it sounds nearly exactly like 'how will i know' by whitney houston, but with a weird nonsense chorus, it has that goofy vibe with the 'shooby doo' male backup singers but its a very powerful female lead like chaka khan, my guess is it's her? it is very 1985 sounding, another cue: let's hear it for the boy by deniese williams. but its more like the whitney song in melodic structure. i heard it on the radio and i couldnt even pick out one good line to remember to google later. HELP

Sounds more like "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" by Cher (1990, but close enough).

Of COURSE! Narada Michael Walden, come on down!

Yes, that one is "Who's Zoomin' Who". The "Ooh Schooby Doo" like is nowhere else, at least not in a song that sounds a lot like "How Will I Know"
