Description
While very few in the U.S. may remember them, back in the early 80s the band New Orchestral Seagulls in the Mode swept across most of the rest of the world. They sold out shows all across Belgium, had more number one hits to date than any other group on the charts in Antarctica and the members were made Knights of the Royal order of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick.
Because of their vast international fame, it's only natural that New Orchestral Seagulls in the Mode would be approached to take the stage at Live Aid. It was Bob Geldof's own cousin's friend's plumber who approached the band and made sure they had their place in history.
Unfortunately, time limitations allowed for only one song and they chose, of course, their biggest hit - Every Day. It topped the Antarctic charts at number one for three solid months and sold nearly an astounding 15 copies world-wide. In the U.S. it rocketed up the Billboard Charts to #273 and stayed there for almost a solid week, receiving airplay at Boise, Idaho's number one New Wave station at the time.
Though the members of NOSITM all went their separate ways shortly after their moment in the spotlight at Wembly Stadium that July day in 1985, they still keep in touch, often working the same shift at the Belgrade McDonald's. There has been talk of the band getting back together with all the original members. Only time, and the assistant manager who handles shift schedules, will tell if this dream reunion becomes a reality.

Thanks to Lisa for providing me with some appropriate "sound effects" for the tune. ;)
Just so you know how much I'm in the spirit of this challenge: I mixed this song and posted this evening while wearing nothing other than my Pac-Man boxer shorts. So, no peeking ladies... and some of you guys....

Lyrics
Every Day
©2008 Joseph Gurner
I watch you as you’re walking down the sidewalk at night
so carefree as my eyes caress your face
You pretend you don’t notice as they undress you with their eyeys
and you smile because you know you’ll get your way
But I’ve felt the fire in side you
raging to be free
Like an animal coiled up inside
When you look at me
Every day -----
You look right through me
Every day ----
Then you turn away
Every day ----
I want to kiss you
I just want you more and more
Every day -------
I know your skin is soft as silk and your kisses sweet as wine
You give them as my hands caress your face
You pretend that you’re with me as we fall into your bed
But your eyes are a million miles away
You live your lies throughout the day
waiting for the night
There’s an animal trapped inside of you
Looking through your eyes
Every day -----
You look right through me
Every day ----
Then you turn away
Every day ----
I want to kiss you
I just want you more and more
Every day -------
Every day -----
You look right through me
Every day ----
Then you turn away
Every day ----
I want to kiss you
I just want you more and more
Every day -------

synth sounds on this - very 'New Wave' Like the vocals especially on the chorus.
