80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 6

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

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.

@shinynewapple2020 - yep! 💔😘

A crash of drums
A flash of light
1990s

Hello @CoffeeBeansGalore and thanks for starting this new thread. I would miss them (and all of you) if they stopped. I vote once we’ve exhausted every song ever recorded in the history of time we just go back and start again - bit like I do when I watch The West Wing

@CoffeeBeansGalore it’s from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. Is it called I closed my Eyes?

I remember - it’s Any Dream Will Do!

@Fleamaker123 you are welcome, and yes totally agree!
Correct, Any dream will do 👍😁

A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh

I'm thinking of the 80's band, although just found it was written in 1939 pop-pickers...

@SingingBabooshkaBadly - yes these threads are like The Hotel California - we can check out any time we like, but we never leave... (in a good way 😂)

@NeedToKnow101

Tight fit, lion sleeps tonight

@CoffeeBeansGalore
Think that was from @SingingBabooshkaBadly

But yes I agree! I'm enjoying listening to some of these songs again.

@Fleamaker123 👍🏼

Apologies, misread. Was trying to do 2 things at once 🙄

Anyone want a go at this?

All over the nation there's a brand new craze
You see it going on where the music plays
It's funky and it's punky and it's impolite
You can do it by day but it's better at night

1990s (I apologise now)

That old dog has chained you up, alright
Give you everything you need to live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside an empty rage
I had a dream I was your hero
1990s

When the sun shines on the mountains
And the night is on the run
It's a new day, it's a new way
And I fly up to the sun...

I'm just a bird in the sky!

1975

I’ve no idea who sang it, but that’s Una Paloma Blanca. I loved it as a kid!

Una Palma blanca Can't remember who sung it.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly I think we already have repeated a fair few. Most of us don’t actually notice- especially me!😃

Yes @Honeyroar and @Willow2017
Paloma Blanca by George Baker Selection

Happy little song... God we were easily pleased back then

There was also a version of una paloma blanca by Jonathan King around the same time

And I've got that bloody song found round and round in my head now!!

Oh, it's the last time
Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before

An ear worm to take it away then

1980s

The lovely beach and the sky
The moon of Hawaii

@Willow2017 yes but @Honeyroar already got it

He's exploring
The taste of her
Arousal

(saucy!)
