I never actually knew the name of this song, or the group who sang it, until today. I always referred to it as "that 80s hit with the chorus that sounds a lot Africa, but isn't."This evening I was watching the movie The Way, Way Back and the song came on in the background. I immediately paused the TV, whipped out my phone, turned on Shazam, and a few seconds later I was informed it was Kyrie by Mr. Mister. Technology is awesome sometimes.
Not only that, but I just found the same movie clip on YouTube:
So what are the actual words in the chorus? "Kyrie eleison," which apparently means "Lord, have mercy" in Greek.
