can you help me name this falsetto pop/rock song? (programming.dev)

chorus keeps repeating "dubia, ooh dubia" (something I didn't get here) "dubia ooh dubia, that's what I'm talking abouuuut'

if not dubia, maybe nubia or nuria or buria, seems to be an American singer.

it's not the bee gees and I believe is from the 80's. Melody is: d c c, e d c d c c, f f e f e f e d d, d c c, e d c d c c, f f e f e f g, a a g a g f g, f f e d e f g...

singer sounds a bit like Eddie Holman (hey there lonely girl)

ETA: solved, Robin Gibb‘s song Juliet

No idea on the song, may have better luck identifying the singer, and working backwards from there? Maybe something by Fine Young Cannibals? Certainly the most notable falsetto that comes to mind for that era for me.
