Sorry lilgreen that's not correct.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 17/06/2020 08:00

Of course it is! Well done lilgreen.

I couldn't think of a single one last night. Must be losing it

lilgreen · 17/06/2020 08:03

Is it not @KatherineJaneway? Has the same lyrics as Dub be good to me. Beats International DH tells me.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies there are so many on here I don’t know!
Here’s one before I go to work:
“When I met you in a restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante”

lilgreen · 17/06/2020 08:06

Oops soz it’s 1979!

wowfudge · 17/06/2020 08:06

SOS Band - Just be Good to Me. 1983?

Beats International Dub be Good to Me was 1990.

lilgreen · 17/06/2020 08:09

Yes Grin The SOS Band sung the original, released 83 I think.

Dub be good to me was released in 1990.

Afternoon all! My next offering:

But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your
Sunglasses on baby

KatherineJaneway · 17/06/2020 14:51

Don Henley - Boys of Summer

NeedToKnow101 · 17/06/2020 14:52

But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your
Sunglasses on baby

My favourite ever summer song.. Boys of Summer by Don Henley

Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place

CoffeeBeansGalore · 17/06/2020 15:03

One of my all time favourite's too 😊

That’s Woman in Love by Barbara Striesland.

I love Boys of Summer too.

I thought it was clear the plan was we would share
This feeling just between ourselves

Our love's a storm in disguise, it's alright
I couldn't keep away if I tried, understand, it's in your hands
