Question
Hi,

This is probably a long shot but I have a memory of a song from early to mid 80s probably by a British band, male singer.  I think of the song as pretty dark--actually I think the song refers to it being night.  If I remember correctly the lyrics also refer to London and have to do with a man hearing shots and hearing about trouble with Buckingham palace.  The lyrics of "Scoundrel Days" by A-HA remind me of this song if that helps.

I've been trying to remember this song for years and just stumbled on this website.  Any clues to help me in my search would be great!

Regards,

Don  

Answer
Dear Don,

Man, I can't remember what the song you are talking. I have no idea. The closest I have is LONDON CALLING by THE CLASH. I could be wrong, though. Please mail the other experts, they may know the answer.

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.
