Stuck in my head: Blast off! (blast off) Soooo...this is a long shot, but I'm desperate:
→[More:]I have this song stuck in my head. I'm pretty sure it's 80's-style, and at some point in the song they sing punchy, two word phrases like, "blast off!" (blast is sol, and off is mi) - which are then repeated by a deep-voiced guy with a lot of reverb on his voice.

It's driving me crazy. Can any bunnies hope me?

Linda Ronstadt's version?

(also, because I love them so and to offset the horror of the high-waisted pants in my previous link) the ever-delightful Martha & the Vandellas original.

Marylin Monore's "Tropical Heat Wave" ?

Thank you, but that is not it. Wayyyy more retro.

Oh! It's not "heat wave," it's "blast off!"

...still have no idea what the song is though. If any mods see this and want to change my question accordingly, feel free!

OFF BLAST!

;)

Seriously though, do you mean 80s New Wave style? Pop style? Hair metal?

Pretty sure it's New Wave-y. But all I can really remember for sure is what I've already posted, and even that is pretty sketchy - in case it wasn't clear to anyone what happened here, I actually thought the words were "heat wave,"
so it's probably best to take everything I say with a coarse grain of salt!

The first thing that I thought of when I saw this question was the music from a Penn & Teller routine, Liftoff of Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEB50IfgkA4">Liftoff of Love.

I wonder how that got stuck in my head...
