I dont even remember if its an 80s song, but im willing to say it was a one hit wonder. I dont even know the title or who sings it, but the main main chorus all I can remember is them singing Why Can't Be something... It sorta sounds like Surface or something like that. Any help with this little info would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, with clues like that this should have been solved several times over! :lol:

Why Can't This Be Love - Van Halen (Hagar)
Why Can't We Be Friends - War

C'mon, everybody. Just throw something out there! You could be right!

The cure? Why can't I be you?

Neither of those, The lyrics are something like.. Why Can't We Be In Love or something with love.. and I think they say, Its True in there somewhere. Like I said, it sounds like a boy band kind of like Surface or some soul boy group. I could be wrong. :hissy: I wanna find out so bad..

Spandau Ballet "True" ?

So it's definitely guys singing it?

Is there anything else in it that might distinguish it, like was there harmonica or speaking or something else unusual?

No, not True from Spandau Ballet, that is one of my favorite songs BTW, this is sounds like a black guy or group singing, I could be so wrong. Its like Why Cant We Be In Love.. with a souful melody,... then I swear they say Its True, or So True.. or something like that!! :tbomb:

Have you tried a lyrics search on the Web? Sometimes, you will be surprised by what you can dig up.

The more details you think of about this song, the more it will help.

Think of stuff like:

What's the genre? (pop, rock, etc)
Lots of one kind of instrument?
Slow song or fast song?
stuff like that, keep thinking about it and post stuff as you think of it

It is a slow pop song.

Don't know this band, but here's lyrics for Amerie's "Why Don't We Fall In Love": http://www.mp3lyrics.org/a/amerie/why-dont-we-fall-in-love/

Don't know this one,either: http://music.yahoo.com/Phyllis-Hyman/Cant-We-Fall-In-Love-Again/lyrics/27759464

Don't know if Dan Hill's voice is 'soulful', I guess. His song is a duet, "Can't We Try" with Vonda Shepard. You can watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAeIOhGfZV0

Sorry, none of them are it either. I think I should just give up. Its almost impossible to figure out without hearing more of it, or coming up with more lyrics.. which I can't right now!

Thanks again..
