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

*mI don't wanna tie you down but it'll
Feel so good with you around

mI don't = I don’t

@KatherineJaneway Bucks Fizz?

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 23/06/2020 21:42

I agree with coffee. I think it's a piece of the action. Its def not run to you, and I can't think which wham song it might be?

Annoyed I can't get Honey's. I feel I should know it, but I can't seem to reach it.
Honey, btw, the one you thought was free falling is I feel love. Other people got there

Ah I feel love. I’d never have got that!

Right - more lines from mine. (it’s been done already on previous threads and it got guessed quickly- I must’ve picked a tough line!)

It’s not the things that you say
It’s not the things you do
It must be something more
And if I feel this way for so long
Tell me is it all for nothing
Just don’t walk out the door

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 23/06/2020 21:48

Send it off in a letter to yourself

70s. Mid?

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies that’s Tie a Yellow Ribbon but as usual I don’t know the artist!

xsquared · 23/06/2020 21:59

Dawn and Tony Orlando for Tie a yellow ribbon.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/06/2020 22:01

@Honeyroar, blast you beat me to that one!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/06/2020 22:07

From the shores of Spain
To the coast of Southern France
No matter where you hide
You just can't escape this dance

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 23/06/2020 22:11

Spitting image. I hate to say it, but I brought the single cringes

@coffee is that the Chicken Song?

(another bloody ear wig for bedtime! Surely that trumps Don Quixote!)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/06/2020 22:20

@Honeyroar. Yes. All together now . . .

Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose

Ok here's a nice one.

On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue

shinynewapple2020 · 23/06/2020 22:33

Carpenters - close to you @coffee

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/06/2020 22:35

Honeyroar · 23/06/2020 22:41

Come on you lot. Guess mine before I go to bed! I added a whole verse now.

Fucking bloody hell! I bloody LOVE MN. But one REALLY galling thing is when you write a post on a thread and then a PP comes along, quotes or paraphrasing you, and you then read a gazillion posts marvelling at the brilliance of someone whose just said what you did after you said it.

Well, not on THIS thread. Just look 2 posts up. I said spitting image first!
