View Full Version : Does anyone remember this old song?
It is an English band, and my memory tells me it was late 70s maybe early 80s.
In the chorus it had:
Something I know, Something I know
Please dont tell me something I know
(cant remember)
You come for a day and you stay for a week.
And at the end of the verse they sing something like
"Much too long to wait for the perfect day"
I heard it for about 10 seconds last night and it is driving me batty!

Fischer Z "Perfect Day". Came out in 87 or 88. Great tune. Their only other hit in OZ was "So long" which came out in 1980.
I was thinking it sounded like Fischer Z but then I thought it wasnt 'cos I thought they onyl had the one hit, "So Long".
Thanks. Now we can all get some sleep!
" why didn't you tell me
not leave me this way
....you shoulda told me ..."

Yeah it was in 88 pretty catchy tune and fairly big hit (top 10) I remember the video as well when I"d get up early SAt mornings to watch rage, good times.

1988 wasn't a bad year for commercial music.

'88 was a great yoear for music. Also a great year to lie in the Italian sun for 2 months with nothing but baby oil. Great tan. Lifted the last skin C last year.
Somebody else did a remake of that song recently. Sounded good.
I was watching RetroMax on Foxtel's Ch 16 this arvo & I'm pretty sure 88 was featured. I watched a bit of it & thought, hmm bad year this.
To each their own i spose. I've never really got into that sort of music i guess.
