JoBoxers
JoBoxers was a predominantly British new wave group formed in 1982, when former Subway Sect members Rob Marche (guitarist), Dave Collard (keyboardist), Chris Bostock (bassist), and Sean McLusky (drummer) teamed up with American singer Dig Wayne (born Timothy Wayne Ball, 20 July 1958, Cambridge, Ohio). Wayne had previously fronted the New York-based punkabilly band Buzz and the Flyers as Buzz Wayne.
Career
The band's debut single, "Boxerbeat", found success in Britain, peaking at number three in the UK Singles Chart. However, it was their next hit, "Just Got Lucky," that truly broke the band internationally. This single also sold 250,000 copies, made the UK Top 10, and cracked the U.S. Top 40. Subsequent singles "Johnny Friendly" and "Jealous Love" did less well. JoBoxers' debut album, Like Gangbusters, featuring all of the abovementioned hits, reached the Top 20 of the UK Albums Chart. The band released another single "Is This Really The First Time" and a second album Skin and Bone in 1985, but then split up, with McLusky joining Marche and Paul Wells in the indie-dance band called If? and Bostock joining Dave Stewart's post-Eurythmics group, The Spiritual Cowboys.

Just Got Lucky
by: JoboxersYour technique its leaves me weak
My heart knows its the beat I seek
And I found it (just got lucky)
And I found it (just got lucky)
I never worry that your love is fake
I´m free and easy and I´m feeling jake
'Cos I found it (just got lucky)
Oh boy I found it (just got lucky)
'Cos I never felt this way before
Like a dog always begging for more
I´ve been fooled by love so many times
I gave up on all those silly rhymes
Kept my feelings all inside my heart
A locked door, no key was cut, that was to fit
Now I´m such a very lucky guy
Gang way, one side now, come on hear me say
Come on hear me say
We've got the answer and it´s plain to see
That I´m for you and you´re for me
'Cos I found it (just got lucky)
Together we've found it (just got lucky)
I feel a quiver every time we kiss
The sky´s the limit with a love like this
'Cos I found it (just got lucky)
Together we found it (just got lucky)
'Cos I never felt this way before
Like a dog always begging for more
I´ve been fooled by love so many times
I gave up on all those silly rhymes
Kept my feelings all inside my heart
A locked door, no key was cut, that was to fit
Now I´m such a very lucky guy
Gang way, one side now, come on hear me say
Come on hear me say
Just got Lucky
Just got Lucky
Your technique its leaves me weak
My heart knows its the beat I seek
Yeah I found it (just got lucky)
Oh Boy I found it (just got lucky)
'Cos I never felt this way before....
Just got Lucky
