Song from 1980s?

I had a difference of opinion with a mate about the existance of a song from the 80s called either "life is life" or "live is live"

My mate insists there was such a song and I insist there wasnt. Also google seems to agree with me but my mate is absolutely certain of it.

So I thought I would ask the experts!!

There certainly was, think it was by a group called Opus.

Your mate is right.

It was 'Live Is Life' by a band called Opus.

It was dreadful.

Seemed to hang around the charts all summer in 85.

And I think it spent something like 13 weeks at number 1 in their native country (was it Austria?)


Why do I remember such useless trivia?

I loved this song at the time, the other big hit when Live Is Life was in the charts was Rhythm Of The Night be DeBarge. What a cracking summer!!

After reading this topic I just had to search You Tube and here it is....

I have fond memories of this song. I remember travelling (by car) all over Europe with my parents that summer and only had one C90 tape for my walkman. 'Life Is Life' was on that tape. Must have listened to it a hundred times whilst sweltering in the back of the car.

Thanks for finding it again 2Legit2Quit. Good memories.
