At beginning of the song was a musical phrase played by an organ or synthesizer, I think.
The first part of the lyric, sung by a man:
She…walks in… (later parts sung by several male and female vocalists in harmony):
Suddenly…wheels are in motion!
It actually sounded a lot like some of the Bee Gees’ stuff–but I don’t think they could sing this high.
“Suddenly” performed by Cliff Richard and Olivia Newton-John. From the 1980 movie Xanadu.
Yes, I was one of the few who really liked that movie. Had the soundtrack and played it often. (I was 14 when it came out.) 
Sheri
A friend of mine in high school actually gave me the 45" single of that song for Christmas when we were doing one of those surprise gift exchanges.
I recognized the snippet of lyrics immediately.
OK, this is eerie. I woke up with that song in my head this morning. As I dug around in my clothesdryer for clean underwear, I giggled as I thought of yet another candidate for the “Misheard Lyrics” thread at the SDMB…
Instead of
Longing to spend
Ev’ry moment of the day
Wiiiiith yoooooooooou…
I used to hear/sing:
Longing for respect
Ev’ry moment on the deck
Wiiiiith yoooooooooou… 
Now dammit, why doesn’t my “psychic ability” ever get me some damn lottery numbers???:rolleyes:
Thanx
I couldn’t pull up the link with the lyrics (I got that maddening “cannot find server” message), but at least I know who performed it. I’ve never heard of Cliff Richard, but I could never forget Olivia Newton-John…
One day later I clicked on that link and the lyrics came up.
Thanx again.
Cliff Richard is a British singer who’s much better known in the U.K. than in the U.S. He’s only had nine Top 40 singles in his 42-year career in the U.S., while he’s had 107 Top 40 singles in the U.K., including fourteen Number One hits. The highest charting single in the U.S. was “(It’s So Funny That) We Don’t Talk Anymore” in 1976, but even that didn’t quite chart as a Number One in the U.S. All this information comes from the 2001 edition of The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock and Roll. His reputation has always been mixed in the U.K. He still has a solid fan base even though he’s 61, but through most of his career a lot of people thought of him as kind of dorky.
Now regarded as a bit of a has-been, but popular in that aging-national-institution way. Never really regarded as cool given his open love of Christianity and virginity and his awful attempts to cash in on yoof culture (“Wired For Sound” and the “Living Doll” remake with the cast of the Young Ones TV show). Hasn’t had a hit for quite a while now, but still particular with pensioners and the odd middle-aged listener. Mostly famous in the last ten years for an impromptu performance to bedraggled punters during a rain break at Wimbledon a few years back. Knighted too, if I remember rightly.
Sorry, typo. ‘Particular’ should read ‘popular’.
