80s Lyrics Thread 3

[Honeyroar]

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

honeyroar that's driving me bananas! I'm sure I know it....in the meantime

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore, east to Yuendemu
The Western Desert lives and breathes
In forty-five degrees

Beds are Burning by Midnight Oil

wowfudge super speedy, well done

You’re going to be mortified if you have to admit to guessing mine.

Kind of has a SAW/cheesy soap star feeling to it Honeyroar

It’s probably the worst one yet for dreadful songs! But it’s a clue anyway..

@Honeyroar

Nothing that you can say Will change how I feel today I know that we’ll never part

Is it nothing's going to change my love for you?

Can't remember who sang it

Nothin' can stop this burnin'
Desire to be with you
Gotta get to you baby
Won't you come, it's emergency

@prosecco No it’s not that Glen Maderas or something?). That’s a high quality song compared to this! This involves a tv character...

@KatherineJaneway is that Pretty Young Thing by MJ?

Honey It is!

Worse than Glen Maderas, you say???

Is it worse than fantasy island (which was on the last thread)

TV character? It's not the theme tune from Minder. Hmmm.

Is it Mr Blobby????? Or Rowland Rat?

Russ Abbott?

Much worse than Glen Maderas. Think children’s character. Not Russ Abbott.

@Honeyroar Ok, just remembered something from my dim & distant childhood (I admit to checking & I was sadly correct & did know the song). Can I say, or do I stay schtum as I had to check my memory?

Teenage mutant turtles???

Do it, Coffe and put us out of our misery.

We need more lyrics

It was . . . . Keith Harris & Orville the Duck - I Wish I Could Fly.

I will now slink away in shame

Correct @Coffee! 🐥🤢 🏆 trophy for knowing the crap song! 👏👏

Apologies everyone I’ll pick something suitably good next to compensate!

😂😂😂😂

Well, of all the voices I tried singing those lines in my head, I have to say a man pretending to be a green, nappy-wearing duck was not one of them!

I step away from the thread for a day and this is what happens?

@singingBabooshka in my defence, it’s the only one I’ve put up that’s lasted longer than five minutes!

Here’s a better one. Not sure it’s a single, but you’ll know it.

Whisper my name and I yearn
You take me in your arms, start to burn

Ooh! I do know it. But I don’t know it! Hang on it will come to me (about three minutes after someone else posts the answer!)

Aargh! This is so frustrating!

In the meantime...

There's no doubt, not when I'm with you
When I'm without, I stay in my room

(Most of mine have been guessed straight away as well @Honeyroar - apart from the Alec Camera that inexplicably hung around for ages)
