I remember loving a song back in the 80s, but I only remember the melody, not even the lyrics! Can you help?

The song didn't use any instruments, it was only voices by 3-4 men. One was singing while the others were making 'noises' (the instruments). I knew it was something like "The Nylons", so I discovered that there's indeed a band that was there in the 80s and they're not using any instruments. So, I believe the band is indeed "The Nylons", but I'm not 100% sure.

The only thing I can remember is a tiny bit of the video. If I remember correctly, they're alone near a pool table most of the time in what seems to be a bar. The song is slow.

I did a small MIDI file of the melody as I remember it. You'll find it attached to this post.

I think it's The Flying Pickets cover of Yazoo's 'Only You'. The video was set in a pub where the various members of the group are playing pool, darts, etc.
Hit No 1 in the UK. :thumb:

BAM! That's it!

Been looking for that song for such a long time. I got the MP3 and finally listened to it after 20 years of silence.

Thanks guys!!!
