Got a bit of a song stuck in my head and cant fathom who its by
It goes something like jane likes freddy but freddy likes…. (and it's nothing to do with Rainbow! 🤣)
Thank you!!!!
Need to add some new verses for Donald ,Nigel, Bibi, Elon and the rest
Well as that was cleared up so quickly I have one I've been meaning to ask-
Video from what 20 years ago, played regularly on mtv or some such channel, the video was a fat guy dancing in the street, shirt off, I think he had a tie round his head, then at the end some neer do wells run off with his money and when he goes after them another one nicks his ghetto blaster. Anyone identify that or was it some kind of fever dream I had when the pills were wearing off
😳 I thought everyone knew Games Without Frontiers!
Its four years older than i am. About 60 percent of the uks population were born after its release.
Of you take the age of someone feasibly capable of hearing it and registering the it and the artist. About 10 say. Thats up to 70ish percent of the population out.
So 30per ent of the population alive today may have been exposed to it directly. The actual number who "know it" will be absolutely tiny.
I know the song, but i would never be able to list it* as a peter gabriel song without hearing it.

- Sledgehammer
- That one with Kate Bush
Wish I hadn’t opened this…. gonna get stuck in my head, my little brother loved it
Jeux sans frontières…. Jeux sans frontières….
I know the song, but i would never be able to list it*

- Sledgehammer
- That one with Kate Bush
Don't give up.
No, I mean that's what the Kate Bush one is called 😁
I don't believe that! Bloody years i've been googling for that and it takes you 16 minutes!
Scotroutes- officially better than Google!

Yep I’m in the 30% and first time I’ve heard it/of it was today and hmmm it’s no Sledgehammer 🙂
OK, last week I was trying to remember a song from the mid-80s (I was thinking at the time it was 1987) by a woman I seem to recall I thought was quite fit at the time (big hair!). I didn't think she had recorded any other hits. It wasn't Suzanne Vega, but I couldn't get her out of my head and didn't know why.
Thought at the time the song may have something to do with the face/mouth, or maybe had 'kiss' or 'mystical/mystery' in the title, but couldn't be certain (I didn't have much to go on).
It came to me in a flash. Can you get it from the above?
Who's in my head...?
No wait.
Samantha Fox - touch me (i want your body)

Nope. Unpick the 'Vega' thread, as I couldn't shake that name from my brain, but couldn't work out why...
I think she was also pretty much a one-hit wonder, over here anyway.
struggling a bit with the lyrics, so just trying to think of possible singers....
t'pau
tanita tikaram
martika
can you give us a bit more on the hair? blonde? dark? BIG curly?
and the type of song....pop? rock?
I put your description into Google Gemini AI and it found it straight away.I don't believe that! Bloody years i've been googling for that and it takes you 16 minutes!

Gemini Results
Here are the top candidates that match your clues (mid-80s, big hair, fit, one-hit wonder vibe, "Suzanne Vega" mind connection, and face/kiss/mystery themes):
1. Sabrina (Sabrina Salerno) – "Boys (Summertime Love)" (1987)
-
Why it fits: Huge 1987 hit, quintessential 80s "fit" pop icon with big hair, and largely a one-hit wonder in the UK/US.
-
The "Vega" connection: The name Sabrina sounds strikingly similar to Suzanne, which easily causes brain-scrambling when trying to recall a single name from 1987.
2. Lita Ford – "Kiss Me Deadly" (1988)
-
Why it fits: Has "Kiss" directly in the title, features massive 80s hair, and was her standout mainstream solo crossover hit.
3. Alannah Myles – "Black Velvet" (1989)
-
Why it fits: Big hair, very fit, and a classic late-80s one-hit wonder.
-
The "Vega" connection: "Velvet" shares a very similar phonetic rhythm and sound to "Vega".
4. Sam Brown – "Stop!" (1988)
-
Why it fits: Big, voluminous curly hair, striking look, and her signature massive UK hit from that exact window.
5. Tanita Tikaram – "Twist in My Sobriety" (1988)
-
Why it fits:
-
The "Vega" connection: In the late 80s music press and radio rotation, Tanita Tikaram and Suzanne Vega were constantly linked together and compared as the two leading deep-voiced, acoustic-led female alt-pop breakthrough artists of 1987–1988.
6. Eighth Wonder (Patsy Kensit) – "Cross My Heart" or "I'm Not Scared" (1988)
-
Why it fits: Classic 80s glam/big hair aesthetic with a heart/relationship theme.

Who's in my head...?
or thinking about the 'vega not vega' thing.... maybe a singer or song with 'v'.....
so black velvet alannah myles (fits the big hair criteria too), or maria vidal 'just one kiss' (fits the kiss criteria too).
EDIT: great minds typing at same time 🙂

Where on earth is the fun in this post.
I did think that, should have waited before posting.
QUICK EVERYONE, MANDATORY FUN TIME!
It's a difficult one. Ai is arguably killing conversation, but then we could say the same historically of search engines I guess.
Yet, some people seem to want this, LMGTFY exists. Just last week I was told off by someone on here for spitballing ideas rather than being an actual lawyer. I felt like directing them to the title "Chat Forum" but bit my tongue as I couldn't be arsed.
I suppose don't really see an issue with using Ai as a tool if the goal is to provide an answer (or at least, a wild guess at one). There's nothing to stop anyone from speculating as to whether creakingdoor is thinking of Carol Decker / Hazel O'Connor / Vickie Perks etc anyway.
