I'm looking for an 80's alternative pop song with the lyrics...

Spending time in Central Park
getting slapped, breaking hearts
Hiding out on lover's lane
It's my heart
I feel no pain

Taking a chance on a brand new baby
Sitting on a branch with a thousand maybies

So this is love
It's my life
I'll make it right
This is love
I see the light


Anyone remember this being played back then? I'm sure it was from a one-hit wonder...

Me too, Leeney! I've been humming it for years now, wishing I knew what the hell I was humming. :D

The song is on a 20 year old tape. I was gonna play it for Richard Blade when he used to DJ at a nearby club but I forgot to bring it into him. If anyone would've known who they were, he would've...

Keith, it's not White Lion or Whitesnake. The song is very new wave. My guess is it came out in 82-83.

Hi again,

I posted your song at the New Wave outpost and got this reply from Jason.

Haven't heard it in a while, but that sorta reminds me of "This Is Love" by Bang Bang...



Cheers.

Thanks. Apparently, that band did have a song by that name and the fact that it came out in '84 makes me believe that's the song I'm talking about. Unfortunately, neither Amazon or Yahoo's music sites have any song clips to listen to in order to make sure that's the same one.

Anyone know of any other sites which allow you to listen to clips so I can check the validity of this?

Hi Fiction.

Good news.

The song is Indeed by Bang Bang. Just received an e-mail from Rene from Dedini Devils site, and he said it is by Bang Bang. He has the single.

Check his site in the coming weeks, he will have up.

Awesome! <--80's colloquialism :)

Thanks a lot. I've been wanting to know who sang that song since...well since 1984. That's almost 20 friggin' years!!!

Anyway, for all of you who haven't heard this song, go check it out. A great 80's song which sounds best in the summertime...

Damn, I had this song on my puter and then lost it!

Does anybody have a link to where I might get it? Is Di Dini Devil still hosting it?
