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.

OP posts:

Singing I thought it was what it was, but I had to google to check so I have ruled myself out SadGrin Would never have known the artist or title but could sing along!

Singing babooshka badly is it Christmas wrapping the waitresses

@Iggi999

*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*
Love will keep up together, can't remember who by. I hear a high voice so could be a woman, could be a man singing falsetto.

There are still two of mine outstanding. Now with extra lines, first from the 70s:

Past or future, here or there
Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me
I hear your voice, it comforts me
In morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me

and from the 80s

With a long and slender body and the sweetest softest hands
And we'll blow away forever soon and go on to different lands
And please do not ever look for me, but with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song blowing by one day

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

What about on the Valentine ?

You're right. Not sure what yours is, though
ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 16/07/2020 08:58

So, a bit inspired by Iggi, can you get these from just 2 words? They're very well known songs.

That's neat
70s

Guilty feet
80s

Dusty land
80s

And if you get this one (it's a bit of a cheat), but if anyone gets it, it's a single letter word so that's super impressive
I-I-I-I-oh-I
70s

Hit me
70s

Going nowhere (x 2)
80s

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 16/07/2020 08:59

Still free
70s, I think. Could be 80s. Covered in the 90s

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 16/07/2020 09:02

Can not change
70s

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 16/07/2020 09:02

Tell me why
70s

Honeyroar · 16/07/2020 09:14

On the valentine is Duran Duran, I think. Union of the snake?

Honeyroar · 16/07/2020 09:16

Guilty Feet - George Micheal Careless whisper
That’s Neat = Tiger Feet Mud

Honeyroar · 16/07/2020 09:16

Dusty land - Rio? Duran Duran

BabyMoonPie · 16/07/2020 09:36

Hit me - Hit me with your rhythm stick by Ian Dury and the blockheads?

Fleamaker123 · 16/07/2020 10:10

Must be the clouds in my eyes

70's

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 16/07/2020 10:16

Fleamaker123 · 16/07/2020 10:21

Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong but now it seems so right

70's

Fleamaker123 · 16/07/2020 10:22

Yes correct Prosecco

xsquared · 16/07/2020 10:22

Still free is Dancing Queen @ProseccoBubbleFantasies

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 16/07/2020 10:47

ABBA, but not dancing queen, xsquared. Try again

xsquared · 16/07/2020 10:49

Take a chance on me.

Iggi999 · 16/07/2020 11:10

Thatlibrarymiss yours was Gypsy by Suzanne Vega.
(Dancing) on the Valentine comes from The Reflex, very close Honey!

So you lot really can guess a song from just 2 words #seriouslyimpressed .
I think the only two outstanding from mine are...

Going nowhere x2
Add from a different part of the song:

No expression x 2

And I-I-I-oh-I
Try from another part of the song: Why-y-y-oh-why
