You're right Steve.  Remembering back to the '80's when they played the single a few times on the radio they said the title meant "You and me both".  I was such a MWH fan I picked up the 7" single just to have it.

I know only a little bit of German, but I can tell it's not a direct
translation because where Ivan sings "Safety Dance", that's where this
version has "Nur Wir Zwei". "Nur Wir Zweit" loosely translates to "only
we two".

My ear isn't good enough to pick out the rest of the lyrics, save for
an "alles klar?" there toward the beginning...

So how do I go about getting a copy of "Sounds Familiar"? E-mail me
privately at steve.jackson@onebox.com and maybe we can work something
out.

Take care,

Steve
