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.

Ah here's one from the 80s..

Fortunately you have got
Someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in

NeedToKnow101 · 20/07/2020 08:17

No-one got my 70s one from yesterday so I'll add a bit..

The game he plays he plays for keeps
Hustlin' times and ghetto streets
Tryin' ta get over
(That's what he tryin' to do, y'all)

NeedToKnow101 · 20/07/2020 08:47

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - correct!

Fleamaker123 · 20/07/2020 09:18

Another vote for before 00 here too, I'm rubbish with pretty much everything after then! Although like Prosecco says, maybe we could sneak in a few 60's maybe?

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 20/07/2020 10:04

Yes, if we’re expanding the criteria I’d favour going the other way and adding the 60s rather than 00’s.

Well done KatherineJaneaway Smile But I will refrain from my (limited) noughties knowledge!
Prosecco yours was Fall at your Feet by Crowded House

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 20/07/2020 10:05

Yes, Iggi

NeedToKnow101 · 20/07/2020 10:06

Yes I'd rather expand to 60s if anything too.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 20/07/2020 10:06

It's that time of year again
I can taste the air

90s

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 20/07/2020 10:07

Can’t believe I missed Fall at Your Feet. I love that song.

You're the answer
To all of my dreams

1970s, (thought it was the 80s until I checked 🤔)

I don’t think I’d want 60s or 00s. 70-90s gives a wide enough spectrum, surely?

Honeyroar · 20/07/2020 10:36

Hey how you doing?
Sorry you couldn’t get through

Barry White, First, last,my everything?

Fleamaker123 · 20/07/2020 10:45

@Honeyroar
Is that Stars across the moon, Wah Band??

Honeyroar · 20/07/2020 10:49

No neither of those (wow I’d forgotten Stars across the moon!)

Fleamaker123 · 20/07/2020 11:08

How could you forget that TOTP performance! The tin foil and the wig Grin

Was Stars across the moon being sung by a breathy platinum blonde girl?
