Right, bored of kylie. Hate that kind of pop. Love this song, though....

I kiss the morning goodbye
But deep inside you know
We never know why

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/07/2020 23:27

Maybe I'm wrong, won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I want to be sure
1980s

Call up, ring once, hang up the phone
To let me know you made it home
1980s

Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
1990s

And I love this song too. This one's for honey

I've heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine

(Not a come on Wink)

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies 🤣 Honey Honey by ABBA!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 03/07/2020 23:37

This one's for coffee, although it's probably more for Babooshka. I don't think I know the song, and I thought I knew everything this artist had created. Google found it for me

Offer me a chocolate,
No thank you, spoil my diet, know your game!
But tell me how come
They smell of bitter almonds?

1978

Just seen that it's from an album I don't enormously care for. I don't think it was ever a single

iknowimcoming · 03/07/2020 23:41

@CoffeeBeansGalore one is part time lover by stevie wonder - love that song and the whole album tbh

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/07/2020 23:42

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies. Very kind but haven't a clue. Guessing it's Kate Bush but really not that clued up on her Smile

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies. One back at you.

These are the days if miracle and wonder
This is a long distance call

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 03/07/2020 23:42

Seen not when.

Yes, honey. Honey honey.

My DD once had to do a dance to that song, and she thought the choreography was way too easy, so deliberately looked as bored as possible. The memory makes me laugh!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/07/2020 23:45

Well done all on Stevie Wonder, part time lover.

Last one very popular with teens. This is the whole verse

Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows
It's a secret no one knows
Oh, no one knows

Yes, coffee. It's a kate bush song. We'll leave it for when Babooshka is next on the thread! But it's for you.

Is there a song with prosecco in the title???? Oh, could be bubble or fantasies.
Curse my versatile user name!

I want to do one for Iggi, but not sure such a song exists.
And JumpedUpPantryBoy (who hasn't been around for a thread or so) is already an homage!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/07/2020 23:48

@xsquared 👍🏆. Well done 😊

You’d have to do an iggypop song or something!

Off to bed singing Barbie Girl!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 03/07/2020 23:52

Here you go, coffee...

With the way that you left me
I can hardly contain
The hurt and the anger
And the joy of the pain

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 03/07/2020 23:53

For xsquared

Now I'm playing it real straight, and yes I cut my hair
You might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 03/07/2020 23:58

That one was 80s, btw
