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

He came to town like a midwinter storm
He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had come for was having some fun

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 25/06/2020 23:46

Cotton eye joe, coffee?

Quizhelper, on top of all the other suggestions, I'd add
9 to 5
Respect (the erasure song)
Wuthering heights
Toxic
Stayin' alive
Blame it on the boogie

All fab intros.

Good luck with your quiz

(And I'm not recommending this, but) there's a damned song called Antipope. Not one of their best tracks, but it starts with someone shouting "Bollocks!"
Which I always find very pleasing

A lady known as Sue
She lived all alone in linley lane
At number twenty-two

In the 70s, where it deserves to stay

Grew up together, two kids in the park
Carved our initials deep in the bark

I'm impressed how quickly some people seem to get them! No one has answered this one yet:

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

I have to block that vile man's voice out and 'listen' to the original. 😉

And when I listened to your heart I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars, falling through your trembling hands

CoffeeBeansGalore · 26/06/2020 00:09

Sorry, last one 1970s.

Oh I forgot to put the song..
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

Willow2017 · 26/06/2020 00:42
