When I was a little kid there was a fantastic TV show on one of the TV channels, entitled "Tropical Heat" aka "Sweating Bullets". It was a story of Nick Slaughter, a former policeman and now private investigator, who - along with his friends, Sylvie, Ian, Spider, Carillo and others solved the most puzzling criminal mysteries - all in a wonderful scenery of a fictious tropical town called Key Mariah.
The series had several trademarks. Among of them were Nick's ponytail, his jeep, passion for women, Sylvie's red hair and wit, Spider's charming foolishness and many other things - including a fantastic intro song "Anyway The Wind Blows" by Fred and Larry Molin.
Around 8 months ago I stumbled upon this song on youtube, here it is:
• Tropical Heat theme- A...
Reading the comments of guys saying "My childhood flashes before my eyes", I felt in a moment how many years have gone by and shall never return... I wanted to see what other people write about the song and series, and therefore started reading the comments. One of them was written by a person from Canada. I clicked on his profile and saw that among his favourites there was an enigmatic song "Eyes Of A Stranger" by Payola$. I had never heard it before, but the mysterious face of man with a lot of make-up on his face that featured the video made me curious... I went on to watch the video and listen to the song.
It was one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have heard.
Then came the standard process of "googling", and soon I knew a lot about the band. They were a sort of another "one hit wonder", who lighted up like a candle and faded so fast that almost no one noticed... it didn't discourage me though. I got several mp3s of the band ("The Best Of The Payolas") and to be honest I didn't like them too much - they were nowhere near as good as "Eyes..."
As far as I remember, the video that the Canadian posted was watched around 200.000 times and had lots of comments, often including very wise remarks of people all over the world. Unfortunately, this amazing song was removed from youtube some time ago, along with hundreds of other great tunes. It makes me wonder - for whom is the music created? Who found anything bad in the fact that people came to this website every day, finding some joy in those beautiful songs and enlightning their sad, bleak lives?
Anyway, I wanted to do something to change the matter. With the help of my good friend (and by the way - one of the most intelligent and promising youngsters of the world - and I'm not exaggerating) Sz.G. I made this video. It doesn't show the actual teledisc, as it would probably be treated as exceeding copyright laws and therefore deleted within a few days. It just shows the photo of the wonderful group of people, who became famous in the 80's with their great hit, "Eyes Of A Stranger". The rest, as they say, was history...
Here's the lyrics to the song:
Can I touch you to see if you're real?
Is it nothing this something I feel?
Can my heart take the strain?
Or will it break down again?
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
Have I been sleeping for all these years?
Is it magic that makes you appear?
When you walked in the room I felt my heart race
But you acted rude and I looked in your face
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I see a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I see a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger...
=============================
I've got two small requests my friends. If you found the text above helpful in any way, could you please:
1) try to help me with the "???" in the lyrics? I'm not able to figure out what was sung there... I'm not a native English speaker, but I'm sure that some of you are and would be able to hear those few words. I'd be very grateful.
EDIT 6th May 2007: thanks for submitting the correct lyrics Liskacz! Now everything is OK.
2) If you enjoyed this song, try this one... the band is from Britain, and that's the only major difference - they also released one big hit and later faded from the music scene, they were the members of the New Wave... Their biggest song is beautiful, touching and the type of the ones that you'll never forget. After hearing about the flowers screaming their joy in summer light you'll too find that no matter how sad and bad is everything around us - there's still beauty, charm and happiness that is within the reach of our hands... it's just our task to find it and never let it go.
Follow this link, you won't regret it.

Do you remember David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars? Do you remember the incredible guitar playing, singing, string arrangements of Mick Ronson, lead guitar for the Spiders? Mick produced this song, and the LP that is was on. Great track. RIP, Mick Ronson. PS: This song won "Single of the Year" in Canada. The Payolas later had to change their name to Rock and Hyde. Another great track, "Where is this Love?"

A long Lost Classic Great Song and Beat ..Some Info About Re This Cool Band. The Payolas (or Payola$) were part of Vancouver's new wave of bands and active in the Canadian music scene for a decade from the late 1970s, recording several albums and singles that were Canadian chart hits. They disbanded in 1988, but reformed again from 2003 to 2008, issuing a new EP in 2007. The band's name is a reference to the payola scandal in the United States in the early 1960s.

It suffers from being Canadian -- meaning it gets no radio exposure anywhere else. You can go through the list of fantastic Canadian artists who barely get a mention in the US or over seas. For every one Canadian that gets noticed internationally, another 10 artists just as good are completely ignored. Example: Shania Twain and Celine Dion get noticed internationally but The Tragically Hip don't.

I'd never heard this song in my life till about 5 years ago... and it, despite being so plain in its nature as to how I came across this song, never strayed from my mind. Easily one of the best songs EVER conceived by man. I would love to see someone try and tackle a cover to this song. 21st century! HOP TO IT!

This song...... Valley Girl. You know, the plot of that movie is really so sad. She gaslights the guy for no reason, and he just magically gets her back. He should have told her to kiss his a$$. I have always hated that part of it. Regardless, that movie was a slumber party hit for me and my friends in the 80s. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing. THIS SONG... eyes of a stranger. WOW

Great song! I spent much time in Canada in the late 70's and most of the 80's. There were SO many great bands in the Great White North! Not to mention the beautiful ladies, eh?

"But you acted rude and I looked in your face" should be "but I knew I'd been fooled when I looked at your face." My source? The original lyric sheet that came with the LP. :)

Can I touch you to see if your real Cause in nothing there's something I feel And my heart takes it straight Or it'll break down again In your lips I sense a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger Have I been sleeping for all these years? Is it magic that makes you appear? When you walked in the room I felt my heart race But you in the food when I look at your face In your lips I sense a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger In your lips I see a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger

I went to a club where they had dancers, there was a really beautiful girl dancing to this music. She had such beautiful eyes and they were the eyes of danger. Sometimes she could be so nice and other times very moody. One time she told me she had slashed the tires on her ex-boyfriend's car.
