@ProseccoBubbleFantasies that’s Bros I owe you nothing (the 22” we microwaved, played frisbee with and drove over several times but it wouldn’t break and still played when I was at college!!🤣)

The dogs lay at your feet
While we caressed your cheek
Well stars wrapped in your hair
(90s just!)

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 11/07/2020 23:24

It matters to me a LOT needtoknow, on a pointless thread with no prizes, but huge amounts of smiles!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 11/07/2020 23:35

Well done xsquared

A spirit stronger than war was at work that night
December 1914 cold, clear and bright
Countries' borders were right out of sight
When they joined together and decided not to fight
1990s

Right, before I call it a night-ish, I'll leave you this beauty....

And I don't wanna be your second choice
Don't wanna be just your friend
You keep telling me that you're not in love
You wanna throw it all away

80s 🤢

Honeyroar · 11/07/2020 23:38

No I got my street cred back by reminding you we tried our upmost to destroy the Bros record (we spent half a day trying various hysterical things!). As a student household that had just discovered The Cure we trashed everything trendy in my friend’s record collection, but Bros just wouldn’t die!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 11/07/2020 23:40

Coffee, I know it isn't, but those lyrics remind me of that paul McCartney song where England and germany play football across the trenches at Christmas

Honeyroar · 11/07/2020 23:40

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies it’s I can’t stay away from you by Gloria Estefan. I actually loved that one too!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 11/07/2020 23:40

And I don't wanna be your second choice
Don't wanna be just your friend
You keep telling me that you're not in love

Gloria Estafan, Can't stay away from you?

Whoops, sorry @Honeyroar, cross post Grin

The lines may have been too easy @ProseccoBubbleFantasies but @Honeyroar beat you to it! 😂😂😂

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 11/07/2020 23:42

Honey and coffee, you both plumbed the depths of acceptability

And you're both right.

I sense we're going to need a lot of indie tomorrow to make up for all this pap!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 11/07/2020 23:42

But no, not Pipes of peace 😊
