Don’t be sorry, I’m not offended.

Languaje, music and some unsaid rules are cultural differences between most participants of this site and myself. I tried to turn the game into a musical exchange and that was not the aim of the game. You made me realize that I had broken the game and at that point I didn’t know the languaje code to switch the situation to normal state.

Sorry everyone for crashing the game.

diegote,
Sorry if I offended you, that was not my intention.
Perhaps I was a bit brusque…

Well, this game took a sharp turn into a brick wall. I have played this game at parties where the difference is A) The song must have made the top 40 in the U.S.A., and B) you had to sing your guess. We can’t very well do B online, but I think it might be better if we invoke A. I didn’t intend for this to be a Google exercise, except maybe to look up the years. When the secret song is revealed, people shouldn’t have to say “huh?”

I will pick one that is a little harder than my last two, but still well known.

For example, Pat Metheny wouldn’t exactly be considered “popular music.”

He wouldn’t even be considered “somebody more than 0.01% of the world population had ever heard of.”

I’m not interested in a google exercise.

Is this a song/band that we are likely to recognize?

The secret song is alphabetically BEFORE “Don’t make no promises”
The artist is alphabetically BEFORE “Scorpions”
It was released IN 1980

Another tip (otherwise It will be impossible):
The artist is not from Europe.
