Cannot remember this song to save my lfie....

Okay, I heard a song a few months ago. It sounds like a really epic Cheap Trick song. The lyrics are pretty sexually explicit (not a lot of dirty words, but highly erotic) and the singer sounds a bit like Edwyn Collins.

Really intense song. The one lyric I remember most is something about, "they'll hear the moans up in our bedroom" or something along those lines. This isn't an obscure song, but I cannot figure out who sings it. I think it's from the early 90s/late 80s. Thanks in advance guys/gals....

guessing blindly here, but James - "Laid"?
its erotic and frantic at times.

Wow, that was an amazing guess. After listening to the song I realized my memory of it was utterly wrong. I still love the song, but he sounds nothing like Edwyn Collins and the Cheap Trick comparison was weak at best. You = the shit.

Now "Laid" will be in my head for days. That's not as bad as it sounds.

The album (also called Laid) that comes off is one of my all-time favourites -- definitely worth a listen, although that song isn't really representative of it.

You couldn't not hear this song on the radio when American Pie came out.

Funny, I went through a brain-wracking process over maybe a year or two to identify this very song as well. The only fragment of the lyric that I could remember at the time was something about how the woman being sung about "came through the wall".
