hi,
i'm looking for title and artist of a nice rock song, sounds a bit like Boomtown Rats or The Jam. refrain goes like this: "just another high school killing on a Saturday night, somebody got caught in someone's sight". the song contains a great guitar solo, too. it's from the 80s for sure.
i recorded it on tape about 20 years ago. it's still a good song. who can help? thanks a lot.

Hi Michael,

Goods news, Mike from the New Wave Outpost has solved your song. Here is his message.

That's "Just Another Saturday Night" by Alex Call. Don't know too much about this guy ... used to be in a band called Clover (which later included Huey Lewis), co-wrote Tommy Tutone's "867-5309/Jenny" and also worked with the likes of Elvis Costello and Greg Kihn. I have this song on a Arista promo comp from 1983.

Cheers.

Hi Paul,

that`s really good news! Thank you so much. I never heard about Alex Call before, but it's supposed to be the song I'm looking for. I already ordered it, thanks for the hint concerning GEMM. It's not easy to find records of Alex Call.
Thanx again to you and also to Mike from NWoutpost.

Michael
