I can usually find any song on google or youtube....but not this one

Unfortunately I don't know the tittle or the artists....I thought it was by a band called y&t but I'm not sure it is

Here's some of the lyrics....remember it's from around the mid 80's

verse:

Remember the nights, you told me the secrets of your heart,
holy heart

and now your, caught up in the action, lipstick and the crimes of passion and the warm kisses of faith, that we share along the way

chorus:
(solo) Well Jenny

(harmony) Come into the warm summer sun

(solo) Jenny take my advice and come

(harmony) Forget about the troubles on your mind

(solo) We can leave them all behind

Theres more but i forget the rest....would like to know who sings it

Thanks, Dale

    I don't recognize the rest of the lyrics, but something about a few words in the chorus caught my eye. There's a song from 1985 that has:

    Forget about the worries on your mind
    You can leave them all behind

    as part of the chorus.

    I know it's not exactly what you wrote but it's worth a shot.

    Rhythm Of The Night - Debarge.

    Thanks for responding Paul,

    I remember that song but it's not the one I'm looking for

    The song I'm lookin for was popular on MTV for a while around the time of Don Henley's "Boys of Summer"

    It has almost the same "feel" as Henley's song

    Thanks Dale

    Hi Dale,

    This is off the top of my head, but I think Y&T (short for Yesterday & Today) had a song called Summertime Girls. I know 'summertime' is definitely part of the title.

    Now...to do some digging. Be right back.

    Rock on!

    Will do some more digging....

    Hey Michael,

    "Summertime Girls....you make the whole world go round"

    Yea, I remember. Y&T also had a good one called "Keep on Runnin" I used to play drums to that song at high school parties.

    Now...to do some digging. Be right back.
    I tried googling the lyrics above (in the first post) quotes and broad. It didn't come up with anything.

    I'm not sure those are the exact lyrics but they're close.

    Thanks for responding, Dale

    Sheryl,

    I found the post again by googling the lyrics, I still "Lurk" around here in the basement every now and then

    Peter,

    Yea, it's cheesy, I'll give you that. Like I said above there's just certain harmonies I like. Like the backing vocals on "The Otherside" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers (especially near the end). Van Halen's backing vocals. The harmonies on "Walk away Renee" sung by the Four Tops.

    Pete, just out of curiousity, what's your musical preference???


    ...............

      Hello again I just got to say that I heard "Summer Sum" in the radio, I searched about the band and their music. One day I "google" the lyrics and got to this forum. I created an acount that moment because someone deserved to have an answer! Today I remembered the song, and here I am again in the forum. Never thought this would make someone so happy, it made my day!
