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

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies 👍

Oh Ffs I missed Metallica???😭

My sails tonight are filled with perfume of Shalimar,
And temple bells will guide me to the shore.

he sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all the questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking

late 70s

Got to keep on dancing, keep on dancing
Got to keep on dancing, keep on dancing

@Needtoknow101 First one's Rod Stewart - Do ya think I'm sexy

xsquared · 26/06/2020 21:42

@needtoknow101 is the second one Chic? It sounds like the sort of thing they would sing!

shinynewapple2020 · 26/06/2020 21:43

Second ones Boogie Nights -
Need to think who sung it

shinynewapple2020 · 26/06/2020 21:43

It might be Earth Wind and Fire ?

NeedToKnow101 · 26/06/2020 21:50

Yes to Boogie Nights, but not got the band yet...

NeedToKnow101 · 26/06/2020 21:52

shinynewapple2020 yes to the Rod Stewart one.

Who's watching Glastonbury?

Honeyroar · 26/06/2020 21:55

Nobody got this one from the late 80s

He’ll leave you black and blue
He’ll rip you right in two
He’ll wake up in the morning and say who the hell are you

wowfudge · 26/06/2020 21:57

No one's got mine from earlier:

You need a friend tonight
'Cause someone broke your heart in two
You need a volunteer
To wipe away your tears

Honeyroar · 26/06/2020 21:58

Aw I missed most of it and it’s Beyoncé next, and I’m not bothered about her. Stones are good.

Honeyroar · 26/06/2020 22:02

I couldn’t get that wowfudge. I even googled it out of exasperation and just got links to getting over heartbreak and counselling!🤣

On shadowed ground, with no one around
And a blanket of stars in our eyes
We are drifting free, like two lost leaves
On the crazy wind of the night

1980s

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 26/06/2020 23:20

Far too smashed to guess ant lyrics unless they're completely obvious.

Here's some for people less drunk than me...

Got nervous when you looked my way
But you knew all the words to say

2001

Lately I have desperately pondered

1996

Pungent smells they consummate my home
Can't seem to google the year. Sorry

Honeyroar · 26/06/2020 23:21

That’s Slow Hand but not sure who sang it.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 26/06/2020 23:21

We thought about someone else, but neither one could debate
We thought about breaking up, but now we know it's much too late

CoffeeBeansGalore · 26/06/2020 23:22

@Honeyroar yes, Pointer Sisters.

Honeyroar · 26/06/2020 23:26

@coffee your new one is Stuck with you by Huey Lewis.

I’m off to bed before you post tonight’s earwig!😝

CoffeeBeansGalore · 26/06/2020 23:39

@Honeyroar correct. And I have absolutely no intention of posting any earworms tonight 😁

Goodnight!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 26/06/2020 23:41

But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then!

xsquared · 27/06/2020 00:06

@coffeebean that's "All coming back to me" by Celine Dion originally by Pandora's box I believe.

KatherineJaneway · 27/06/2020 07:44

She's a very special girl,
From her head down to her toenails
Yet she'll wait for me at backstage with her girlfriends,
In a limousine.
