JohnRogers Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Dang man, I used apps, Google and shit but I can't find it. It's some punk/new wave pub song shit. Some band like The Alarm but not The Alarm. Probably used in in some TV beer commercial. Some lyrics: here's to you, here's to the...I don't know union docker workers or something. Fvck man, what it is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 You keep making threads like this, Jackie, and the rest of gen pop won't want you to venture out of SOCN anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 For some reason, I get them mixed up with The Call. They sound similar to U2, Big Country and Simple Minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Well, the chances of finding a song that nobody has heard of by a band that nobody knows... tsssk. A tough task. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Just for the record, I knew what it was right away! It may be a bit obscure, but I love this song. I literally, not kidding, listen to this song every day, usually early on. Great message. Good pick, man! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Contrary to what IbanezJem says about The Call, I actually saw them in concert at the University of Maryland back in 1989, and they played Let The Day Begin. It was a very good show in a medium sized ballroom in the student union. The show was general admission, and my friend and I were standing just a couple of rows from the stage. Again, really good performance, and for having never heard of the band before, I've never forgotten seeing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that they never got a single into the UK Top 40 and were active only in the late 80s... I did listen to chart music back then as a young teenager, but they never got to the radio over here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The Call is maybe the most underrated new wave group of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream & vapour Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The Call enjoyed some respectable airtime on the good ol' AOR station in my neck of the woods back in the day. 'Everywhere I Go' and 'I Still Believe' reside on my workout iPod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I will always remember listening to a classic rock station one particular day. The DJ was taking live requests on the air. No lie.....the DJ took a call from some dim-sounding guy who only said, "Hey, could you play that song where he's singing to that girl...." There was a pause....(I imagined the DJ doing a huge facepalm)......and then the DJ replied, "Who is 'he' ? What girl? What are you talking about?" The caller couldn't provide any more information.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The groove in that song did sound a little familiar. I've definitely heard it a few times before. But not enough to tell anyone the name of the band or the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The lead singer's son was a member of the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and they did a cover of "Let The Day Begin" that's cool in its own way, but a bit too downbeat to match the energy and spirit of the original. RIP to that lead singer, btw . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't get away from Let The Day Begin at the time. But the preceding album with I Still Believe is the better album 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
