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

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

Can't remember the band but I met one of them in someone's kitchen in the 80s

The Whole of the Moon band you mean ssd? It was The Waterboys

Yes it was a guy with long dark hair

Coffee, is that a rod Stewart song?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 12:25

@ssd No, not Rod Stewart, sorry

Honeyroar · 13/06/2020 12:27

I’ve come back to a list of single lines. Not even sure which are questions and which are answers!!

I’m laughing at myself at Highway to the Dangerzone. I always heard it as halfway to the dangerzone!

With an endless desire, I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 12:32

@Honeyroar Youtube Peter Kay lyrics, funny!

ssd · 13/06/2020 12:37

@Honeyroar, it was the driving reference that threw me Grin

Honeyroar · 13/06/2020 12:38

@coffeebean that’s Knew You were Waiting by George Michael and Aretha.

Yes I could give Peter Kay some new ones!

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

People love this song. I loathe it personally, but

I'll face it like a fighter then boast how I've grown

Fergal Sharkey, A good heart

Tis the lucky lucky penny penny penny
Buys the pearly to their souls

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 12:58

More to my one yet to get

In the end two hearts will meet
And maybe they'll find whatever they seek

If they can, they'll learn how to keep
The faith that they found in the sound of the beat

@Honeyroar

I’m laughing at myself at Highway to the Dangerzone. I always heard it as halfway to the dangerzone!
And I always heard it as "I went to the dangerzone", so I am more rubbish than everyone!

Cocteau twins ssd
Pearly snowdrops drops.

That's a blast from the past!

Don't think I know yours, coffee

Honeyroar · 13/06/2020 13:07

@prosecco 🤣 well he obviously mumbled his lyrics if we both heard it wrong!

I think this is a hard one (although you lot are REALLY good). I'd say most people know most of the lyrics to this song, except possibly the line

But you never cried to them, just to your soul

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 13/06/2020 13:10

And it's a shit song anyway, Honey!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 13:12

Ok, this will give it away . . .

Small town xxxxxxxxxxxx
Radio 'bout to blow
Top down under the lights
Feel the heat, wild and sweet

Small town boy, Bronski beat
CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 13:14

And sorry, yes to George Michael, Knew you were waiting

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 13:16

@ssd any chance of another line or clue?

KatherineJaneway · 13/06/2020 13:17

I do like Kenny Loggins

ssd · 13/06/2020 14:26

Coffee, next bit...

And as he jump the puddle
To try to turn to loving this.
Where still I am on my stuff
So when he turned around he saw

It's a hard one as the lyrics aren't clearly sung, very breathy..

ssd · 13/06/2020 14:28

Apologies @ProseccoBubbleFantasies

You got it!
