I put two up, no-one know them?

NeedToKnow101 · 04/07/2020 10:46

I used to think you were on my side
But now I'm no longer sure
Arghh and that one!

That was easy, once I googled it Grin

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 04/07/2020 10:48

[quote NeedToKnow101]@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - thanks though, I was feeling a bit out the loop so am honoured to get my own song even though I don't know it!

I'm so crap at this even though I bought Smash Hits through the whole of the early and mid 80s Blush[/quote]
Needtoknow, TRUST ME, even though we don't know each other, I promise you know the song.

Do you want more lines? If I give them to you, you'll get it instantly. V v v popular (with girls) band from the 80s.
Birmingham band....

@NeedToKnow101...Sorry I had a look at yours and would have to resort to Google which seems like cheating...

Honeyroar · 04/07/2020 10:49

I used to think you were in my side one is Baby Jane by Rod Stewart (not sure if it’s been guessed previously- I’m easily confused when a lot are posted at once!)

Honeyroar · 04/07/2020 10:53

Hold me in your arms and squeeze me one is Janet Jackson When I think of you.

I'm racking my brains... what's the link with my username? Put me out of my misery Grin

Not lyrics!![/quote]
Fleamaker, Flea is the bassist with the red hot chili peppers, and I think he wrote a lot of their stuff too

NeedToKnow101 · 04/07/2020 10:56

Honeyroar - correct!

NeedToKnow101 · 04/07/2020 10:58

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - Coffeebeans got yours - Duran Duran.. Something I should know... then I knew it! Grin

(Nothing to do with my username lol)

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 04/07/2020 11:03

Googling is DEFINITELY cheating and kind of defeats the point.

No one knows every single song, and sometimes you can recognize the lyric but not place it.

But it doesn't matter. None of us has anything to prove. And we're all awesome at this.
Collectively, we're incredible!!!! (At a completely useless thing!) But these threads have given me very much joy and pleasure over the past few weeks. So thank you, everyone 🥰

Slade.
I knew Baby Jane too but thought it was for Katherine!

NeedToKnow101 · 04/07/2020 11:28

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - Absolutely! ❤️❤️❤️

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 04/07/2020 11:35

It was for katherine, willow. I think her username also has jane in it.

Doesn't matter that you got it though

Devoilmum · 04/07/2020 11:52

Sorry, no idea on mine Confused

shinynewapple2020 · 04/07/2020 12:06

Wow so much has been posted since I last looked on here. Trying to catch up.

Babooshka - I don't think anyone has got this from earlier about drinking just champagne - it's Kraftwerk - She's a Model

shinynewapple2020 · 04/07/2020 12:07

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

This one is for shiny:

Loving a stranger
Is fearing from danger
Is crying in some avenue
And soon the hate will be there

80s

Was this one for me? I don't think I know it . Anyone else?
Fleamaker123 · 04/07/2020 12:20

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies
Completely agree... This thread is a tonic Smile

Honeyroar · 04/07/2020 12:26

Oh sorry I didn’t realise Baby Jane was for Katherine, didn’t realise there was a connection!😊

Honeyroar · 04/07/2020 12:32

No idea what shiny new apple’s dedicated lyric is.

xsquared · 04/07/2020 12:52

Is it something by Bananarama?

Fleamaker123 · 04/07/2020 12:53

She wanted to be Betty Grable
But now she sits there at that beer stained table
Dreaming of the things she never got to do
All those dreams that never came true

'77

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 04/07/2020 12:56

That’s Pear’sa Singer by Elkie Brooks Fleamaker

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 04/07/2020 12:57

Pearl’s a Singer even!

Honeyroar · 04/07/2020 12:58

Xsquared did you guess mine for you? Was it that you thought was Bananarama? It’s not - there’s a square in there somewhere..
You might think I’m crazy
But I don’t even care
Cos I can see what’s going on
It’s........ (title of track!)
