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

I've got one:

Crazy sheep you are the odd one out,
crazy sheep show them what you're all about.

No that's wrong - it goes Oh what fun we had, did it really turn out bad .... Can't get to the title though

Babooshka. The clash!!!!! Very, very oddly, I didn't get at all first time round, but totally got from your prompt. Train in vain. I like the clash!
Well done. Would have put money on you getting that one 😊
ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 25/06/2020 18:39

I like a bit of punk!

Well done willow/shiny. You do have to sing right to the end to get to the title.

Bloody hell, not sure I know the sheep one. Is there a decade?

My eyes wide open
I feel a breeze
Words softly spoken

Thanks, Fleamaker123. Let's try this:

And please do not ever look for me, but with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song blowing by one day.

Then you judge the look by the lover

He sure has acquired this kinda cool
And inspired sorta jazz when he walks
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans?
Well, this ain't healthy, it is some kinda clean

Hi peeps. Am regular here but have nc to ask for advice - I've to write a music quiz and I'm looking for songs from 70s, 80s or 90's that have strong intros that people might recognise them from. I've the added worry of trying to look cool (ahem) while not making them too obscure! Any ideas would be welcome Smile I only need half a dozen
