Question
QUESTION: Hi Bong,   I'm looking for 2 songs and maybe you can help me. The first is called "Cardiac Arrest". I don't know the artists name but I do remember it was a female. The lyrics are something like this "You give me goosebumps, my heart thumps"
The other is a dance song called "Hands up to the sky" by  a female group, and the lyrics are "Queens are freaking, whores are creeping"
That's all I know. Thanks for any help you can give.

ANSWER: Dear Angela,

I'm not pretty sure of the answers. The lyrics you gave don't match any of mine on my data bank.

Somehow, I thought the first song would be CARDIAC ARREST by PHOEBE SNOW from her 1989 album SOMETHING REAL. I don't have any idea about the second song.

I'll try to research more about it and I'll repost if I find anything of help. Or our readers would know and provide a much clearer picture. Let's hope.

Maraming salamat po!!

QUESTION: Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  The Cardiac Arrest I'm looking for is definitely not by Pheobe Snow. I'm looking for a dance song that was out in the early 80's. Also the other song may be by a group called "Divas", and was a high energy dance song.I'm not sure about the exact year. It's really been driving me crazy looking for these two, and I really appreciate your help.

Answer
Dear Angela,

I'm still on the lookout for the first song

As to the DIVAS song, you are right, it was sung by DIVAS and the title is STAND UP. Info about the song or the artist is unavailable however.

Here its lyrics:

STAND UP / DIVAS

Throw your hands in the air!

Everybody rise,
Gonna put your hands in together tonight
People getting loose ya'll
Let the tribe give you the juice

I'm talking about bodies movin, not stop groovin
Asses shakin, floors are breakin
Queens are freakin, he's are creepin,
Divas flowing, everybody knows to�

Stand up throw your hands to the sky
Stand up, wo wo, you got to stand up

Stand up throw your hands to the sky
Stand up, wo wo, you got to stand up

Stand up put your hands up high
Stand up put your hands up high

Be free, leave your troubles behind,
Just this the vibe rock in your mind
It's a better trip than ecstasy, so won't you get with me

I wanna take you to
Some bodies movin, not stop groovin
Asses shakin, floors are breakin
Queens are freakin, he's are creepin,
Divas flowing, i got to know how

Maraming salamat po!!
