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

The mirror stares you in the face and says, "Baby, uh, uh, it don't work"
You say your prayers though you don't care; you dance and shake the hurt

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay

The passion's so complete
It's never ending
As long as I receive
This message you're sending

Willow, boogie wonderland. Is the group earth wind and fire?

Katherine, yours is 80s isn't it? Woman with a deepish voice? Tell it to my heart. But can't think what singer's name is

Here's some more lines to one no one got yesterday
90s

(Can't do same verse as it gives title, but from later in song)

Well he said he'd show you his bed
And the delights of the chemical smile
So in your broken home he broke all your bones
Now you're taking it time after time

You got the better of me

Yay, glad someone got Republica- it was from the Scream film.

I can’t get any of the outstanding ones.

Honeyroar · 21/06/2020 09:16

That cute way of talking is Leo Sayer Feel like Dancing

Honeyroar · 21/06/2020 09:16

Is the “taking it time after time” one Suede? Animal Nitrate?

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/06/2020 09:23

Yes and yes Honey.

Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again

@KatherineJaneway @ProseccoBubbleFantasies
Is it Taylor Dayne? Tell it to my heart?

I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothing if you got no one

Islands in the stream! I’m on a roll!🤣
(can’t believe I didn’t get the Suede one earlier, I loved that song!)

Honeyroar · 21/06/2020 09:36

90s
He’s refined, sublime.
He makes you feel fine.
Though very much maligned and misunderstood

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/06/2020 09:37

@KatherineJaneway Yes 😊

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/06/2020 09:41

Hopes dashed to the floor
Like shattered teenage dreams
Boys living next door
Are never what they seem,

1980s

Honeyroar · 21/06/2020 09:52

@coffee that’s Bananarama Robert Denero’s Waiting

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/06/2020 09:56

@Honeyroar 👍

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/06/2020 09:58

Humidity is rising (uh rising), barometer's getting low (oh low, girl)
According to all sources (what sources now)
The street's the place to go (we better hurry up)

1980s

Honeyroar · 21/06/2020 10:08

It’s Raining Men. The Weather Girls.
(Loving you’ve got backing singers too!)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/06/2020 10:25

@Honeyroar Thank you, and of course correct 😊. You are definitely on a roll this morning!

Honeyroar · 21/06/2020 10:28

It won’t last! I could hardly get any yesterday.

Willow2017 · 21/06/2020 10:30
