[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Ok folks here we go again!

Post a few lines of lyrics & let the rest of us have a go at guessing the song & artist.
Songs from 70s, 80s 90s.

I know that one, coffee, especially those last 2 lines, but can't reach it atm.

And - doh - with bare naked ladies

Ooh! Spotted one. Rapper’s Delight by Sugarhill Gang (my best friend is word perfect on this one - highly entertaining when she’s had a drink or three)

@SingingBabooshkaBadly - yes! well done! 🙌🏽

I have a friend who can rap The Message by Grandmaster Flash, word perfect and almost without breathing! 😂

Also I meant the same as you.. I don't even get them. Although I was on a roll a couple of days ago..

Où sont tes héros
Au corps d'athlète?
Où sont tes idoles
Mal rasés, bien habillés?

One fine day I'm gonna be the one
To make you understand

Chocolate always helps, Babooshka 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫

I find if you read with the wrong emphasis, you don't hear the song in your head the same way.

So if you read
Summer lovin' had me a pla-a-n

As, for example
Summer LOVIN' had me a plan

You don't recognise it, even though it might be a song you know really well

@NeedToKnow101

Où sont tes héros Au corps d'athlète? Où sont tes idoles Mal rasés, bien habillés?

Is that Comment te dire adiue by Jimmy Sommerville?

@NeedToKnow101

Où sont tes héros Au corps d'athlète? Où sont tes idoles Mal rasés, bien habillés?

Where are your heroes With the body of athletes Where are outlr idols Something something well dressed

????

If it's not je t'aime, joe le taxi or je ne regrettes rien, I'm not sure I know it

@Fleamaker123

One fine day I'm gonna be the one To make you understand

'65

Is that not one fine day? (Girl group)?

No Victorious sorry

Next line

Oh yeah
I'm gonna be your man

@VictoriousSockPuppet and @xsquared - no sorry. It's 90s electronica if that helps...

How about Encore une fois by Sash?

@VictoriousSockPuppet - yes agree reading with the right or wrong emphasis I key. We did a Zoom music quiz with a guess the lyrics round. It’s so hard to read lyrics aloud without giving it away - you have to make a really concerted effort not to read with the exact emphasis you’d use to sing it.

@VictoriousSockPuppet. Hi, had a quick google. You can leave your hat on was originally done by Randy Newman in 1972. The Joe Cocker 1986 cover was used in 9 and a half weeks, and then the Tom Jones version was used in the Full Monty in 1997 😁

(Early 70s)

Dances
Romances
Things of the night

(Mid 70s)

Don't be cold
Don't be angry to me. You make me sad

(Late 70s)

seems to me you fill the skies
I'm far below

@xsquared - nope!
Some of the lyrics are in English, but they're also the name of the song so I can't divulge them.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly is the first one the Nolans?

Not the Nolan’s @CoffeeBeansGalore, sorry.

Autocorrect keeps adding random apostrophes...

Dances
Romances
Things of the night

All kinds of everything
Dana
(Mid 70s)

Don't be cold
Don't be angry to me. You make me sad
