Nobody got mine yet?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 06/07/2020 18:19

Sorry, @Willow2017, haven't a clue on yours. I'm not doing well today 🙄

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies 19. Paul Hardcastle?

I was surprised you didn’t get The Mission. Wasn’t it you said your first boyfriend said that (rank) Love me Tonight was your song? I had a revisit and it’s erm..! I typed the whole bloody song too!🤣

Interested in this thread?

Yes, honey. He did. Blush
I did split up with him when I was 19.

I must've missed your posts, I guess, because i do (did) know their songs quite well. Blame the Wine.

Well done for getting the paul hardcastle. I thought that was hard.

Willow, will have a look for yours. I missed everything today

Saw him live once. He was great fun

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.

While looking for willow's post, I noticed a typo on this. Not 79s. Early 70s

Is that life is a minestrone 10CC?

Fleamaker123 · 06/07/2020 18:59

Yes @ProseccoBubbleFantasies

CoffeeBeansGalore · 06/07/2020 19:25

😁

I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
1975

70’s I think

My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut

I used to have demons
In my room at night

Original from '86 then covered in the early 90's

I remember that song coming out when I was in primary school and I didn't understand it at all as I had no idea what minestrone or lasagne was!
ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 06/07/2020 20:23

Well done shiny. Google told me 1973.

But I know the ghostdance version better, which is 80s.
You do not get the 50 bonus points, I'm afraid
