"The Picture" by Hubert KaH. I love pretty girls and I always have the wandering eye but 9 out of 10 times I will deny ever doing anything wrong. :)

The chorus of the song goes:

"When she took a look in my eyes
she saw a picture of you
maybe you

I don't know that one. Can you sing a few bars for me? It sounds like I heard it but I can't remember.

ooh I gotta say GO! by Tones on Tail for me.

I'll second Thomas Dolby, but it was always and will always be "Europa and the Pirate Twins"

I still get a little misty when I hear the Dead Milkmen...

Rio - Duran Duran

That's basically the key song that tends to stick out in my mind from that era. It wasn't necessarily at the beginning or the tail end of the new wave era - but it was surely a key track. It was just new wave in it's most basic form

I may be going a bit overboard... if only one is truly allowed it is probably the Furs with the "Angst in My Pants" as a close runner up:

Why Kill Time (When You Can Kill Yourself) - Cabaret Voltaire
Angst in My Pants - Sparks
Highwire Days - Psyched

Christsmasher- once again we agree! Europa is such a great song. Sort of a sad tale too. I love that album. Wind power was great too. It's always a pleasure.[:D]
