A work colleague is at risk of losing face to her brother unless a half remembered song can be identified; so I wondered if the wonderful people at The Dope might be able to help!
It’s an indie type song from pre-1985 (she remembers hearing it on a trip to Iceland in August 1985 which dates it from that period). Possibly on the Factory Records label, although a search of this doesn’t pull up any identifiable titles.
The main thing she remembers is that it features a sample from the Billy Wilder film Stalag 17, in particular these lines:
(Sefton) The Germans know where Dunbar is.
(Hoffy) How do they know?
(Sefton) You told them, Hoffy.
I know it’s not much to go on but it might mean something to someone, many thanks!
