CFNY Era Mystery Song

I received this email and am wondering if someone can help ID the song. Has a Flock of Seagulls vibe. Some people in the comments mention the Church but it does not sound like them to me. I belive I have just one tape that I recorded that actually has any Great Ontario talent Search contestants and that is from 1983.

My name is ____t.  I am trying to identify an unknown song that was recorded off CFNY in 1984 or 1985.  It is suspected that it is an entry from their 5th annual “Great Ontario Talent Search”, the first round of which ran from October '84 through February '85.  I was wondering if you might have any info which might help (recollections of bands that entered the talent search, notes, recordings, etc.).

Here is a Youtube link to the song:

Re: CFNY Era Mystery Song

Almost sounds to me like a fusion of BOC's "... Reaper", and "Happy Birthday Kid" from Geoff Hughes.  I'm not able to recognize this track.

According to Shazam, this song is “Central Inevitable Agency” by Paradox V2. Shazam is your friend!

Oh see, I thought that was already attempted.  I would not have thought in this day and age that anyone would even ask without trying Shazam first.
