Hi All

Thread 6 here we go.

Post a few lines of a song from the 70s, 80s, 90s & we will try to guess the song & singer/band.

Second is cars and drive

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies well done to both 👍😊

Coffee, you are an amazing and incredible OP.

But you have no more responsibilities than any of us do. You are absolutely not obliged to keep the thread going.
Please don't feel under any pressure.

Please only do what you feel like doing and enjoy doing. This thread is only fun. No pressure.

I love you for feeling responsible. But you don't have to. Have Flowers for all you've done in the past couple of threads and give yourself Wine Cake Brew, whatever you fancy.

In the next few days, schools break up and lots of our routines will change.

Please don't fret.

Interested in this thread?

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies Thank you. I am enjoying this as a "taking a break" from the everyday stuff, mainly evenings when I can chill out for a bit. I do see it as just a bit of fun, and I love seeing a lyric and it plays in my head! A song will pop up somewhere & I mentally "bank" it for later now 🤣.

Me too. It’s been a lovely distraction through some iffy times. I’ve slowed down a bit as need to think of some new songs! I’ve still got a cheeky Cure song outstanding that nobody guessed.

Iggi999 · 15/07/2020 22:43

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm starting to run out of new ideas for lyrics!

Honeyroar · 15/07/2020 22:46

I’ve just worked out that at six and a half threads with 40 pages on a thread we’ve done 260 pages of lyrics - no wonder we’re running out a tad!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 15/07/2020 22:52

260 pages? Wow 😁. Could always do 80s, 90s, 00s next time?

Think of me babe, whenever
Some sweet-talking girl comes along, singing her song
Don't mess around, you've just got to be strong

xsquared · 15/07/2020 23:00

I joined late but I am glad to have been able to dip in and out of the thread testing my knowledge on pre 21st century pop lyrics and offering a few of my own. Thanks for starting it @CoffeeBeansGalore.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 15/07/2020 23:04

@xsquared thank you. However I didn't start the original. I think I came along and joined on thread 2!

Last one tonight from me. I need some sleep!

You can walk my path
You can wear my shoes
Learn to talk like me and be an angel too

Night all 😴

I don't think the original OP has been around since the first thread.

Sure there will come a time when we'll have to concede that this is done, but don't think any of us are quite there yet.
By then, we will have secret handshakes and code words and all sorts, I'm sure

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 15/07/2020 23:11

Things can only get better.

G'night

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 15/07/2020 23:12

But she only comes when she's on top

Honeyroar · 15/07/2020 23:15

This bed is on fire. Dunno the artist!

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

James - laid

Honeyroar · 15/07/2020 23:16

Who did start it? I can’t remember. Secret handshakes? We’ll be meeting up at 80s fests!

Iggi999 · 15/07/2020 23:26

James, Laid Smile
I think by the end we'll be going "I name that song in one" with clues with the minimum words possible Grin

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 15/07/2020 23:28

Honey, that's the first line. Devoil got it.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 15/07/2020 23:30

The first thread was stated by NotJaneFonda, who I dont think was even posting much by the end of the first thread. Could have NC'd though

Fleamaker123 · 15/07/2020 23:38

Think there's still more lyrics to be guessed... I've enjoyed escaping into the music too! Very inconvenient when work and general life gets in the way Grin

Drinks are

Can you do it from 2 words, Iggi?

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 16/07/2020 00:25

I refuse to believe nobody knows this - have added more and I think these lines might make it a bit more obvious...

Flashback to springtime, saw him again
Would've been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
Didn't, of course, 'til summertime
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
No, this time it was me
Sunburn in the third degree
Now the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it

Iggi999 · 16/07/2020 01:23

Prosecco I'm guessing the drinks are free, in Club Tropicana! Though could be something else!

What about on the Valentine ?
