"The Captain Of Her Heart"
(Hang,Maloo)

It was way past midnight
and she still couldn't fall asleep

This night the dream was leaving
she tried so hard to keep

and with the new day's dawning
she felt it drift away
not only for a cruise
not only for a day

Too long ago,too long apart
she couldn't wait another day
for the captain of her heart

As the day came up,she made a stop
she stopped waiting another day
for the captain of her heart

Yes... great song... I would NEVER have known the band's name if you hadn't mentioned it... a one-hit wonder right?

Yeah,I don't think they had any other hits.

I adore the piano on this tune...it's mesmerizing

I loved this song!

I don't think I've heard it since the 80's though.

For some reason,I often hear this song playing in supermarkets when I'm shopping,lol.

DavidEye said:

I think it sort of fits that situation actually. The light piano and all.

I just watched the video on YouTube go there and type in "The Captain Of Her Heart"


I love that site!

1986? Wow. For some reason, I thought this song was earlier than this. For a while, I thought this song was Joe Jackson, because it reminded me of Steppin' Out (not a good song for me to be reminded of).

"Steppin' Out" by Joe Jackson

DavidEye said:

No! That song always gives me the willies. I can't explain it. Then there was the time Angela Bower and Tony Micelli danced to it in a dream sequence on Who's the Boss?, and that made it even worse!

RipHer2Shreds said:

well I think it's one of the greatest songs of the 80s

OMG great song. Very Joe Jackson-ish.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I can't even think of what this song sounds like. Does it deserve the "headbang" emoticon that DavidEye gave it?

minneapolisgenius said:

It deserves a lot of things, but a head bang is not one of them! If you so choose, you can listen to a sample.

DavidEye said:

Wow, what a blast from the past. I used to love this song. Thanks for the memory.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Ok I listened, and of course I know this song! I was thinking it was Michael Jackson's dad or something. I like this one. I don't remember any "Who's the Boss?" connection though.

minneapolisgenius said:

Me either. I don't know what I was talking about. I've never watched that show in my life.

DavidEye said:

Really nostalgic song from my childhood!

RipHer2Shreds said:

Of course you haven't.

we need a separate thread on "Steppin Out" by Joe Jackson!

Thats a great tune,for some reason with me, i always play 2 songs along with that.... Shattered dreams by Johnny Hates Jazz and advice for the young at heart by TFF. they just mesh well..

IAintTheOne said:

DavidEye said:
