Not Much

[woodelf]

Not much to go on I'm afraid, but does anyone know the title of a song, released in 1979 (I think) with the words Who and Detective in the title? When the word Who was sung in the chorus, it had the echo effect on it. The song was by a group not a solo singer and I heard it on Radio Luxemburg and it was an 'upbeat' song too. Ta Muchly.

Could it be Elvis Costello - "Watching the Detectives"? but they say 'shoot' not 'who'

Hi Robinia, sorry it's nothing like the Elvis C. song...I should have made it clearer...it's a more pop/discoey type song; but thanks for answering.

Might be a bit too early but could it be 'we are detective' by the Thompson twins?

Sorry Mifta, yes it's too early for the Thompson Twins and no Craft, I'm not thinking of Shaft...bum! I hope this aint gonna be too obscure?
