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

Actually it's pearly dew drops drops, but gold star anyway Grin

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 14:41

@ssd Not the one I was thinking of, but glad someone got it!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 13/06/2020 14:42

Of course it is! My bad Blush
Although, in my defence, I don't think I've listened to the spangle maker for over 30 years!!!!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 14:44

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard

Oh, I used to love the album Pearly Dew Drops Drop came from but I’m not sure I ever knew he lyrics!

I’m failing abysmally at thinking up something a bit more challenging. I clearly only do very obvious!

Fall be free as old confetti
And paint the town, paint the town

😊

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 13/06/2020 16:28

Bleeeeuuuurgh! Prefab sprout. 🤢

Going into Saturday evening I give you all this ear worm....

Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 13/06/2020 16:32

You lot are too good!

No idea of yours Prosecco.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 13/06/2020 16:33

A name for what you lose
When it was never yours

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 13/06/2020 16:43

Scritti politti. Absolute? Saw them a year ago next saturday sobs for life now gone.
I said this on the first thread, but green is no longer pretty, which is also sad

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 13/06/2020 16:44

Not absolute!

My mistake.

Word girl.

Sorry!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 13/06/2020 16:46

Mine is super boppy, Babooshka. Once it's been got, you'll be singing it all night.

But that's ok, cos it's a fab song!

shinynewapple2020 · 13/06/2020 16:48

Coffee - yours is Journey don't stop believing

ItsLateHumpty · 13/06/2020 16:51

Hey! Hi!

I can’t believe I never saw you guys before - where’ve I been?!

Don’t you tell me no, but it’s my party?

My Qs is
“You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becomin' of me“

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 16:52

@shinynewapple2020 journey, yes.

Any guesses on my previous? Mainstream pop . . .

All I can see is Hot Summer Nights - Miami Sound Machine?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 16:57

@ItsLateHumpty Yes!

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 13/06/2020 16:57

I think I need another clue Prosecco.

You’re right - and Green is no longer pretty but tbh he’s not looking bad for his age (64) and he seems very nice - I met him last year.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 17:01

@ItsLateHumpty hmm, next line?

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 13/06/2020 17:05

He's 64??????? Shock Shock Shock Shock

I assumed he was about 3 or 4 years older than me, so definitely not older than mid 50s. He looked about 17 back in the 80s. I guess run-in will do that. Bloody hell!

How come you met him?

ItsLateHumpty · 13/06/2020 17:07

I can’t do one, it’s too delicious so...

You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becomin' of me

Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean

ItsLateHumpty · 13/06/2020 17:07

I’m in my v own mosh pit 😂

Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

Do you lot seriously want another clue for this????

I thought it was super easy.

V v boppy. You just want to dance your arse off to it.

ItsLateHumpty · 13/06/2020 17:10

And ooo @ProseccoBubbleFantasies I left a mini clue in my last asking a question with a hint maybe .... reposting

“Don’t you tell me no, but it’s my party?“

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 17:12

@Prosecco it's only easy if you know it Grin
