I keep trying to describe it to my husband but he has no idea - there are no lyrics, we did a dance to it in school in the early 1990s but it's got quite an electric 1980s feel. It's quite spacey sounding (a little like pink Floyd) and ideas anyone?? I've never had to search for something with no lyrics to go by!!!

Sorry, just reread and saw that the piece you are searching for doesn't have lyrics.

Something from Blade Runner?

Could it be something by Jean -Michel Jarre? Electronic tunes some with a spacey sound. Can't think of any specific tunes other than Oxygene?

JoesExotic · 26/04/2020 17:38

Or, The First The Last Eternity by Snap?

I’m sure it’s that! We also had to dance to it at school in the 80s. 😂

I just googled and it’s by Jeff Wayne

As soon as I read your description I was right back in the gym hall...

GlennRheeismyfavourite · 26/04/2020 17:49

I loved a bit of dance at school in my moontide leotard - must have looked like such a wally!!

We definitely did a dance to the war of the worlds music - but I knew what that was. My sister almost wet herself this after with me trying to hum it to her!

Now we know what it is your description makes total sense OP Grin

GlennRheeismyfavourite · 26/04/2020 17:51

Right better go and help with dinner - I've rather left my poor husband to it over the last two hours during my search for the elusive track!!

OMG! I think that's my first mumsnet supersleuthing success. So glad I replied. My dad loved Jean-Michel Jarre, spent many a Sunday dinner with that in the background 😂

Charley50 · 26/04/2020 18:02

Well done @R00tat00tt00t - i would be so fucking happy if I was the one who found the song, and so quickly too, I'd probably put it on my CV.

I never got the song and I know all the songs.

Charley50 · 26/04/2020 18:04

Get the song, not got the song.

R00tat00tt00t · 26/04/2020 19:58

@*Charley50 😊😂
