Songs With O O O In It

Postby Sean » Tue May 10, 2005 10:31 am

To my recollection, there's a whole lot of New Wave songs that have "o o o" in it. For instance, here are two for starters:

Baltimora - Tarzan Boy (well you guys know)
After The Fire - Don't Turn Around (don't turn around o o o)

This is a pretty easy topic in the Italo Disco arena where this is common place but there quite a few New Wave songs with this too. Let's name them!

Fun topic! This of course will require a bit of research.....can't think of any off the top of my head. But I do want to say that I'm currently working on a compilation of songs that have "la, la, la" in them. This of course will be first and foremost giv
