Subject: ID Obscure 80s Song
lease help ID this song. This should be a tough one since I don't have the lyrics clearly.
As far as I can remember, the song is sung by a male band, probably British. Throughout the song, there is a background chant that goes something like:
...somebody...somebody...somebody...somebody...
or it could've been
...nobody...nobody...nobody...nobody..
the verses have some words that sound like
Hey what's the news, hey what's the news... .......and [something] in a coolie coolie way...nobody...nobody...nobody...[etcetera].
This song used to be played on Flashback Weekends on KROQ in LA. It may possibly have been by the band, "James", but don't count on it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Barry
