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

Last night I tried to reach you
But somehow it wasn't enough

1980s

Nobody got my last one yet?

NeedToKnow101 · 27/06/2020 21:39

Destroyed - of course you did!!! And Quiz - Yes!

Quizhelper · 27/06/2020 22:04

I wonder what you're doin' now
I wonder if you think of me at all
Do you still play the same moves now?
Or are those special moods for someone else?
I hope you're feeling happy now

(90s)

Is that Skunk Anansie Just because you feel good Quiz Helper?

And another 90s, i loved this and i havent listened to it in about 20 years until tonight Smile

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone

Quizhelper · 27/06/2020 22:11

It is indeed xsquared, very quick, though there is another part to the title?

Honeyroar · 27/06/2020 22:11

I’d love the quiz link too, but I’m that thick or pissed I can’t work out how to send a pm first!!

Quizhelper · 27/06/2020 22:20

Haha honey, just click where it says "report poster message poster" (but make sure you message me not report me!!)
I do need an email address, use an anonymous one if you have one in case I'm Brian from Hull in disguise Grin

Honeyroar · 27/06/2020 22:30

Think I’ve done it!🙃

Haven’t been able to get back to the thread since this morning so, finally, here are the extra lines from my two outstanding songs. Pretty sure someone will get them now (unless these songs are figments of my imagination...)

Sacral blues in various hues, she capered to draw me
Me and Yankie, all hanky panky, seldom she bored me
She’s so bold and me feeling old, just stroking her face
Super troubadour, he can show you more than her lace
She took us on a carousel
She made us smile and oh, how we laughed
Together riding on a crest it was swell

and this one:

And he's down on the street, so I throw both his bags down the hall
And I'm phoning a cab 'cause my stomach feels small
There's a taste in my mouth and it's no taste at all
It could have been me, oh yeah it could have been me
Why didn't I say, why didn't I say, no, no, no

Both 70s.

@Quizhelper would it be very cheeky to ask for your intros files even though I didn’t suggest any? I would have (honest!) but I missed that conversation and it was all done and dusted before I had a chance...

Honeyroar · 27/06/2020 23:01

But I’m quite sure that you’ll tell me
Just how I should feel today

Anyone watching Glastonbury? Intrigued by Coldplay. How does Chris Martin stay upright and manage to play the keyboard while rocking so violently on his stool?? And the bass guitar player hasn’t looked up all evening (and is rather lush!).

Honeyroar · 27/06/2020 23:43

Oh and I think we’ll need a new thread soon. If anyone makes one will you please tag me!

shinynewapple2020 · 27/06/2020 23:45

@SingingBabooshkaBadly your first song is Judy Teen by Cockney Rebel

Quizhelper · 27/06/2020 23:46

@SingingBabooshkaBadly it's no bother to me at all, just send me a message with an email - I hope I'm not setting this up to be some great thing though, it's really not! But I do enjoy an intro challenge myself Smile

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/06/2020 23:48

@Willow2017 sorry, not sure where 33 came from 😁

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams.
He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this.

Can't believe this one hasn't been got. Very boppy. Very 80s.

Do you want some more lyrics?

I'm so sorry 23:49OopsIDidItAgain07. I missed your post.
And, of course you are right

@prosecco yes please to more lyrics and yes it’s Blue Monday.

Did the intros go down well at the quiz?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 28/06/2020 00:02

You can't just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
