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.
Education/Credentials Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications Major in Broadcast
I just recently found this site and it's full of information about the 80's my favorite music era. Anyway I can't remember the title, artist and even lyrics of this 80's hit it goes a little something like '1968 (or 19-6-28) tell me what you see/say, baby please for give me one last time' the lyrics is very raw and might not even be correct.
Thanks in advance.

Answer Dear Sheldon,
The song is a favorite to be asked here, this probably is the nth time.
SIX, TWO, EIGHT it is called and was sung by a group called EUROPE, but not to be mistaken with the rock group of the same name who did THE FINAL COUNTDOWN, although they sound similar. It was released in 1986 and was a monster hit here. This EUROPE doesn't have much information unlike their namesake. GIVE ME ONE NIGHT was their only other hit. If you like an mp3 copy, don't hesitate to mail me your e-mail address so I can send one to you. My e-mail address is bong_santos_jbl11@yahoo.com
Here's its lyrics:
SIX, TWO, EIGHT / EUROPE
I go ‘round, people say, for some action
I go ‘round, people wonder why
Summer nights, people won’t tell the action
Summer nights when the sun goes down.
Refrain:
People say, people do
People look out, burn my heart
Spreading ‘round big situations over town
(Tell me).
Chorus:
Ninety-six, two, eight
Tell me (what/to) say
Baby, please don’t leave me one more time
Ninety-six, two, eight
Tell me it’s too late
You are the greatest lover of my life.
Ninety, ninety,
Tel me, ninety
Tell me, ninety.
(Repeat)
Nine-nine-nine-nine
Nine-nine-nine-nine
Nine-nine-nine
Tell me, tell me (tell me).
I go ‘round, people say, for some action
I go round, people shinin’ down
No reply, nothing fine, no distraction
I do wrong, people ridin’ around.
Refrain:
All the time, all the guys
Sought impressions on my star
Till we fight, admit my vision in your heart.
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Am longing for your love
This thought of face to face
So ninety-six, two, eight.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat 1st 4 lines of Chorus)
