Song ID: this one 80s song.....

They usually play it on the radio quite a bit, but I have no idea who its by or what the name the song is. but its been stuck in my head since last sunday.

All i can tell you is that the main hook/chorus of the song goes : "Whoa, oh, ohhh, ohhhhhhh, oh, ohh, ohh. Whoa, oh, ohhh, ohhhhhhh, oh, ohh, ohh."

any ideas?

Howard Jones - Things can only get better


THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER - Howard Jones

We're not scared to lose it all
Security throw through the wall
Future dreams we have to realize
A thousand sceptic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize

CHORUS
And do you feel scared - I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh

Treating today as though it was
The last, the final show
Get to sixty and feel no regret
It may take a little time
A lonely path, an uphill climb
Success or failure will not alter it

And do you feel scared - I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh

And do you feel scared - I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh

I'm definitely leery of him now after that display...

He must be a minion of "The Man".

Not proud of the reference, but only song I knew of that goes "Whoa, oh, ohhh, ohhhhhhh, oh, ohh, ohh." If you try it, you will see it fits...

dude, I thought the same thing when I read it. Song just jumps out at you. It was obvious to any one who ever heard the song, anyway.

I thought it was a song about a runaway horse. Silly me.
