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

@Honeyroar - yrs! Maybe Juan was her brother 😁

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/06/2020 20:42

Doh! *Yes

The sun's bursting in,
It's a bright, sunny, morning.
This time I'm not gonna hide,
Gonna feel what it's like, to wake up in the morning.
With someone who really loves me deep inside.

Female singer along the lines of Donna Summer, Janet Kay.
Starts slow, bursts into a fantastic dance number.

Only problem is I have been trying to find this track for 30+ years so can't tell you the title if I wanted to. Took the 12inch to a party and never saw it again.

Interested in this thread?

Look all around there’s nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead there’s nothing but blue skies

Released in the 70s and the 80s. Bonus points for both singers and another for the film!

The film was ~Cool Runnings but I don't know the other singer.

You should see me, when you're not around. I'm a genius in this town.
Love this!

They were brilliant in concert last year.

Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is

Coffee- it's Bruce Springsteen - dancing in the dark

@Honeyroar hothouse flowers covered I can see clearly in the late 80s

Willow2017 · 21/06/2020 21:56

Mr Hetfield's turn now😁

Willow2017 · 21/06/2020 21:57

Poker??? Poker???

Honeyroar · 21/06/2020 22:28

@Devoilmum I never knew that. The other one I was thinking of was Johnny Nash.

Honeyroar · 21/06/2020 22:31

Love this one from the 90s

And if you think that I’m losing my way
That’s because I’m slightly blinded
And if you think that I don’t make too much sense
That’s because I’m broken minded

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/06/2020 22:35

@shinynewapple2020 👍

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/06/2020 22:38

The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink , then they give you more

1980s

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/06/2020 22:42

I love that song too, Honey. Kind of nirvana-esque. But not nirvana.

Is it called inside?

Destroyedpeople · 21/06/2020 22:42

It was only the 'oh whey oh' that gave it away..
'Walk like an egyptian' the bangles. ..

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/06/2020 22:43

Coffee yours is walk like an Egyptian. The bangles.

I wouldn't have got it without the oh way oh!
