need help with songs

Postby djsoss » Thu Oct 14, 2004 2:46 pm

there is two songs i need help with, the problem is that they ever hardly play them anymore, i haven't heard them in about more than 20 years and i don't realy remember any of the lyrics only a few. the first song was done by a girl who kinda talked like a valley girl. the song was about sweaters or a sweater . she discribed diffrent types of sweaters and thats all i remember. the second song is kinda hard to. this song was by a guy, or group. he sounded kinda like the pet shop boys. all the lyrics i remember is that they say, " tell me whyyyy, tell me whyyyy.... it was kinda like a uppy synth pop song. please help.[8D]
