This song was the first chart success for this artist. It came off their 5th Album. A long wait. Reply #6823. Feb 19 17, 12:51 PM |

The singer is alive. Actually I just daw he is half Irish - sorry if I misled you, I just assumed (I know, I know, that's always a mistake...) Reply #6835. Feb 21 17, 2:31 PM |

Bit late for Elvis Costelloe? Reply #6836. Feb 21 17, 3:30 PM |

No, not one by Elvis Costello. The singer is not quite a decade older than EC and was not born on the British Isles. Reply #6837. Feb 22 17, 2:23 AM |

Got me stumped here malama, was the song a hit in the US? Reply #6838. Feb 22 17, 7:51 AM |

It reached #1 in UK, Ireland, Flanders(Belgium), Canada, Norway, Poland and South Africa. #2 in Australia and #2 or 3, depending on which chart in the US. And despite being such an international success, it was also voted as one of the worst and most irritating songs. Reply #6839. Feb 22 17, 8:13 AM |

The most irritating song I can think of is Lady in Red and if memory serves, Chris de Burgh is Irish (or part Irish). Reply #6840. Feb 22 17, 9:20 AM |
