Anyone still want to play?
Try and guess the 80s song from the lyrics

Don't want to talk about the weather
Don't want to talk about the news
Just want to get to the real you inside

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 11/06/2020 07:22

Is that I'd like to get to know you well by howard jones, Katherine?

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 11/06/2020 07:30

I'm afraid I don't know who dean Friedman is, Tilly, I just know the song. I did once get bruchen muchen gladbach (so!) in a pub quiz and got lots of kudos points cos I'm known for knowing nothing about football, but I knew the name cos of that song. It's the only German football team I've heard of! (I don't even think it was the right answer in the quiz! People were just amazed I knew it)

Your lyric is lloyd Cole. Lost weekend.

I cant remember if weve had this one before, but
my baby may not be rich
he's watching every dime

KatherineJaneway · 11/06/2020 07:41

It is Prosecco Smile

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 11/06/2020 07:41

And I'll leave you with an easy one

when the mirror crashed I called you

KatherineJaneway · 11/06/2020 07:42

Denise Williams Let's Hear it for the Boy? Is that right Prosecco?

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 11/06/2020 07:43

Oh phew, Katherine. I wasn't sure, cos I remembered the words slightly differently!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 11/06/2020 07:43

Sorry it's by Berlin and thanks prosecco - for doing an easy one I can finally get!

Loneliness is your only friend
A broken heart that just won't mend
Is the price you pay

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 11/06/2020 09:18

Riftgibbon, yes, correct!

RiftGibbon · 11/06/2020 11:28

It is, Prosecco :)

How about this one?
I don't like you
I don't like your town
I don't wanna like you
I'll shop around

That was quick, Honey!

Honeyroar · 11/06/2020 12:14

Though you might not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she’s gone?

RiftGibbon · 11/06/2020 12:19

Now that we're here
Let's open that wine
I, I could talk to you anytime
You've always been at the back of my mind

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 11/06/2020 12:55

Tell her about it, Bully Joel, Honey

Fleamaker I feel I know yours, but can't reach it

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 11/06/2020 12:58

It's time to get out, step out into the street

Fleamaker123 · 11/06/2020 13:22

Fleamaker123 · 11/06/2020 14:19

They don't know about us Honey? Can't think of singer, though. Big empty stage????????

Oh!!! Tracey ullman. Got there!

MrJolly, I must admit I was miles away, I was singing it in a boppy boy band thing in my head, so I was nowhere near!
