Subject: Okay, I need help again with a song!

Written By: Andrew on 9/4/2000 at 12:41 a.m.

Alright, I heard a song the other night on an 80's special on the radio, and I really liked it. The problem is, I have no idea who sings it or what the name of it is! I "think" although I'm not sure, that it might have been done by Luba, because the woman's voice sounds a lot like the lead singer of Luba. The song is kind of moderate-tempo, and it sounds like it could be from about '86 possibly, give or take a year. I only know a bit of the chorus, and it goes like this (the capital letters represent the backgound vocals),

"Tell me hooooooooooow long, HOW LONG NOW, does it taaaaaaaaake, DOES IT TAKE NOW."

I think the song could possibly be called "How Long". Sorry, that's all I know. I've heard the song a couple times before, but was never aware of the song title or artist. I don't know many of the lyrics, but I wish I could give you a sample of the beat or rythym, because then you would get it for sure. If it was a song on an 80's special, it must have been SOMEWHAT of a hit. Anyways, if you can help me out, you are Gods.

You don't have to help me now. I went onto Napster and found out that it was "How Many" by Luba. I have no idea what year it's from though.
