Don't be shy, straighten up your tie
Get down from your tree house, sittin' in the sky

Oh, that's the delightful Bewitched with C'est la vie @CoffeeBeansGalore.

When you ask me do I mean it?
You have to know
You are the only one
You ask me if it is forever
How can I show?
There's no comparison

Mid 90's

Well the phone don't ring 'cause my friends ain't home
I'm tired of being all alone
Got the TV on 'cause the radio's playing songs that remind me of you

Baby when you're gone - Bryan Adams and Mel C

CoffeeBeansGalore · 06/07/2020 14:08

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never

1980s

Summer of ‘69 - Bryan Adams

I now detect an alien vibration here
There's something in the air besides the atmosphere

Late ‘70s

She's a trusting soul
She's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you
What you should do

Is it right or wrong
Try to find a place
We can all belong?
Be as one
Try to get on by
If we unify
We should really try

'92

Fleamaker123 · 06/07/2020 15:57

Before you point the finger
And hope the whole thing disappears
Remember empty words will fall
And fall upon the deafest ears

1987

I know this one (gutted to have missed so many today). Is it called lucky number? The lyric goes "my lucky number's one) and there's this ooo ooo ooo ooo (low, high, low, high)

Dont know who sang it

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 06/07/2020 16:44

Honey - I can't believe I missed the mission!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 06/07/2020 16:47

Flea is your top one let's come together (right now)? As usual, can think who sang it

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 06/07/2020 16:47

Can't!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 06/07/2020 16:52

And its half past four and I'm shifting gears
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above

Early 79s is the version most people know, but I got to know it from an 80s cover.
50 bonus points to anyone who can name both bands

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 06/07/2020 16:55

"I wasn't really sure what was going on"

80s

Fleamaker123 · 06/07/2020 16:56

Correct @ProseccoBubbleFantasies
Come together, The Beloved
