    25 pt giveaway...

    25 pts for anyone who can tell me the new wave band and song that has this as the chorus? I've been searching for a year now with no luck. If it's the right band then you get the points. 80's of course.

    "WHOA OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH"

    EDIT: Since it may be a tougher task, I will raise it to 33 points instead.

    Right Stuff by New Kids on the Block? This song was inescapable when I was in the 5th grade and it made me want to kill people.

    Heard it once or twice in my life an became enamored by it. Unfortunately it was over the loudspeaker at a Grocery store so I couldn't pick out anything 'cept the "Whoa oh oh..." But right before that the singer had a falsetto voice. Just give me your best shot.

    If you actually sing "WHOA OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH" it doesn't have any rhythm to it at all but since you mention 80s and new wave Erasure comes to mind. Maybe "Love to Hate You"?

    NO, that's a funk band. I'm looking for a 80's New Wave band most likely white singer.

    Love the group but not it. If I can post a recording of my voice you can tell it has rhythm. Writing it down is different.

    If you are referring to What is Love then not it. But I can't rule out the artist yet because he fits the common mold of 80's New Wave White singer with customary falsetto voice. Keep trying, I think I will too on my end.

    I would say just like any other one hit wonder that goes viral then you don't hear from them again, I would guess. But yeah major MTV airtime I would guess back in the day.

    Ding ding ding ding ding! Howard Jones - Things Can Only Get Better

    33pts goes to Seahawkharry. Thanks for your efforts guys! 3 pts each for effort for the rest other posters who tried.

    It was before my time but I am an 80's New Wave nut: The Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen, Blondie, OMD, Joy Division, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, etc.

    For some reason, I can't reward any of you guys points. I'll try tomorrow.
