Help my Polish friend identify an old song.

[FabricLiveBaby!]

He remembers listening to it at a party and was drunk/high.

It was about 10 years is ago and it was being played through a YouTube video.

He says it was maybe a 90s or 80s track (a little electronic but not electronica) with a lead man voice - singing. It was a bit sad.

He's pretty sure it was a big hit and describes it at "Typically" English.

The most important thing is that he remembers a little boy staring up at a TV screen, and the lyrics were something to do with a name... Johnny Tommy ...Sally.

And that's it.

Urban hive mind. Help us out - please.

Edit: he also says colours were quite monochrome, grayed out blues and greens ... Quite melodic in tune and poignant

[FabricLiveBaby!]

I think that's it... Lemme check. Looks ab.out right

Matthew? Hey hey Matthew what do you see?

Man. Hole in one! He is so greatful. Says he's been searching for 10 or more years and never found it.

Nearly cried when he saw it!

Really weird, I never particularly liked it. May have seen the video once when it came out. Funny things, memories.

Matthew? Hey hey Matthew what do you see?

Impressive

 

[danski]

Impressive

I really have no idea where that came from

 

[spitfire]

Well that was a journey.

 

[danski]

1987?

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

I've never heard it before in my life.

Wikipedia says it was a hit in Israel and East Germany.

I'm really impressed.

Can't say I particularly like the song.
"Hey, Matthew" shit/not shit?!!

Top 50 songs of all time

 

[DotCommunist]

not shit at all. Do a poll.

 

[Mattym]

More a publicity stunt!

It's my name, so I've always loved it!

Not sure if I should have put the word 'political' on the front of that?

 

[Silas Loom]

It's my name, so I've always loved it!

Is that how it’s meant to work? The Beatles wrote a song which I have always disliked about my middle name.

No strong feelings about Hey Matthew either way, but the drugs must have been quite good for it to have made such a strong impression on the OP’s chum.

 

[danski]

I FUCKING HATE DANIEL BY ELTON FUCKING JOHN

I'm not sure tbh, but it always made an impression on me for that very reason. It's quite a memorable/unique song tbh, don't think drugs come into it for me in this case.

 

[blossie33]

Ah yes....I remember that record now, I wouldn't have had any idea of the title or the artist - well done danski!!

I think it was mentioning that it was something to do with a name that aligned the planets…

That must suck, Lucy.

 

[danny la rouge]

Walrus?

 

[Silas Loom]

Walrus?

Much closer.

 

[spitfire]

My name is in the first line of this.

 

[danny la rouge]

Much closer.

Mr Kite?

 

[Silas Loom]

Mr Kite?

Eleanor, as it happens, since otherwise you will derail the Matthew thread.

 

[Voley]

Mr Kite?

Sexy Sadie

 

[ouirdeaux]

There are very few Beatles songs that have male names in the title, assuming that Silas is male and the name is conventional.

Jude or Maxwell. Rocky at a pinch.
