I know this is a long shot.

Does anyone remember a song from 1983/84 which had the the words "Domino, Domino, followed by 5 other words" in the chorus, which was then repeated.

The song was sung by a male, about a girl (i think)

I think it was released on a compilation tape here in oz called something like "Break it up" or "Breakin", obviously back around the breakdance era.

If anyone can help that would be great

Van Morrison?

Domino

Don`t wannna discuss it
Think it`s time for a change
You may get disgusted
Start thinkin` that I`m strange

In that case I`ll go underground
Get some heavy rest
Never have to worry
About what is worst or what is best
(Get it)

Oh oh Domino (it`s all right)
Roll me over, Romeo, there you go
Lord, have mercy
I said oh-oh, Domino
Roll me over, Romeo, there you go
Say it again
I said oh-ooh-oh Domino
I said oh-ooh-ooh-oh Domino
(Dig It)

(Instrumental)

There`s no need for argument
There`s no argument at all
And if you never hear from him
That just means he didn`t call
Or vice versa
That depends on where ever you`re at
(All right)
And if you never hear from me
That just means I would rather not

(Hit it)
Oh oh Domino
(All right)
Roll me over Romeo, there you go
Lord have mercy
I said, oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo, there you go
(Hey, all right)
Say it again
Oh-oh-ooh-ooh Domino
(Hey, hit it)
I said oh-ooh-ooh Domino

Well, Mr. DJ I just wanna hear
Some rhythm and blues music
On the radio
On the radio
On the radio

Uh-uh, all right
Uh-uh, all right
Uh-uh, all right
Uh-uh

Hear the band

(Instrumental)

One more time

Did you try adding "classic" to your google searches? I got a lot of hits for "domino breakdance classic", but alas, no speakers.

P.S.

- Possible lyrics
- song about a girl
- from some decade

long shot indeed.

Oh Man! That takes me back. Have cardboard - will party.

I won a break competition and a twist competition (to the Blues Bros) in the same night once. Scored a snog with a hotty I'd been keen on too. Good times.



# 09 - Aint nobody still stands as a goodie. So does Herbie Hancock's 'Rockit'. Had no idea he was a jazz legend until decades later. "Geez he did awright for himself for a one hit wonder guy." I thought.


Er.. back to topic. Haircut - it could be on the Beat Street soundtrack? According to Wiki (which NEVER lies) there was a character named Domingo in the film.

Can you hum a few lines - write them down - and post?

Thanks again guys. It still eludes me, and unfortunately none of the ones anyone has suggested yet.

I'd give you more words, but I don't know any more of the words

I'm too embarrassed to hum it for you

getfunky - i will investigate the domingo suggestion - thanks

not sure if that was a smart answer or a genuinely good guess..... but not that song either

it was actually psycho killer by talking heads.

And the correct lyric was

(Psycho Killer Qu'est-ce que c'est? ) fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa better Run run run run run run run away OH OH OH
