Tracking it down forever? Just type in the lyrics and you’ve found it.

Great song. Love it especially when I’m fucking hammered and near black out drunk at the end of the night. (Haven’t been for many years)

The melody was in my head, but couldn't remember words

Were you haunted by it ? Its a haunting melody.

I was actually just listening to this a week or two ago.

More like a longing determination

But a haunting longing

Really? Not even the 'i wanna fall in love, with you" part?

[ - ] Smedleys_Butler [op] 1 point 4 monthsJan 21, 2025 08:26:13 ago (+1/-0)

It's 'don't wanna fall in love'. Maybe the lack of enunciation threw me off. You know how many songs would have that line

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 4 monthsJan 21, 2025 10:02:47 ago (+0/-0)

Youre right. I used to think it was “I wanna...” but “I don’t wanna... “ makes a lot more sense . She’s wicked because she’s making him fall in love.

Here's an excellent alternate version:

Great tune! When his voice transitions from regular singing to a falsetto-effortlessly-Whoa!

It's like we time traveled back to the 90s ain't it

What a long, strange trip it's been.

It’s a great song.

Remember when it'd get regular airplay back in the day? I've used humming apps to find it to no avail, until David Lynch dies, and I'm watching films of his I've yet to see.

You should have hummed it to me.

Are you my assigned fed? Why didn't you help

Fun fact witch you probably already knew: Chris Isaak starred in the 1992 David Lynch film Twin Peaks:Fire Walk With Me. He played an FBI agent. Not sure how extensive his acting career was, or if he was connected to the TV series since I really didn't watch it when it was on.

[ - ] Smedleys_Butler [op] 1 point 4 monthsJan 21, 2025 08:27:18 ago (+1/-0)

That was kinda a one off with Bowie

[ - ] Bonanza 0 points 4 monthsJan 21, 2025 09:15:03 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah, Bowie was in that movie as well. He had small role.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 4 monthsJan 21, 2025 10:12:38 ago (+0/-0)

Bowie had a fairly extensive acting career.

Isaak was also in Little Buddha, which was a movie I really liked.
