Question
I am looking for an 80s song, probably in the style of the Flirts, Banannarama, etc.  This song had a very distinctive cuckoo clock sound at the start of the song.  Its title may have had something to do with 'a night show'.  One lyric began with 'Sunday morning comes'. . .
Any ideas?

Answer
Dear Steve,

I can't think of another song that got a cuckoo clock sound at the start of the song than SWISS BOY by LOU SERN. This song is a European hit back in 1986 and was a big hit here in the Philippines. Search has returned negative information about the artist. Here's how it goes:

SWISS BOY / LOU SERN

Time is ticking and there's nothing I can do
My heart is aching and my love is all for you
Fighting time isn't the right situation
Bite your mind now my heart is broken
I can't find my way
Now I'm kicking 'cause I'm think I'm losing you
I feel like bitching but I'm always nice to you
He knows the way using his infatuation
Every day spending all his money
Just to make you stay
Swiss boy, you're in love with a Swiss boy
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Swiss boy, spend your time with a Swiss boy
You don't know what I'm going through
Cuckoo clocks are the best things he can do
When he talks he can yodel like Swiss do
Took his time changing the old situation
You're not mine now I've really lost you
I can only pray

Maraming salamat po!
