Expert: William Horton Date: 8/1/2008 Subject: instrumental song sent to wrong station becomes hit
Question I have this old song stuck in my head. All I can remember about it is that I heard it on the raido all the time when I was a young girl. It would have been late 70's early 80's. I remember the story saying that the 45 record was delivered to the wrong raido station, and the dj played it anyways because he liked it.. making it an accidental pop hit. There are no lyrics. Any clues?
Answer That reminds me of a one-hit-wonder song that was not supose to be released for the US market. However, the song in question wasnt released until the mid 80's. If this isnt possible, then I cant place the song. The song I have in mind is a techno -pop song by a band that came as quickly as it went back into obscurity.
Please let me know if you can remember the beat at all ?
I would like to solve this for you
Thanks
William
