Super long shot here. I could barely hear this 80's New Wave track over the crowd around me. Would *love* to spin it 10 more times if I can find it!

I was pretty sure the closing refrain, female vocalist, was "keep him for me" (keeping for me?), which kept repeating, but I'm not turning up anything doing similar lyrics searches. I tried tapping the notes out on a piano, maybe something a little like this (but faster)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOW7s8oea7w

Overall slowish/softish, maybe like "Voices Carry" (Til Tuesday) especially toward the end with the layered vocals over the slow/grinding/meandering background instruments, or maybe the first half of "Heart & Soul" by T'Pau with similar/layered vocals....

Almost nothing to go on here, any chance it rings any bells?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me send you a small gift card!!! (coffee, cash, ... anything)

It was over a year ago that I could barely hear a note of it in a packed club here in Austin, ... couldn't place a thing, but knew that I knew it.

I first heard that track 30 years ago in a club in San Fran ("south of market"/soma district, just in town for an academic conference). Loud and clear, but no phone to look it up. The bartender told me the band, and I picked up a couple of their discs, that gradually slid off the playlist and out of my head .. but apparently, not completely.

Sorry I did not see your reply sooner rewind. Absolute *thrill*. Serious biz, ***PLEASE*** let me send something your way. I'll never forget this!

THANK YOU!!!

Mike
