Scavenger Hunt! Need help unravelling Piranha song - FighterAndLover - 04-22-2005

My Dad has been trying to track down a song he heard, I believe in from the 80's. He said it had heavy bass. The lyrics were something as follows:

"Oh, Donna
Do ya still wanna?
You (called me up) when I was eating piranha"

Every verse was about a different girl, one about Anna? Every verse had piranha in it.

I know this is very vague information, but I haven't been able to track it down online. Anyone that can help at all gets a gold star. Sorry if this thread seems useless or misplaced; feel free to flame if you deem it necessary

Sounds like "This Beat Goes On / Switchin' To Glide" by the Kings.

Aha! Got it in one! (Sorry, just read Waiting for Godot in AP English)

THank you so much, Gold star Tommy :thumb:

Except the line is "...you said to call me up when I was in Toronto" (Although he kinda drags out the word Toronto to rhyme with Donna.)

That song has one of my favourite lines of any song:

"Nothing matters but the weekend
From a Tuesday point of view"

Yeah, my Dad apparently had the lyrics wrong (which explains why I couldn't find it online! He was sure it said piranha) Anyway, I can't wait to see the look of surprise on his face when he comes downstairs and I start blasting it, because he doesn't know I did this. Thanks for all the help, guys!
