   Help with early 80's medium tempo song:

   I need help identifying a song, which I am almost certain is by a pop-rock band   
   of the early 80's.  It is an upbeat song .. medium tempo, good simple guitar   
   riffs.   
   Don't know any of the words  :(   
   The female singer has a slighter deeper voice. My list of potential candidates   
   so   
   far are:   
      
    - Parachute Club   
    - Martha and the Muffins   
    - Pretenders   
      
   The closest *voice* match I could fine (I think) is Lorraine Segatto   
   (Parachute Club),   
   but it is not the most popular hits (Rise Up or Feet of the Moon).  I haven't   
   been   
   able (yet) to hear the other songs by Parachute Club (best of CD on order).   
   The tempo of the song is slighter slower than Echo Beach (Martha/Muffins), but   
   with   
   more emphasis on guitar rather than keyboard.   
      
   Any ideas what song I'm thinking of ??  I'd recognize it instantly. Have   
   previewed many   
   other 80's female-singer bands in musicpreviews at  amazon.com and   
   puretracks.com  but no joy!   
      
   Thanks,
