[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Hi All

Thread 6 here we go.

Post a few lines of a song from the 70s, 80s, 90s & we will try to guess the song & singer/band.

Thanks for the thread @Coffee

Yes @CoffeeBeansGalore and @shinynewapple2020... Crystal Gayle, brown eyes blue

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were
(Versions in 60s, 70s, 90s)

[Fleamaker123]

I've got that bloody song stuck in my head now, serves me right

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

@Fleamaker123 I've got that bloody song stuck in my head now, serves me right

Could be worse . . . remember this one

Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a jumbo jet
And then bury all your clothes
Paint your left knee green

[Honeyroar]

Hello!

How sweet it is to be loved by you!

The song is How Sweet it is to be loved by you

But I can't say who sung it at all

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

1980s
He knows just how you feel
The slyest rhymes, the sharpest suits
In miracles made real

[EugenesAxe]

Oh that’s a real song is it? I only recognised it as the song the choir does in American Pie 😆

I’ll volunteer some:

You start a conversation, you can’t even finish it
You’re talking a lot, but you’re not saying anything

[shinynewapple2020]

@coffee When Smokey sings?

[xsquared]

Nobody has got this yet from the last thread:

Cause I'm trying to explain
Something's wrong,
You just don't sound the same.

[Fleamaker123]

Ah yes how could anyone forget...

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Hello @Honeyroar. Yes to both you & @shinynewapple2020. One of the 60s versions was Marvin Gaye. 1971 was Karen Dalton.

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Welcome @EugenesAxe 😊. Your's isn't ringing any bells, sorry.

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

@xsquared Welcome aboard!

1990s

I've said goodnight
Try to sleep tight
Ah just dream of me
Go close your eyes

[Honeyroar]

Texas? I feel the same about you.

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Hello @Devoilmum

Is that Texas, Say what you want?

[Honeyroar]

Oh yes, I think Coffee got the title!

[Devoilmum]
