Subject: Help me name the '80's dance tune, please!
Written By: Michael on 05/12/04 at 1:13 am
So I'm looking for this song. . .
It kind of had a Front Line Assembly/Front 242/Art of Noise sound to it. . .
The chorus had a somewhat robotic (male) voice repeating the names of major cities like New York, London, Paris. Or maybe he just repeated New York, New York over and over again.
Any information would be most helpful. Thanks!

Mmmmmmmm. Just checked it out on Amazon. Unfortunately Pop Muzik isn't the track I was thinking of. It is more along the lines of Nitzer Ebb or Front 242, not M or Thomas Dolby. But thanks for the random guess.
Any other ideas out there?

I was thinking Pop Muzik too...for the part where he says (sort of robotically)
"New york london paris munich
Everybody talk about...pop muzik"

So, it was a "harder" sound than Pop Muzik, eh?

I know what it is! It's "New York" by The Mircro Chip League. Came out in the late 80's and I remember dancing to it at the clubs back then. Great tune!!! 8)

Well. . .I couldn't find any band called "The Micro Chip League" anywhere on the Internet, including allmusic.com. And it isn't B.A.D. I guess the search still continues!!!
Thanks all for your guesses. Anymore ideas???

I'm still convinced the song you're looking for IS the song by The Micro Chip League. I was also searching for this song a few years back and was able to find it only by downloading the MP3. Here's a link RE: Micro Chip League...

I know what you're talking about...but I can't find it
I am almost sure it's by 'Skinny Puppy'
it has a lot of keyboards on it too, right?

CeramicsFanatic is the bomb! ;D :D I tracked down New York by the MCL on soulseek.com. Sure enough, it's the darn song! Thanks for the help. Maybe one day I can repay the favor.
Here's to the joy of music.
Cheers. . .Michael
