@chickenbutt  Maybe you are thinking of The Wanderer by Dion DiMucci, released in 1988:

 

Oh well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are well, you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer, yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around.......

Yes!  That's the one.  Thank You!     

 

Geez, looking at those lyrics it doesn't seem like a very nice song.  But it is a catchy tune - for its time I suppose.  Smiley Happy

@chickenbutt  You're welcome. Yes, I thought the exact same thing about the lyrics!  🤔  Compared to some of today's songs and videos, I suppose it's not so bad though.

@golding76   "mature posters"  LOL  Very sensitive.Woman Wink

 

I was a toddler so I do not remember it back then but I went to Youtube and the chorus "Valderi Valdera" (whatever) struck a memory.

 

A happy song but not one I totally remember.
