    Default Solved: Not much to go on - real challenge!

    Hey guys,

    I can't tell you how much I would appreciate any help trying to solve this one - it's taking over my life!!!!

    I don't have much to go on:

    90s cheesy pop (possible late 80s)
    Male singer with high pitched voice (or good range with a high register)
    Video is possibly him in a suit or white suit in a desert with his arms spread??

    I can remember the chorus melody and possible lyrics - which are either "You're mine" or "Why?" but most likely "You're mine" - it starts with the "You're" then there is a slight pause followed by "mine" going from a high note to a low note sounding like "My...I...I...I...I...I...ine" (high to low)

    It's NOT You're my favourite waste of time.

    Any help before I drive myself crazy??

    It could be "My Favourite Waste Of Time" by Owen Paul.

    I am a living breathing song book. I can tell you the name of a song and you sings it by listening to the first few seconds..

    Some artists really go wild singing:

    Screamin' Jay Hawkins' song: I Put a Spell on You (1956)

    Latest cover is an all-star gallery for Concern Worldwide - Haiti benefit

    ....because... You're... Mine...

    Doh!

    Well the sentiments still stand. I haven't slept in months trying to figure out that song!

    Typically, as soon as I rang round all the people I had been bugging about this song for AGES, the majority of them said "Oh yeah, of course it's China Black, you were singing it wrong..." *facepalm*

    Thanks again m'lady.
