The song, “In Demand”, is a swipe by its protagonist (represented in the first person) at a former lover who once dated and then dumped her, but has made a concerted effort to win her back after she has found both fame and the love of another – now that she is “in demand.” The singer makes it clear that she does not trust the ex’s motives, thinking that he only wants her back because he is jealous now that she is not his. The single was accompanied by a music video which starred Alan Rickman alongside Spiteri.
Boy Meets Girl – Waiting for a Star to Fall
Waiting For a Star to Fall is a song released by the pop duo Boy Meets Girl in 1988. It was a worldwide hit, and became the duo’s signature song. The song was inspired by an actual falling star that Shannon Rubicam had seen at one of Whitney Houston’s concerts at the Greek Theatre. Initially the duo did not consider to record it, and instead submitted the song to Clive Davis for consideration on Houston’s next album, but he rejected it, alleging that it didn’t suit her. The song was then offered and recorded by Belinda Carlisle for her 1987 release Heaven On Earth at the insistence of her label. But Carlisle disliked the song, and she ultimately refused to include it on the album, though it has circulated in her trading circles for years on a disc of that album’s outtakes.
