For mouseovers: The line is “Captain of my heart.” It is followed by two other lines “something-something, something-something, Captain of my heart.”
The description is: I think there was a lot of piano, a moody soft song, and fromt he 80’s.
And that is literally all the information I have. My SO, who is probably the definitive amateur expert on 80’s pop rock, claims he has never heard of it but I know I didn’t dream it.
Anyone?
Bueller?

It sounds like Double’s “Captain of Her Heart”. Here are the lyrics:

(I believe the band’s name is actually pronounced doo-blay, but I’m not sure).
