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.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies yes definitely fond of a bit of punk & new wave.

Annoyed I wasn’t quick enough with the 80s cover of Radar Love - GhostDance - from earlier this thread (Or an even earlier one - can’t keep up) as I didn’t think anyone else had heard of them!

Wildly enthusiastic after two of you got PIL, I'm optimistically trying you with

I don't believe illusions 'cause too much is for real
So stop your cheap comments
'Cause we know what we feel

70s

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 17/07/2020 20:08

That was me, Paw. I put that one up! Eeek. gets overly excited
I can't remember who got it, but they knew the golden earring version, not the ghost dance one, I think.

Ok, I put these up on thread 1 or 2, but no one got it, so I gave up. (not these lyrics, as we were strictly 80s then, but same group)

I dont even care if I look a mess
Don't wanna be a sucker like all the rest

1980 (apparently. Thought it was earlier)

Interested in this thread?

I guessed Radar Love on another thread but I had never heard of Ghost Dance , only knew Golden Earring

PawFives · 17/07/2020 20:22

Smash it up?

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 17/07/2020 20:33

screams Yes!!!!!

I think I put up lyrics from Eloise, which is my least favourite damned song, but did, at least, chart. I got told quite politely and rather apologetically that there weren't any damned fans on the thread, so I put that part of me aside. Which is fine. I like loads of other stuff too. I just came to the sad conclusion there are no damned fans on MN.

You didn't make me good you just painted me green
You made me part of your forgotten dream

Just popping in to say hello happy teachers!😀

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 17/07/2020 23:43

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

I pull my eyes out, hold my breath and wait
Did you miss this one, honey?

(I'm not a teacher, btw, but I do work in schools and have their holidays. I'm v v lucky!)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 17/07/2020 23:44

@shinynewapple2020 Yes, sugar, sugar 😁👍
@ProseccoBubbleFantasies Did pinky and perky do pour some sugar on me, coffee? (I know it isn't that!) 🤣🤣 I wish they had! It was Sugar, Sugar on one side & Yellow Submarine on the other 😊

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 17/07/2020 23:47

Pinky and perky sang yellow submarine???? #headexplodes

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 17/07/2020 23:49

Well done, lovely.

Sorry, I got into a bit of an overly excited punk vibe tonight. Over it now

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 17/07/2020 23:50

This little girl inside me is retreating to her favourite place

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 17/07/2020 23:56

So I'd like to know if you got the notion

CrepuscularCritter · 17/07/2020 23:59

Bring on the punk (former owner of a pink mohican here, albeit briefly, as I couldn't afford the upkeep in products). But maybe tomorrow, as this week has worn me out.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 17/07/2020 23:59

I've changed my life completely
I've seen the lightening leave me
My baby just cant take her eyes off me

Turn bad

What has happened to it all?
Crazy some'd say

Honeyroar · 18/07/2020 00:10

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies that’s Duran Duran Ordinary Day

Honeyroar · 18/07/2020 00:12

70s = Blame it on the boogie

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 18/07/2020 00:17

Ordinary world blushes slightly on Honey's behalf

But both correct. You can have the points
