    Help me Identify this early 80s french/japanese techno pop..

    Hey,

    I only have a some lyrics and some of the actual song on tape, but it goes like this:

    Song speed: about >138-140 bpm.

    Man Chorus in english:
    The Tokyo Twist, the tokyo twist, the tokyo twist (with a deep lower voice).... you/could never resist.. the back on my rest?!.. the tokyo rest.. twist... (and he goes on singing) - the tokyo twist...

    Thats all that I have, but I'm pretty sure, that I have recorded it in the beginning of the 80's, but the song could be from the late 70's?!

    Regards,
    SLL

    This is only a guess: German Band 'Tone Band' had a 7" and an album out in 1982 called 'Tokyo twist'. I can't remember the lyrics any more but it was in a synth pop style.

    Hey,

    I have had a little help from a good friend, that actually could host a little MP3 snip of this song. I will be very happy, if you will listen to it. Then maybe you could help me with a songname?! :-)

    I think this could be Tone Band, Tokyo Twist, but I'm not sure, as I have never heard anything from Tone Band.

    Here is the MP3 link:
