Songs from 70s, 80s 90s.

No 2 is REALLY hard, because when you read the first line, you can only hear dusty Springfield, which I know it isn't!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/07/2020 09:26

Oh, sorry. Just realized katherine got eternal flame before me. I only noticed she got robbie Williams

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/07/2020 09:27

60s
I know you're not good for me, but free of you I'll never be, no
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep

70s
He gave her his darkness to regret
And good reason to quit him
He gave her a roomful of Chippendale
That nobody sits in

80s
They tried to break us
Looks like they'll try again

90s (just!)
Gonna stamp out your fire, he can change your desire
Don't you know he can make you forget you're a man

NeedToKnow101 · 21/07/2020 09:34

morning!.. I'm so crap at guessing so I've posted loads of songs instead, to try and hide my inadequacies..

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/07/2020 09:35

(I've been walking the streets at night)
Just trying to get it right
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd

80s

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/07/2020 09:36

The 3rd one is wild boys, duran duran.

Need to mentally sing the rest to get to title!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/07/2020 09:36

Morning all

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies No, sorry not David Essex. I see what you mean about Dusty, but again no.

We like having loads to guess, needtoknow, so thank you.

What kind of music do you like?

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/07/2020 09:38

I did know they were both wrong, coffee. Heigh ho.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/07/2020 09:38

@NeedToKnow101 ooh, that forget you're a man is playing in my head but the name is just out of reach!

@Needtoknow101 the 90s one is the Happy Mondays isn't it? Was it called Step on?

Honeyroar · 21/07/2020 09:40

“They tried to break us” is Wild Boys by Duran Duran

Honeyroar · 21/07/2020 09:41

Oops Prosecco got it already.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/07/2020 09:44

Is the second one Joni mitchell? I can hear her voice. But not the song title.

If not her, someone folky-y, hippyish. Definitely female

Honeyroar · 21/07/2020 09:44

Step on - Happy Monday’s (forget you’re a man).

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/07/2020 09:45

Sucks to be you, Honey Grin

NeedToKnow101 · 21/07/2020 09:45

Yes yes to Wild Boys Duran Duran and Step On by the Happy Monday's.. ✅✅🙌🏽🙌🏽

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - I have a varied music taste, but on here, the ones I know I always seem to miss, and when I'm on it's always the ones I don't know! My cross to bear I suppose 😂😂

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/07/2020 09:45

I'll add this bit . . .

But there's just one thing
You don't have to say
You don't have to say you love me
And you don't have to say any prayers
No you don't have to say you love me
Baby it's alright
Cos . .

The first one is nowhere to run. Don't know who sung it.

Oooo. Our first 60s one. How exciting

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/07/2020 09:47

But he can't be a man cos he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me

60s

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/07/2020 09:50

Coffee, that doesn't help. With the new first line I'm singing who's that girl by eurythmics

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/07/2020 09:51

Needtoknow, tell me some stuff you like and I'll drip it in over the next few days.

Is it "I'm you're man"?
NeedToKnow101 · 21/07/2020 09:59

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - yes to Joni Mitchell and also to Nowhere to run.. you're halfway there Grin
