He said he thought you would know it, and it's not like he could be sure one way or the other.

I haven't heard it either fwiw, but apparently it was pretty big at the time.

answering a couple of questions

song released "as a single" in 1982

While I think the song will be familiar at least, I doubt the band name would.

also, there are other billboard charts/rankings other than US top 40 Billboard or US top100 Billboard......just saying genre might be something to think about based on where you all are.

Oh... Well I wouldn't know many songs from that time period that wouldn't be considered rock, or at least crossing over to the main Billboard chart.

Official Video has over 60M views... not a country song. More popular in Europe than US. Still going to be hard to nail down.

Looks like it fits. Only went up to Billboard 46,which surprises me.

Did it make the top 40 of the US Billboard "Hot Black Singles" (now known as "Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs") chart?

"hot black singles" is what the chart was actually called in 1982. Wikipedia gives the chart positions with the current name.

Unfortunately, "It's Raining Men" didn't make the top 10,so it is ruled out.

I think we're back to Nasty Girl by Vanity 6 as the leading contender.

I'm starting to think this is a song that was first released in 1982 but maybe only became popular some time later...maybe even a cover of it? I can't find anything that fits.

Me neither. I think it must be a better known song than this.
