song driving me mad!

[lizw]

This is driving me mad - I have a pop song in my mind I know the tune but can't get the song and only know a few lyrics!

The song seems to be about America and the chorus goes something mad like toora loora toora la AY! Toora loora toora USA .....In America....

and I think the words 'all this peace and understanding' come into it at some point.

Song would be about 10 - 15 years old?

If anyone can get this they deserve a medal!

You are fantastic! Thank you so much - I remember it now. I will SO impress my husband tonight when I get in - he was insisting it was Howard Jones! God knows why!

Wow - had almost forgotten Red Box! Their (only?) album was a masterpiece - it's in my loft somewhere. "Deviate to contemplate this audiovisual opiate" if I remember rightly. Other highlights were the other single Lean On Me (I think) and Saskatchewan.

Red Box were excellent. The album "The Circle And The Square" is very hard to get hold of these days because it was never reissued after its original release (complicated legal issues). But well worth picking up a copy if you find one.
