I tried reproducing part of the song as best as I could. The song is
techno style, it is definitely from the mid to late 80's.

I have tried for YEARS to find this song without any luck. You can
listen to the MP3 sample here:

Is it a sample from the actual song, or someone trying to play it in
order to immitate the sound of it? Are the keyboard clicking sounds
there in the original?

No, it is not a sample from the actual song, just me trying to
immitate the sound of it. The cliking you hear it's me pressing the
keys on my keyboard.

I think it was sung by a group. The music style is similar to New
Order, Pet Shop Boys and the like. Remember, it's Techno/Dance/House
from the 80's

Hang in there, you'll eventually find it!  I looked for a song for 3
years, looked everywhere, asked anyone I met, which as you know is
very HARD if you don't know the name of the song OR the group!

I eventually found it one day at Napster, happened to be looking
(again, for the 1,000th time) and low and behold, I played the song
and THAT WAS IT!!!

FYI, my song is "TRIBE" by BABBLE. It still makes me smile!

Strange ... somehow, the first notes make me think of the line "Two
long legs walking by my side" - or something in that direction. I
could swear I know that song, but those lyrics seem not to exist. Very
strange, indeed.

That beggining is very familiar... but I can't place it.

Was it sung by a guy, girl or group?

That intro reminded me in a way of the Top Gun anthem... but that's
probably far from the answer. I'm also getting flashes of Wire Train
and the Go-Betweens playing in my head. Well, let's hope someone will
find that familiar and come up with the answer.

I know that song too.  I think I know the group.  But I am not going
to tell until I find the song.  The middle part is the key.  I will
get back to you.

I know it is this song.  It has to be.  It is a group that you rarely remember.

My friend has all that 80 music songs.  So I probably heard it 1000s times.
Am I right?
