Help me name that song #2

[HannaYeah]

Inspired by other thread with hardly any detail.

I’m American. Was in Rome at an Irish pub with karaoke. An 80s pop song came on and all the British and Scottish people I was with knew every word. It was upbeat and I loved it. But I’d never heard it before. We are all the same age so I know all of the English music that was popular in the US in the 80s.

I’ll listen to anything you suggest here and see if that’s it.

Just listened to the Waterboys. So good! I only vaguely remember that one but glad to be reminded of it.

Tanita Tikaram - Good Tradition

I remembered something! When I asked who it was they told me a woman’s name.

Kylie minogue - spinning around
Sophie ellis bexter - murder on the dance floor

Gloria - Laura Branigan
Mona - Craig Mclachlan
Something by Texas

Kylie minogue - I should be so lucky
Kylie minogue - locomotion

Disclaimer - I'm not obsessed with kylie minogue just she was so big over here even though I know she's australian

The Locomotion was a remake of a 60s US hit by Little Eva.

Kayleigh by Marillion?

Just realised the SINGER was a woman's name, not the song title. What a moron.

99 red balloons - nena?

Sinitta - so macho?
Hazell Dean
Sonia - you'll never stop me from loving you
Sam Fox - touch me
Alison Moyet - all cried out
Kim Wilde- you came
Stevie Nicks - edge of seventeen

Annie Lennox
Kate Bush
Carole Decker/T'pau
Sheena Easton
Toyah

Yazoo - only you. May have just mentioned Alison Moyet?

Lulu - shout

This is very vague, OP. The 80s are a whole decade full of British female singers. What do you expect from us? Name every single song from that decade sung by a British female? This thread will be very long then.

Chrissie Hynde

Hazell Dean -

Just listened to Murder on the Dancefloor. It was not that but the crisp clear voice of Sophie Ellis Bextor sounded similar. Could be another song by her. Does she have older songs? Or it was someone with a similar sounding voice.

This was in 2016 that I heard it, but I still think the song itself was pretty old.

Groove jet by Sophie Ellis Bexter?
Or
I could be happy - Altered Images (Clare Grogan)?

Are u 100% it's a female singer.
Thinking of voices that are sort of crisp and clear.
Not Pet Shop Boys?

Sorry missed your post about it being a woman's name.

V early 90's
Groove is in The Heart, De lite

Love Shack by B-52s ?

Argh OP if it was that long ago are you sure you'll remember it if you hear it again?!

Gabrielle?
