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

Is it Celine Dion think twice??

Fleamaker123 · 23/06/2020 10:16

Being the fool I am
I figured in all your plans, darling
Your perfumed letters didn't say
That you'd be leaving any day

Honeyroar · 23/06/2020 10:30

No not Celine - its a group from the 80s.

Yours is the wonderful So You Win Again by Hot Chocolate.

Yes @Honeyroar, great song

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 23/06/2020 12:45

Yes, Secretmeetingsundertrees!

Prosecco you didn’t think you knew the song - What Do I Do Now by Sleeper - but you love Elvis Costello you might know his version - if not do look on YouTube. It’s lovely. Very different to the Sleeper original - which is also great but just different.

I’ll look up the Alan Parsons Project one when I’m feeling a bit stronger emotionally! They are one of those groups whose name I know but couldn’t tell you anything about them. I might know more of their stuff than I’m aware of.

She's so bold and me feeling old, just stroking her face.

1970s

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 23/06/2020 16:37

I'm not jumping to any of the outstanding ones, so I'll add to one you didn't get earlier

Oooh fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free fallin' free.
Oooh you and me, you and me, you and me you and me, you and me

And because none of you will find that particularly helpful, I'll also give you these lines. Different song, same artist

Lookin' for a liver who needs another
Don't want another night on my own.

Both 70s.

Second song had a renaissance when it was used in a popular 90s (I think) film

A million lights are dancing
And there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me
Eternally

1980

@CoffeeBeansGalore
Xanadu, Olivia Newton John

Honeyroar · 23/06/2020 18:50

I can’t get your free falling one, it just puts the other Free fallin in my head!

Nobody’s got my outstanding one. Classic 80s new romantic track.

And if I feel this way for so long
Tell me is it all for nothing
Just don’t walk out the door

Fleamaker123 · 23/06/2020 18:51

Although it hurts to go away it's impossible to stay
But there's one thing I must say before I go
I love you, you know

1976

Honeyroar · 23/06/2020 19:09

I’m embarrassed to say, but is that Save all your Kisses? Was it Brotherhood of man?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/06/2020 19:15

@Fleamaker123 👍

Fleamaker123 · 23/06/2020 19:27

Yes @Honeyroar
Sorry to inflict that one on you all Grin

Honeyroar · 23/06/2020 19:32

To be fair I adored it when I was about five!😁

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/06/2020 19:36

@Honeyroar Me too! Loved their white jumpsuits. No taste . . . 😁

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/06/2020 19:37

@Honeyroar Few more lines for more of a clue?

Fleamaker123 · 23/06/2020 19:41

@Honeyroar
Yes me too!
