Subject: WHAT'S THIS SONG?

Written By: Bryan on 08/30/02 at 08:10 p.m.

I keep hearing this song in a commercial on TV.  This balding guy says he'd really like to have his hair back like when he was young and we cut to a shot of him with this blond hair all wavey and sculpted and looking ridiculous.

Obviously the singer of this 1980s nand/song had wild blond hair in a ridiculous scupture look on top of his head.

The lyrics are "...meeting a girl like you-ou-ou!  Meeting a girl like you-ou-ou!..." and it's a catchy chorus.

WHAT'S THIS SONG!?

Never seen the commercial but from what you say about the song and the singer with weird hair it sounds like "I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock Of Seagulls.

Yep, that's it.

Thanks Chris.  Now I can rest my brain from frustration!

And I saw a picture of the singer. What the hell was he thinking!?
