Talking Need to find the title of a song & who sang it ?

But I Haven't got much to go on.

It was a slow rock type song by someone like Joe Cocker - but I don't think it was Joe Cocker.

Half way trough it there's a pause then the vocalist sings I, I, I a few times then carries on.

From early eighties ish

Been bugging the office for three weeks and I've decided enough is enough and it's time for ScoobyPool to do it's stuff !

As my pal has just said "You Dancer - I knew it was called should have known better or something" (although he didn't tell me that )

We will have to find something else to confuse us now

Cheers

Jasey

We've got another one.

There was a lyric that went something like "I I I I Moosey, I I I I Moosey, Moosey, I, I"

What was that from ?

We think it might have been a Spandau Ballet type group.

"They" were Modern Romance when they did the moosey song (apparently) .

We'll try and think of a trickier question with less clues for next week .

Still - we've probably upped Modern Romance's Google ratings by 4,000 % .

Thanks for the original answer - it was really starting to get on our **** .

I would have told you "should have known better".

Sticks in my mind for two reasons.

One, in Bob Geldof's biography, the guy got number one with that abomination, and then apparently said on radio "I think everyone should go and buy the Band Aid single". Geldof appreciated what a sacrifice it was to ask to be knocked off No.1.

And two, because when he sang the word "be-e-e-tter", it always sounded like a sheep bleating to me.

God that track made my teeth grind.

Yes the only thing getting on our **** now is that we spent 3 weeks of "Jasey's Friday Afternoon Pop Quiz" trying to remember such a pile of $hite .
