The 2000s were awful.

I dunno if ILXors have heard BMG's only other hit, the #39-charting 1985 single "Oh Girl": a mix of period Dan Hartman and what Scritti Politti was about to record. The beautifully fluttery chorus melody suggests wistfulness -- until you pay attention to the lyrics ("Oh, girl, I don't need you/I never want to see you/Do you understand?").

I remember this follow-up, didn't know it was them. It's a lot more AOR than I remembered, I probably would have guessed it was by Debarge from memory.

Oh, not a follow-up, a precursor.

Curious what Brad may think.

Song and video released in May 1985, a few months before Miami Vice's peak.
I didn't see its effect on fashion until spring 1986

I feel like every lyric from “Waiting For a Star to Fall” could be a song title from Anal Cunt’s Picnic of Love.

Oh, you held in your hand a diamondAnd left held it tightOh, you held in your hand our loveIt fell from the rightIn closing, I remind youDon't be callous with a heartLove is just one step behind youYou'll wait for it if you're smart

lol sorry I meant "Oh Girl."
But I've a strong memory of listening to Shadoe Stevens counting down the hits this week in December '88 just before Xmas as my parents and I wrapped presents on a Sunday night.
