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

One more heartbeat and you walk the wire
Why wait? Ooh, it's too late to put out the fire
Almost strangers, can you stop deceiving
Start believing

Somebody I never met but in a way I know
Didn’t think you could get so much from a picture show

One of my favourite lines

Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square, do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair?
By the way, didn't I break your heart....

(Too easy I'm sure)

BendandBreak · 08/06/2020 22:31

Lol, thank you honey :)

Honeyroar · 08/06/2020 22:34

Down in the street there is violence
And a lot of work to be done

@RiftGibbon - has anyone got the hip hop one? Is it Fresh Prince or Dougie Fresh?

RiftGibbon · 08/06/2020 22:46

Needto it is Doug E Fresh. Do you know the song? I think it was one of the first hip-hop things I heard.

BendandBreak · 08/06/2020 22:46

These are heavy times, all clamps and parking fines, there's too much north there's too much south, there's too much of the knaves versus the spades

NeedToKnow101 · 08/06/2020 22:49

The first place it was used was over East London
It was respect for the different style pronunciation
But it wasn't really used by any and any man
Mi say strictly conman, also the villain

lilgreen · 08/06/2020 22:50

Still no takers for this? I’ll add a bit more:
The ladies love me, girls adore me, like even the ones that never saw me ...,

NeedToKnow101 · 08/06/2020 22:53

Rift - I think it's 6 minutes? I often sing that bit when I'm boiling an egg 😂😂

NeedToKnow101 · 08/06/2020 22:54

Lil, that sounds like LL Cool J, but that's just a wild guess...
