HI I'm new here.  How are ya?  OK here it is.. 1st I realize this is impossible but I am looking for anyone who can help me.  My 1st love just found me and we would really like to remember what our song is.. now if you ask what the lyrics are.. we are stumped.  The name of the song.. nope.  The singer.. sorry. What I can tell you is it came out around 1986 and it was a male singer. Now I know it was remade a few years back by a female singer maybe around 2004- 2005(?).  The lyrics had to be changed for the female singer, example: original had "she" - remake had "he" and then "her" to "him".. and it wasn't in any of the top 10 lists.. thats all I have.  Any help would be great, where to look, websites I haven't found.. anything.  :D

Thank you,
Luv

can you remember if it was fast or slow? pop or R&B? American or from some other country?

it was a slow song.. pop

it was a slow song.. pop
 

sorry and American

that's fine... I'm no help but whistledog, claybricks, henk or someone might see this and they are the music whizzes of this board so good luck. and welcome to the boards.

Thank you! Well maybe they can figure it out. Its driving me crazy! I can't sleep all I do is think about this silly song.  :o

My first thought is "Bringing On The Heartbreak", originally by Def Leppard, covered by Mariah Carey in 2002. Slow, but doesn't have the "she/he" changes.

Second thought is "You Shook Me All Night Long", originally by AC/DC, covered by Celion Dion and Anastasia at VH1 Divas 2002. Faster, but has the pronoun changes.

Both of the originals are early 80s, but were re-released ~1986.

I'm a rebel  :P  :D

I dont' think it was a band that did this song, I think it was just a male singer like Gregory Abbott..  I know those songs all too well. 

Its ok to tell me that I'll never find it. lol  ;D

Ah, now we're getting somewhere!

The "juke box song" would be "I Love Rock 'n' Roll". That's helpful. :)

Then the song you're looking for must be "My Prerogative".

there's something I didn't know... the rod stewart part.

ok you all are tryin so hard, I can not tell you what that means to me.  But so far all of those aren't it.  Britney's "My Prerogative" was ok, I prefer Bobby's.

There was also Cat Stevens (who wrote it) in 1967, P.P. Arnold (1967), Keith Hampshire (1973), Rod Stewart (1977) and Sheryl Crow (2003).

No, definitely a female singer swapping he to she.  Madonna/Britney Spears someone like that  :-\\

According to Wikopedia, it appears that DJ Sammy (with vocals by a Dutch singer named Loona) performed a cover version in '02 (around the same time they messed up Bryan Adams' "Heaven"). Could this be it?
