Can’t you sing what you know and post it as an mp3 or something? I think I speak for all of us when I say we need a little bit more to go on. Having said that, “Gloria’s Dream” By The Cynics has a chorus of “'Round and 'Round’s” but no “Oh No’s” or “Tangled Webs” Jon ---

I second nitroglycerine’s suggestion - sing it for us! 😛 ---

So, is that it? We’ve given up? No resolution, no answers, just an eternal mystery? Dang, I _hate_ it when that happens… Barry ---

Considering this was solved 11 years ago, I’m going to say “no” to your guess. ---

I bet it was _Round and Round_ by Selena Gomez. It wasn’t released until 2010, so that’s why they were having such a hard time finding it. ---

**misspiggy** , you are correct. If I had some way of knowing if you’d read the entire thread and the linked thread with the correct answer, I’d know whether to congratulate you or not. If you haven’t, I would have to say you know your obscure late 80’s pop, and you may have found a good place for yourself. Either way, welcome to the Dope! ---

No, **misspiggy** was right. It’s Round & Round by Frōzen Ghōst. That song got quite a bit of airplay on Canadian radio. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/identify-this-80s-song-for-a-friend/182224.md?page=2)
