Subject: Who sang this song?
I am trying to find out the name of the group/singer who did a song in the early eighties. It was a slower song and the title might be "Man on the Moon." I think some words were: "Babe, (echoes) I'm the loneliest man on the moon. Spending my nights with the meteorites, Ooh, Ooh."
Anybody know? Thanks.

Your "mystery song" is "The Loneliest Man on the Moon" by David Castle, a minor hit here in the U.S. in the Winter of '78. It was off his 1977 album, "Castle in the Sky" (which also produced another minor hit you may remember, "Ten to Eight"). Unfortunately, the album is long out-of-print, and has never been re-issued on CD here in the U.S...
