been searching and searching all over the internet for this one. Okay, a clip
of the video is on that Entertainment Weekly commercial for the free 80's Wave
CDs. In the video, the guy is on stage at a concert and streamers are falling
down from the ceiling while he sings, "Whoa Oh Ohhhh Ohh Uh Ohhh Uh Ohhh" and
then it echos in the background...if someone would help I would appreciate it
so much! I've been looking for this song for the past 4 nights. Searched all
over Napster...nothing. Help me if you know this one please!

There's plenty like me to be found

Yeah, that could be it. But it could also maybe be "Tarzan Boy" by
Baltimora...

i gotta agree with rob
things can only get better - howard jones
ron

THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER

We're not scared to lose it all
Security throw through the wall
Future dreams we have to realize
A thousand sceptic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize

And do you feel scared - I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh

Treating today as though it was
The last, the final show
Get to sixty and feel no regret
It may take a little time
A lonely path, an uphill climb
Success or failure will not alter it

And do you feel
Wow wow wow oh...

And do you feel...

It sounds like 'Living on a Prayer' by Bon Jovi. I can post the lyrics if
that will help.

:) I grew up in the Washington, D.C. area and we used to go down to the
mall to watch the fireworks back when they had the Beach Boys (and
various other groups) perform every year. The year that song came out, it
was played while they set up the stage for the next band and I'll never
forget hearing thousands and thousands of people singing along with all
the 'woah's...

Although there is little chance that you’ll ever see my message here, and I must thank you anyway! For years, I was convinced there was an Elton John song that had a chorus featuring the lyrics, “Leon, Whoa-o-O-oh-oh-oh!”, but thanks to you I have finally found it! “Lido Shuffle” by Boz Scaggs. YES!!!!!

Thanks again, mate!

Springstein's "Thunder Road" has that very sequence of lyrics, but you'd recognize his very distinct singing voice, one would think. Let me know who the artist is when you find out, please?
Thanks, & Good Luck!
