  - Google-fu, black belt that guy -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:37
- Well, I simply did not know this song, and you know why.. ? I'm simply too young. It's 1982, so early eighties, not late.. I don't really hear samba.. -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:25 2
  - I guessed it was late 80s from first hearing it sometimes in 90-92. Today was the first time I’d heard it again since. -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 17:40 1
    - I'm a bit of an 80s music and pop culture afficionado, but... And anyway, before 1984 is mostly too early for me. - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:46
- Yes! You got it. Thankuuuu! +80 Qale Points. -- nm* - Qale Aug 2, 17:23 6
  - I got this link instead... Btw, mmight I interest you in some Was Not Was singles.. ? (opens grey trench coat) -- (link) - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:30
  - I literally googled “boy meets girl love is on the way 80s samba” and Reddit answered it. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Aug 2, 17:24 4
    - Reddit no longer shows in my searches on Bing. -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 17:39
    - LOL! - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:26
    - I guess that ransom money google is spending is worth it -- nm - Beryllium Aug 2, 17:25 1
      - Indeed. Right you are Ken. -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 17:39

- I grew up on Kid Creole & His Coconuts, amongst other music - my dad owned a tape of theirs. But this is 1985 and Manhattan club vibes - not samba? -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:23 2
  - I knew of them from their appearance on SNL and they played Expo 86 in Vancouver. Great live show. -- nm - gort Aug 2, 17:30 1
    - Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy has the cheekiest lyrics.. -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:33
- No. But I do like that silliness. -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 17:22
Male/female vocal? Any accents.. ? (British/Canadian/US etc?) -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:16
Surely not "Waiting for a Star to Fall"? How samba-like and do you remember any precise lyrical snippets.. ? -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:16 4
- Very samba, but also so obviously 80s with a sax and percussion hit several times after that line. Male vocals. -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 17:18 3
  - Sounds like maybe Chris Rea? British guy -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:22 2
    - Volneck got it and yes turns out British. -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 17:24 1
      - It's quite bass driven. Somewhat typical for the time. Early Human League and Wham! sounded similar. Also, Kajagoogoo. -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:34
