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

I keep being tempted to cheat... (me, not a lyric).

NeedToKnow101 · 19/07/2020 20:49

1970s...

The man of the hour
Has an air of great power
The dudes have envied him for so long

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 19/07/2020 21:01

I thought I had a heart of stone
But now I'm in the danger zone

1970s

Have just had a wine-fuelled dance around the room to this (possibly more information than you need or want Grin)

@singing - I have no wine or any other alcohol in the house, but I do need some... so definitely more info than I want!

Fleamaker123 · 19/07/2020 21:11

You dance to the music like nobody does
The first time I saw you, I knew it was love
You're the one that I want
You're the one, yes, you are

Cuba - is it The Gibson Brothers ?
Honeyroar · 19/07/2020 22:08

I’m dancing round the room to Cuba, but I think Babooshka is dancing to Red light spells danger by Billy Ocean (can’t get Carshare out off my mind when that comes on!)

Fleamaker123 · 19/07/2020 22:35

Well done, yes it's Cuba, Gibson Brothers
Can't help but dance to that one!

Evening all

We are once again heading towards a full thread. Have a think about the criteria for thread 7. Do we continue 70s, 80s, 90s. Do we add the noughties? Opinions please 😊
Happy to continue as OP, but if anyone else fancies a go, please do say.
And obviously keep bopping around the room to your favourites 😁

Gosh they go quickly these threads, don’t they! (Not meant to say gosh apparently, theres a thread about it!🤣) I really don’t mind who is OP, I don’t think it matters, it will tick along, so whoever is there when a new thread needs setting up just do it? No pressure or obligation?

Willow2017 · 19/07/2020 22:52

Carry on Coffee you are doing an excellent job thanks.

Whatever folks want is fine but I suspect i will be crap at 00's😄

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 19/07/2020 23:36

Honeyroar - I also always think of Carshare when I hear it!

Coffebeans I’m with Willow - happy to go with the majority but will be truly crap at 00’s - I’m too old! As long as there are still a few older ones in the mix I’ll be happy though...

😄 Tbh, I feel like that too, especially when I realise that something from the eighties can be upto 40 years ago!

Is that the Nolans attention to me
Yes that's the one Smile

@CoffeeBeansGalore can we stick to pre 21st century please? 00s and beyond is far too new for me!

Iggi999 · 20/07/2020 00:17

I'm just going to leave this here (2000 - sorry! You will know it)

I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 20/07/2020 00:45

Cuba???? I always thought it was Aruba Grin

What a lot of dancing there has been tonight.

I'm another one voting for coffee as OP, but any of us could do it.
I'm quite good at 60s, just sayin'

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 20/07/2020 07:55

I had to google it to see if I knew it. Proved how rubbish I am at 00’s stuff. Of course I know the song but I never would have identified it from those lines. Old. Very, very old...🙁

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 20/07/2020 08:07

Try these....

Let it go
I'll be there when you call

90s

NeedToKnow101 · 20/07/2020 08:12

Morning! I'm not on this much anymore but I'd rather stick to pre-00 too... won't get any new ones unless they're Amy Winehouse!
