Don’t know anything about it, but this is what Grok says,

quote:

The song you’re likely referring to is “Stay” by Shakespeare’s Sister, a female pop duo consisting of Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit. Released in 1992, the song was a major hit, reaching number one in the UK and charting globally. The lyrics include the line, “Under the stars, under the moon”, which directly references both celestial bodies. This fits your criteria of a late ’80s to early ’90s female pop duo with a song mentioning the moon and stars.

LeAnn Rimes - "Cant Fight the Moonlight"?

Is a great song, was absolutely HUGE in Europe in late 1991 into 1992 right when I was getting stationed there but not sure if that is the song the OP means:

oh, you mean the song that was being sung by that girl you met wearing a yellow bikini 25 years ago?

I have no idea but it's obvious the girl made more of an impression on you than the song she was singing.

I feel like this is that old show “Name That Tune” where they give very little background on the song and then try to guess the song in a few notes (I think it was on the piano). It seems impossible with the limited info then one contestant says he will name it in three notes. They play those three notes and he comes up with the song……..

Haven't got past the part about a gal in the yellow bikini,

When the sun goes blue by the corrs?

Essentially yes but the girl in the yellow bikini was singing a pop song that I had heard before but was a few years old at that point
