Well that was unexpected. This isn't some weird mind game is it lol?

As far as vocals you said male. Can you narrow it down? Falsetto, baritone.. did the vocals have a big part or was it more instrumental?

No, I'm real! Just trying anything I can think of in the absence of hard core facts for the song. I'm certain that someone will nail it!:D

It has vocals throughout, especially the chorus lines. I believe that there is more than one vocalist in this song and the voices would be between falsetto and a baritone (unsure what that would be called) That song I just put up, the beginning is as close as I've heard yet to the beginning of my song. I did get another microphone and it's my computer that isn't picking it up that well, though both attempts were done with identicle pairs of ear buds.

Could it be a Boney M song?

Okay, now what's this? I saw the video come up and thought I was good to go. So what else did I need to do Grindy?

Okay Grindy, (big breath) here I go again....... :)

Everyone else, the bell notes I first mentioned are along the same octave as the beginning notes of this song........ I hope this helps jog a memory!

Well heck, I'm beginning to wonder if I heard this song in a dream! Something about Jim Beam that affects reality!

I've gone through every single song list (top 100) from 1970 through 1983, under the genres of disco, pop, funk, popular, etc etc. How disheartening.

Maybe I'll do a single of it and put it on the radio!:thumb:

I really do appreciate everyone's input. I'm still trying to unearth more info from my brain!:banghead:

Is it the Amityville Frenzy per chance?

I hate to say it, but that's not it either, but I so appreciate the suggestions you folks. Typically, I'm really good at figuring out what a song is, but this one has severely stumped me and it's so disheartening!
