1) The Swiss duo of Felix Haug (drums and keyboards) and Kurt Maloo (guitar and vocals), formerly part of a trio called Ping Pong, scored an international hit in 1986 with the atmospheric ballad “The Captain of Her Heart” (#16 US pop, #4 US AC, #8 UK, #17 Canada) from their debut album Blue. It would be their only substantial hit, with “Devils Ball,” the lead single from 1987 follow-up album Dou3le, stalling at #71 in the UK and failing to chart in the US. The duo split in 1989 and Haug died following a heart attack in 2004.

2) Double is the stage name for Japanese R&B singer Takako Hirasawa and previously was a duo consisting of Hirasawa and her sister, Sachiko. “Shake” was the duo’s highest charting single (#21 Japan). After the death of her sister in May 1999, Takako continued as Double and is regarded as one of the first artists to bring American-style R&B to Japan. She also portrays a sexualized image, a rarity for Japanese artists.

Won't you tell me
How you gonna be my baby
If tried, I could drive anybody really crazy
But I cry again and again to make you love me
Tell me now just how you're gonna be my baby
I'll give you my love just put your trust in me
いつでもどこでも必要だって
毎日だって会いに行きたいって

胸の中で叫んでも
声にしてそう体中で
愛を感じさせたい
If tried, I could drive anybody really crazy
But I cry again and again to make you love me
Tell me now just how you're gonna be my baby
I'll give you my love just put your trust in me
微笑みだってそう泣き顔だって
全て欲しいそう願ってるから
見つめあって伝えたい
瞳からそう指先から
愛を感じさせたい
