Wrong song, wrong artist.
The lyric in the song you offer is similar, but not the same.

In a previous post, you offered Ghost Town by The Prodigy, and it is most certainly not lyric 137. If you are telling me that Ghost Town is by The Specials and can tell me the correct number, then I will credit you with a virtual coconut... and your name in lights. :D

Lipps Inc only just sneaked into the 80's, I thought that version was from the 70's.

Re: 80's Christmas Music Quiz.
 
Got it, and in the process, made me notice an anomaly in the quiz. There are actually two lyrics by Robert Palmer, Willow got the other one.
It was my intention at the outset to have each artist represented only once, in their own right, in this quiz. Silly me.:o
