When you call?

Just the first one oustanding

Is it chanson d'amour by manhattan transfer?

secretmeetingsundertrees · 28/06/2020 13:21

CoffeeBeansGalore · 28/06/2020 13:23

@secretmeetingsundertrees No worries 😊

Fleamaker123 · 28/06/2020 13:24

@secretmeeting
Yes it is, the ra da da was a bit of a giveaway! It takes me right back to the 70's.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 28/06/2020 13:24

Secretmeetings, I think you got the song right but attached it to the wrong quote.

This has got to be wrong, but I think coffee's lyrics are the everley brothers, but that's 1950s
I think it's live hurts.
But that can't be right????

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 28/06/2020 13:25

Love, not live.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 28/06/2020 13:28

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies. Well done. Yes, Love Hurts, originally the Everley Bros but done by Nazareth in the 70s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 28/06/2020 13:29

Sweetness, I like your dress
I love the way you know you're the best

Fleamaker123, yours from the last thread is Under the Moon of Love by Showaddywaddy.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 28/06/2020 14:18

We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is

I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care?

1980s

Fleamaker123 · 28/06/2020 14:43

@ThatLibraryMiss
Yes, Showaddywaddy.. I've seen them live Shock In my defence I was only about 12..my strongest memory of the evening was the really long queue for the toilets in the interval Grin
