Put up a line or two from a song for people to guess.

For example:

Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I cant see you

Walking home in her wrapped up world
She survived but she's feeling old

Oh yeah, Babooshka. My bad. No one's got the other one though. One of my favourite 90s songs, by one of the most delicious singers of the era (part of a band/group)

No 1 when I got married. Another favourite

There's nowhere
Unless you're there
All the time
All the way, yeah

You do give off a youthful vibe, Honey although your musical knowledge tells a slightly different story

😁😊My joints in a morning don’t give off a very youthful vibe either, but thank you! It’s a back to your youth kind of thread.
