Who knows these 3 songs?

Postby Talby » Tue Mar 01, 2005 6:09 am

Hi everybody!

I'm looking for titles and artists of three songs of the late eighties. I hope somebody can tell me more...

1.) The refrain is 'Take a walk on the rainbo-how', sang by male vocals and was probably released in 1987/88. It sounds similar to Xymox at that time.

2.) Another song is probably named 'slipping away' (male vocals again). I don't know anything about the lyrics, except that at the end of the refrain some backing vocals repeat 'slipping - slipping - slipping away!'. The refrain is really remarkable and melodic! I'd also say this song is released 1988. It sounds quite similar to IQ or the Silencers.

3.) The refrain of the 3rd song is 'Our love' (it's not the one of 'The Outfield'). Male vocals, sounds bombastic, reminding to Rick Springfields 'Dance this world away'. This unknown song is also released in the late eighties.

All these songs are a little bit Independent styled. They were minor airplay hits of our local radion station (ffn), but no chart hits.

Your help would be very, very, very appreciated ;-)

Looking forward

Talby

Talby:

Although it doesn't fit your description perfectly, try Slipaway by Les Enfants.

I couldn't find a sample of Les Enfants - Slipaway to listen to. Do you know one? Thanks.

Thanks. It's a great song, but unfortunately not the one I'm looking for.

Any chance "Slipping Away" might really be "Spinning Away" by Eno and John Cale?

Hi,

it's not Brian Eno ...

It seems to be quite tricky :-)

Is there anyone to have an idea?

I described the refrain of song 2 - "Slipping Away" to be remarkable. It sounds like this:
<pre>
hu-
Slipping awaaayyyy! ... hu- hu- (quite fast, sounds like 'who')
hu- hu- hu- hu.
hu- hu- hu- hu-
hu- hu-
huuuuu-

</pre>

Hi,

I found the lyrics of "Supergirl" by Miss Papaya and I think it's not the song I'm looking for.
