i am trying to obtain melancholy rose thinking that could be it this song could be late 90's/early 90's and could be strictly pop but she said new wave and thank you so much for the response

Perhaps "I Beg Your Pardon" by Kon Kan? The time period (late 80s) and style (pop) are about right. The chorus (sampled from an oldies tune) goes
"Love shouldn't be so melancholy /
Come along and share the good times while we can"
"Love shouldn't be so melancholy /
Come along and share the good times while we can"

Fun fact: Lynn Anderson's '71 hit, "Rose Garden," was resung by a sound-alike -- not sampled -- on "I Beg Your Pardon." Same thing with "Puss 'N Boots" ("These Boots Are Made For Walking" was resung by a Nancy Sinatra sound-alike). It saved on licensing fees.

k. d. lang did a cover of "I Beg Your Pardon", and on this particular album ("Angel with a Lariat"), she had a rockabilly sound (most likely due in no small part to the producer, Dave Edmunds). Just thought I'd post this to add to the confusion. [:)]
