Yep, you were right (I had to do some surfing) but it was Marietta, and she did it on the Top Gun soundtrack.
but that was a remake. The Smashing Pumpkins also did a remake of this song. The original artist still escapes me (though I have their tape somewhere).
Here are the lyrics (sorry for deviating so wildly from the thread topic):
life is so strange
when you don't know
how can you tell
where you're going to
you can't be sure
of any situation
something could change
and then you won't know
(you ask yourself)
where do we go from here?
it seems so all too near
just as far beyond as i can see
i still don't know what this all means to me
i have nowhere to go
i don't know what to do
and i don't even know the time of day
i guess it doesn't matter anyway
life is so strange
destination unknown
when you don't know your destination
something could change, it's unknown
and then you won't know
destination unknown
(and then i ask myself)
when will my time come?
has it all been said and done?
i know i'll leave when it's my time to go
???? what i know
life is so strange
destination unknown
when you don't know your destination
something could change, it's unknown
and then you won't know
destination unknown
life is so strange, life is so strange

I think that's who originally recorded the song.
