I love this song, hummm, don't know the title right now, something with Love in it somewhere, really cool. I think it is a girl singing it, but not 100% sure, could be a guy as well singing kind of high.

Anyone can help me out???

can't see what Dauphin posted 'cause I'm at work, but, "If You Leave" is by "O.M.D." Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark.

that song "oh yeahhh" from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, is it Rick James? I thought I saw his name in the credits at the end.

Louie was whiter than white
Ain't no shame when you taste brown sugar

The song is called "Brother Louie" and it was performed by the group Stories.

Are you talking about the song "Love" by the Sundays? I thought it was a really pretty song.

I really liked their cover of the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses".

The British disco group 'Hot Chocolate' also did a cover of this smile
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

I didn't know who sang "Cutie Pie" until about 2 months ago.

There was this song in "Coming to America" when Lisa's sister Patrice was dancing with their little dog in the living room. I don't know the name of the song, or who sings it. I thought it was Jesse Johnson, but now I have no idea.
