Question
hi..happy holidays...you're one great 80s guru...i need help in the following:

1. im looking some info about the song that was used in the 7up(softdrink)commercial. This was when i was in my 2nd year in high school..so its kinda about 1986 - 1987..some of the lyrics goes like "you go your way i'll go mine sometimes we disagree, oh this foolish pride it's just inside, why do meet me halfway"...

2. what's this song and the singer....the lyrics goes "i still believe in us together, it's gonna be the way come what may"...

3. the title of this song is RHYTHM OF ROMANCE...its from the late 80s...i'm not quite sure but it's more likely a duet...

4. another commercial from the 80s...from SONY VHS...the commercial features a woman looking at the mannequin then at the latter part she joins the dancers and they dance with typical 80s attire...the background song is kinda upbeat and danceable..this was late 80s...and i just have no knowledge of the title and the singer...lol

Answer
Dear Vincent,

1. Sorry, I do not remember the TV commercial much less the song.

2. That's I STILL BELIEVE IN US TOGETHER by the HIYAS band fronted by noted musical producer REY MAGTOTO.

3. I wasn't sure about this one, there were two possible answers, it could be RONNIE LAWS (1987) or RANDY CRAWFORD (1991).

4. I don't remember it either.

Maraming salamat po!!
