My husband and I were reminicing about when we just got cable and watched MTV for the first times. We remembered, vaguely, a music video that has a woman and a train. It was either black and white or very dreary. It's a sad song. That's all we can remember. Since the discussion my brain has been trying to grasp the tune and remember the video.

Pretty in Pink got it! It was Breaking Us in Two. Joe Jackson 1982. I played a bit from I-tunes and immediately recognised it. Your good. Thanks! Now my mind will rest!

Was it Time after time by Cyndi Lauper? There was also a video by Joe Jackson called Breaking us in two. Maybe Drive by the Cars? If you can remember anything more I am SURE I can help you figure out which song it is. Do you know if it was a male or female singer? I have had this happen to me as well...it bugs me to no end until I figure it out. Comes at the oddest of moments too. LOL

Under my Thumb by Godley & Creme (ex 10cc)
It was about the ghost of a woman who committed suicide on the train
British vocalists/multi-instrumentalists Kevin Godley and Lol Crème have one of the most eclectic resumés in rock & roll. Godley and Crème were session musicians when they joined 10cc in 1970. Originally called Hotlegs, 10cc were an art pop group that frequently appeared on the U.K. charts in the early '70s, eventually hitting number two in the U.S. with "I'm Not in Love." The two departed from 10cc a year later so they could experiment with the Gizmo, a gadget that enabled the guitar to create sounds with symphonic textures. The device, which they had invented, became the inspiration for Godley & Crème's 1977 debut triple-LP Consequences. A concept album about mankind battling a vengeful Mother Nature, Consequences was ripped to shreds and ridiculed by critics for its pretentiousness and excessive length. The bad press and poor sales generated by Consequences nearly destroyed the duo's career. However, in 1981, Godley & Crème landed on the British Top Ten with "Under My Thumb." But Godley & Crème achieved the most commercial success and critical acclaim in the '80s as video pioneers. The pair directed MTV clips for the Police, Duran Duran, and Frankie Goes to Hollywood that stretched the boundaries of music video and proved that the form was capable of producing art. In 1985, Godley & Crème had their only American smash with "Cry." Not surprisingly, it had an eye-popping video with groundbreaking special effects that showed people's faces morphing into one another. Godley & Crème were unable to climb the heights of "Cry" again and released Goodbye Blue Sky in 1988 before leaving music behind for video production. Crème joined the Art of Noise in the late '90s.
