wax's Bridge To Your Heart (which popped up on Midomi when I tried to sing it). Also, for some reason it reminded me of General Republic's Tenderness. It had a similar beat and feel to it. Here are links for reference:

    Lust For Life - Iggy Pop

    Bridge to Your Heart - Wax

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmoHQ2DC3zo
    Tenderness - General Republic

    The only lyrics I could make out were, "Bop bop da da, bop bop da Da, bop bop ba da, da." Those were actual lyrics. The other lyrics might have been in a foreign language, but I heard it in a grocery store in the US that plays mostly 70s and 80s music. I think it's a New Wave 80s song. The vocalist kinda sounded like Joe Strummer (from The Clash), but I couldn't find anything from them that matched. Also, I think it played during the credits of a romcom movie.

    I'm having some real trouble finding this one, so your help is appreciated.

    Thank you!
