Question
I hope that I am giving you the correct information....I am looking for a song entitled "STOP" by the group WATCH.....

I believe it was in the 80's and it was a fast dance track.  It was used in aerobic classes and played on the radio all the time back then.

I hope you can help

Answer
Dear Victoria,

STOP has been used numerous times as title of a song throughout the rock era. In the 80s alone, at least 16 songs were released with STOP as title. Unfortunately, I never found one STOP song sung by any group called WATCH. I believed you got the wrong title or group. But I thought, it makes some sense, STOP by WATCH, STOPWATCH. I hope you can give me more infos. Anyway, here are some 80s songs called STOP:

1) CHESTERFIELD RINGS (1985)
2) DEATH ANGEL (1989)
3) DEJA VOODOO (1984)
4) DON LANPHERE (1983-Jazz)
5) FLO & EDDIE (1981)
6) LONNIE MACK (1985-Blues)
7) NINA SIMONE (1982-Vocal Music)
8) PLASMATICS (1982)
9) PRIVATE LIVES (1981)
10)RAHMLEE MICHAEL DAVIS (1985-Jazz)
11)SAM BROWN (1988)
12)SCHLOCK ROCK (1988)
13)THE SPOONS (1983)
14)STOP! - EQUINOX (1989)
15)STOP! - ERASURE (1988)
