apparently this has been floating around new wave forums for 4 years... no one has been able to identify the song yet. just wondered whether anyone here would be able to...

The youtube link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71e_R5nR7FU where you can hear the song.
if you have the patience to read some of the song-identification saga which is on a new wave forum, there's http://nwoutpost.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=324

it was recorded off a german radio station in '84 or '86, and has been tentatively called "Stay (The Second Time Around)", but there is no proof that that's its title.

it's unlikely that it's someone mainstream, and the following possibilities have been ruled out: Modern Vision, Romance at Eleven, Aldo Nova, The Blue Nile, Grace Pool, Lions and Ghosts, Stone Fury, Andre Cymone, Cham CM, Ghost, The Controllers, Canton, The Tiny, Skope, Tonio K, Tiger Lou, The Dream Team, Sa-ra, Aebersold, Jacobites, Saturn V, Quadrajets, Solveig Slettahjell, Drop Nineteens, Andres Calamaro, First Affair, Ian Lodge, Marx & Spencer, Dan Byrd, Lost Patrol, Ken Roland, Curious Figures, Jeb Million, Shalamar,Blue Cheer, Rickie Lee Jones, Morten Harket, Dollar, Mike Cannon, Manteca, The Saints, The Dream Team, Fire Fly, Melvin James, and Jet.

just wondered whether anyone here would know...?
 
i don't know too, but this whole thing here strikes a chord. over the years, i've spent many a time chasing and searching for a pop or new wave song from the 80s.

it would be interesting if somebody actually tries to do a remake/reconstruction of it. that would probably generate more dialogue (and maybe a couple of flames)
