hello - is it me you're looking for?
when my younger sister was about 12 she used to record the soundtrack from top of the pops onto tape using the small cassette player I used for loading games onto the spectrum. she would put it up to the speaker of the telly and record the songs off of top of the pops (pausing it when the DJ's talked) and spend the week listening to the tape - and as I found out - learning all the words - verbatum.

that was until we were at a party and the slow songs came on and everyone was slow dancing to Hello by Lionel Richie.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with the video but at one point our hero Lionel is running after the blind girl, that has made a perfect sculpture of him in art class, and he yells "Help Me".
In the video.
He doesn't say that on the single.
The single that was being played as a room full of people slowed danced with each other.

I can still say "help me" now in any quiet situation and cause her to go red.

[edit: title should have been "hello - is it me you're looking at?]
