Question
I am trying to find out the name and artist of an 80's song. The lyrics are I want to know what your thinking, tell me what's on your mind,is it something you can hide. Been on youtube,amazon, can't find song. Please help me find this song. Thank you
Dear Anthony,
It's by INFORMATION SOCIETY and the name of the song is WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND (PURE ENERGY). INFORMATION SOCIETY consists of KURT HARLAND, PAUL ROBB and JAMES CASSIDY. The song is famous for its sampling of lines from the popular TV series STAR TREK. At the beginning of the song, you can hear a line delivered by DR. McCOY (played by DeFORREST KELLEY) saying "It's worked so far but we're no out yet!". All throughout the song, a sample of MR. SPOCK (played by LEONARD NIMOY) can be heard saying "pure energy". WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND was lifted from the band's 1988 album INFORMATION SOCIETY and peaked at No. 3 on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart on October 22, 1988.
Maraming salamat po!!

Expertise
I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. 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
Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
