The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then I do now"

Hint Irish group

[yorkcountykid]

u2--no clue

[Munra!]

"She says hello, you fool, I love you!"

Too damn easy.

[yorkcountykid]

questions are only easy when you know the answers. i have no clue.

[Munra!]

Hint: Swedish pop duo.

[yorkcountykid]

i only know of abba from that region and i'm not going to google (cheat)

[Munra!]

They became famous in the late 80's with the hit "The Look", remember? That cool song "Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer she's a juvenile scam. Never was a quitter, tasty like a raindrop...She's got the look!"

[Sam]

Is killing me not to just google it. If you weren't giving the Swedish clues i would say Shiela E.

[Munra!]

Haha, Sheila E.

"and she goes na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na... " Still no clue? God.

[Sam]

Was a lyric to that song 'her body's hetroslammin'? Never quite understood what that meant. Then again, i was on the short bus with those who sang 'another one rides the bus' really loud.

[Munra!]

it's Roxette guys. =/

[Sam]

oh yeah [:I]

[yorkcountykid]

never heard of roxette

[Munra!]

And the Wiki says:

"Roxette is a Swedish pop-music double act, sometimes rock-influenced, whose members are Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle.

For a significant period in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Roxette was among the top bands in worldwide sales and fame, brandishing a simple, effective blend of pop with a slight edge and occasional hints of dance. The group claims such influences as The Beatles, Blondie, new-wave music, Joni Mitchell, and Aretha Franklin...

...ABBA did have some Billboard Top 10 singles and one No. 1 in the 1970s. Even though Roxette couldn't ultimately leave behind the same legacy, the group did outperform ABBA on the singles chart, achieving four No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1989 and 1991. Roxette also had two No. 2 singles and a few other Top 40 peaks until falling out of sight of the Hot 100 in 1994. Even so, by that token, Roxette can be considered a highly successful singles act. The group has been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with two platinum albums - 1988's Look Sharp! (released in the U.S. in 1989) and 1991's Joyride - and two gold singles - "The Look" and "It Must Have Been Love.""

[Munra!]

Anyway, the song name is Joyride.

[yorkcountykid]

i dig my toes into the sand...

[yorkcountykid]

very famous or infamous group.

[wassanasong]

Never heard of Roxette either but heard of a pornstar named Roxetta...a Hilary Swank lookalike if you like Hilary Swank that is.

[yorkcountykid]

Didn't know they were so successful with all those singles. What a duo. Accomplished so much with such bad hair.

[M Grenade]

I remember Roxette, they were huge for awhile.

[yorkcountykid]

i think i would have to know their songs if i heard one now

[Sam]

If the hair didn't completely confuse you and make you block them out!

[M Grenade]

ok here is my Name that Tune
this one is actually mid 80's, but the singer has the same hair so it came to my mind

here are the lyrics:

Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
to tear him away-ay-ay
when I tell him that I'm falling in love
why does he say-ay-ay
hush hush
keep it down now
