What's this song I vaguely remember?

Can you help me identify this song?
Whenever I listen to Message In A Bottle by The Police, the intro strongly reminds me of another song that I remember hearing in the past. Unfortunately, I can't remember any of the lyrics except for a single piece. It's a female vocalist, perhaps sounding like Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders singing "oh my-my, oh my-my, Oh My-Myyy." I want to say that what immediately follows sounds like "myst'ry dreamer," but I might be wrong.
I'm probably being too vague about this to get any leads, but any help in identification would be strongly welcomed.

Best answer: The Pretenders have a song called "Mystery Achievement" on their self-titled album.

Yep, but to clarify, it looks like the Police song was released in 1979 and the Pretenders song in 1980. Of the many many times Sting has lifted material from other sources, this might not be one of them.
