V CAST Song ID is stumped.

I spent way too much time trying to solve this puzzle, and I think the music director is in fact the only route to go now. Here's why: Listening to those two videos above I was able to make out some of the lyrics and then Google them. Couldn't find anything matching (or the results were too vast). In the second vid, the words "you're just under pressure" is clear enough that it's likely not a case of mis-hearing. That phrase in Google brings up NOTHING.

The song is either so obscure it was never popular enough to warrant "the internets" transcribing the lyrics, or it was made for the movie. I'd bet on "obscure", since it sounds too good to be made up for a few minutes of a Canadian horror movie. (That's another clue. The song could be Canadian).

Yes that is exactly what I was thinking!  I was hoping it was just a rare 80s band.  But I figured it would probably end up coming down to having to contact Paul.  I was reading this interview about the music he did in his movies but unfortunately he didn't mention anything about this song.. but yeh I actually have quite a big collection of these type of songs..  'song that was made only for a movie' genre or whatever you would like to call that..

LOL Yeh man me too.  I googled that same phrase!  Then word played with it for hours, switchin'm around, exact phrase match, etc...  Tried making out some of the other lyrics but didn't get much.  Think I heard "You amaze me" somewhere in there..   I even searched forums for popular Canadian 80s bands, Canadian 80s one-hit-wonders, etc..  no luck

Hello Paul,

I apologize if you have been inundated with e-mails about this topic lately.

I participate on an arcade forum that's generally obsessed with everything 1980's and the song played during the prom scenes of "Hello Mary Lou Prom Night II" has been a matter of considerable debate.

Is this an actual commercially released song or something composed for the movie?  Is it possible to obtain a full length copy of this song?

Thank you,

James
