AboutBong Santos Expertise I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artists infos, Hot 100 positions, albums, etc. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.
Experience I used to work in an FM station here in the Philippines and my program slot used to cater on 80's music alone.

Question i was just wondering if you happen to know this 80's song with a line that goes, " ooh la lovely day, time for holiday.." 'twas a pop song & the singer was a girl. if i'm not mistaken, it was even used by negosyete (a television show of gma 7 which featured livelihood programs) as their background tune, that was with out the lyrics though. only the rythm. Hope you can help get the title of this track & its artist name as well.
Answer Dear Les,
Looking through my songbooks for the year 1986-87, I found out that you were looking for the song O LA LA by FINZY KONTINI, the same Italo disco group who gave us CHA CHA CHA. It was off their 1986 album called CHA CHA CHA. Here's how it goes:
O LA LA / FINZY KONTINI
Good evening
Why don't you dance?
Strolling down at Bulink
(I got music in my mind / Oh, they notice in a glance)
An int'resting beat is (taking over all mankind / making
everybody dance)
Keeps on repeating and (burnin' / drivin') in my head
And I believe in all messages I read.
Maybe the solution's everytime I hit the floor
How can I refuse temptation knockin' at my door?
Driving me crazy, I'm ready to explode
Becoming lazy, my body needs reload.
Chorus:
O la la, they say
Time for a holiday
O la la tonight
You're my appetite.
(Instrumental)
(Repeat 1st stanza)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Instrumental)
(Bo de bo, um um...)
(O la la...)
(I like it so).
(Repeat 1st stanza)
(Repeat Chorus to fade)
