This one just about makes it into the 80s...

Now you're chained to the cooker

Honeyroar, je suis in rock star, the small guy from the rolling stones, who I think dated a 14 Yr old??!!?? Jesus when you think of that now!!!

Iggi999 · 15/06/2020 22:13

I'm going to guess Caribbean Queen? If it's that, it's Billy Ocean

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 15/06/2020 22:25

If it's the pina colada song, I think it's billy Joel. But I don't think it's the pina colada song, and I thought that was 70s anyway???

Honeyroar · 15/06/2020 22:32

It is Je suis un rockstar by Bill Wyman.

I know ssd, I’ve no idea how half the Rolling Stones aren’t locked up, especially him!! Even in this song (which I loved) there’s a line about everyone thinking she’s his daughter, and he sings it with a smug smile in the video!

Ps, was he the small one? I’ve met two of them and they were teeny tiny! And bonkers.

I don't think Keith Keith Richards is especially tall.

I've just googled the pina colada song, (very carefully not looking at the lyrics) and it's not barry manilow or billy joel. It's someone I've never heard of and it is 70s.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 15/06/2020 22:37

Happiness and sunshine

CoffeeBeansGalore · 15/06/2020 22:37

A bit more of my previous:

I can't explain, I don't know just how far I have to go
But darling I'll keep the key, xxxxxxxxxxx

Yes I know, what I'm asking is crazy
You could go and just get tired of waiting
But if I lose your love torn out by my desire
That would be the one regret of my life

ssd · 15/06/2020 22:39

I think Bill wyman was tiny but that's maybe because mandy Smith was very tall.... For 14 Shock

Honeyroar · 15/06/2020 22:39

I met Charlie Watts and Ronnie Woods at work and they were much smaller than me (I’m 5’6!). And so skinny. But very funny and down to earth.
