Oh yes, Cyndi Lauper—I loved that song too! That was back when I’d sit in front of my first stereo system, radio and tape recorder ready, finger hovering over the buttons to hit 'record' at just the right moment when the first chords played… and the inevitable frustration when the presenter talked over the intro again.
Ah, those were the days: trying to record a special song from the radio with your transistor next to a cassette recorder. I think I only tried it once and gave up becasue the quality was so bad, and of course they talked over the beginnings and endings of songs. Ha.
I also love that song!🩷. I am going to make a wild assumption, that on some recording format that You finally obtained the song. May it be vinyl, cassette, (probably not an eight track), CD, then who knows what. I also anticipated my favorites, and kind of “used the Force” to locate them and attempt to record them. Maybe it is a rite of passage.

Belinda Carlisle ☺️
Amy, with which song am I mixing it? Do you know. Thanks for the correction.
Hmmm, I’m not sure. But they were both so popular around the same time, so the mix up is understandable!
Ok, might have been. Could have been Time after Time?
I had wondered that, or True Colors? Though both are a lot slower paced than Heaven.
It might actually have been her “Girls just wanna have fun” as both start a bit similar in rhythm, or Change of Heart
- Because you were hoping to hear it again.

Nice song. Ta for the earworm.
As someone who used to date a radio disc jockey. They play Longest songs possible for breaks…somwtning about….Dashboard lights…comes to mind.
Ah the pain of a failed hypothesis. Grown ups are weird.
That's the world for you. You think you got it figured out and then, Bam, it changes on you!
I guess heaven isn’t a place on/at a radio station 🤷♀️

Oh yes, I became a mix tape master not long after that year, and I did capture that song in the wild at least once.
