What the song called c1983-86.?

Question

Hello just wondering if anyone knew what the song/title/artist is.
I can remember that in the song a lady is calling her husband on MARS and the call breaks up half way through.(I know a bit weird).The song was out early eighties .
The tune to this song has been stuck in my head for a few days now and is annoying me but brings some memories back from childhood. I know this is a long shot as I cant hum the tune to anyone here. Any sugestions?

Answer 1

It was The Rah Band - Clouds across the moon.

And it was 1985.

Answer 2

Lee has it bang on, The Rah Band, Clouds across the Moon.
CHORUS
"Now as I look at the clouds across the moon, here in the night I just hope and pray that soon"

p.s. Misty, Calling Occupants was actually by The Carpenters.

p.p.s go to www.therahband.com/rah07.html to hear an extract of the song. It begins with the "Intergalactic" operator talking to the singer.

It IS "Clouds across the Moon" by The Rah Band..
This track got to No. 6 in the UK Charts, back in March '85..
and for good measure.. Here's the lyrics. Hope this helps you..
Take Care.. Mark.


INTRO

"Good evening. This is the intergalactic operator. Can I help you?"
"Yes. I'm trying to reach flight commander P.R. Johnson, on Mars, flight 2-4-7"
"Very well, hold on please [beeping] you're through!"
"Thank you operator!"

VERSE 1 :

Hi darlin' ! How are you doing ?
Hey baby, where're your sleeping ?
Oh I'm sorry, but I've been really missing you !

Hi darlin' ! How's the weather?
Say baby, is that cold better now ?
Oh I'm sorry, is there someone there with you??

BRIDGE:

Ooooh...since you went away, there's nothing goin' right !
I just can't sleep alone at night... I'm not ashamed to say
I badly need a friend...or it's the end.

CHORUS:

Now, when I look at the cloud's across the moon.
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon.
Oh baby, you'll hurry home to me.

VERSE 2 :

Hi darlin', the kids say they love you.
Hey baby, is everything fine with you?
Please forgive me, but I'm trying not to cry...

BRIDGE :

Ooooh...I've had a million different lovers on the phone.
But I just stayed right here at home.
I don't think that I can take it anymore this crazy war.

CHORUS

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but we are
experiencing violent storm conditions in the asteriod belt at this
time. We may lose this valuable deep space communication link.
Please, be as brief as possible.
Thank you."

BRIDGE

or it's...or it's..."Hello?" "Hello operator?"
" Yes, we've lost the connection! Could you try again please?"
-"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we've lost contact with Mars 2-4-7
at this time."

CHORUS repeat 3 times WHILE SAYING:

"Ok. Thank you very much...
I'll...I'll try again next year...next year...next year...next year..."

SOLO BASS-GUITAR

CHORUS repeat 3 times WHILE FADING OUT

Answer 4

Definitely clouds across the moon by the rah band. 1985 i believe.

Answer 5

Calling Occupants

I think it is something like--
Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft

I think it was Captain and Tennille

I'm pretty sure it's not the Bowie song. As I don't think a woman sings it.

Answer 6

Ground control to Major Tom - Bowie sang it xxxxxx

Answer 7

'David Bowie - Space Oddity' is the only song that comes to mind.
