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.

Double Lyrics

Sometimes it's hard to
understand
Boy, do you think you know
where we stand?
Uh, baby baby
just look in my eyes
What you say makes no sense,
Just realize

Though you
and I we think we're very true
it doesn't mean that
I belong to you
一番近い世界に星が降って欲しい
一番近いあなたをそう信じ続けたい
Never wanna fight tonight baby
Wanna make it right tonight baby
今夜は wow wow
Never wanna fight tonight baby
Wanna make it right tonight baby
今夜は Make me happy
I'm not as helpless as you think
How come you feel like
I don't know anything?
When you decide that
you don't need me.
don't blame it on me, no, no, no
一番近い世界に星が降って欲しい
一番近いあなたをそう信じ続けたい
Never wanna fight tonight baby
Wanna make it right tonight baby
今夜は wow wow
Never wanna fight tonight baby
Wanna make it right tonight baby
今夜は Make me happy

初めて会った時のようにあまく
感じて感じさせて強く強く
Never wanna fight tonight baby
Wanna make it right tonight baby
今夜は wow wow
Never wanna fight tonight baby
Wanna make it right tonight baby
今夜は Make me happy
Never wanna fight tonight baby
Wanna make it right tonight baby
Never wanna fight tonight baby
Wanna make it right tonight baby
Make me happy
Make me happy
Never wanna fight tonight baby
Wanna make it right tonight baby
Never wanna fight tonight baby

Wanna make it right tonight baby
Make me happy
