The song was by a one hit wonder group. If I remember correctly the song came out in the 80s and the two leads were men. One was Black and the other was White. The song had something to do with living in New York.
I remembered some more of the song.
"Living in New York, looks like an apple core. Asphalt jungle..." ( I can't remember what comes after that.) A friend said he knew what I was talking about but couldn't remember the song. He said it was a remake of "A Fly Girl" or had the same music as the song. I'm sure it's been 20 years since the song came out. It was the only song by this duo. I was told that the guy wasn't White but Hispanic.
i was thinking guns and roses - welcome to the jungle . .
but it doesn't fit your extra details.
