song from 1983 or 1982 is haunting me

song from 1983 or 1982 is haunting me

Postby LLQ2 » Tue Aug 31, 2010 12:30 pm

I heard this song on the Quake (KQAK) in either 1983 or 1982... It sounds a bit like Wham or the Stray Cats (in my head, anyway!) and I can only remember snippets of the lyrics:
possibly something about "skipping school"
"stiletto heels"
and this line: "It surprised me when she said Let's spend the day in bed"

I have been to several 80s forums to no avail... HELP!!! This is driving me crazy!!

It's probably this:

<object width="500" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GrIVgO3lVdU?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GrIVgO3lVdU?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"></embed></object>

Though the correct spelling is Roman Holliday.

For future reference, this is clearly the first forum you should start with. [8D]

"Wham or the Stray Cats" is a hilariously dead-on description BTW.
