Grin @Iggi999 - thought you were revealing your unrivalled knowledge of every song that had ever been in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Yes to you and @Willow2017 - All Kind of Everything and January.

Iggi999 · 23/07/2020 15:45

Well, she's from my home country and a bit of a legend in Ireland Grin so we would remember even if she hadn't won tbh!

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Needtoknow is the last on dr dre? Let me ride.

And your theme is cars/trafffic/roads.

So on the same theme:

80s
I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I wanna take shelter from the poison rain

This one is U2 Where the streets have no name

Interested in this thread?

Yes, shiny.

Now I know you're Irish, Iggi, I'll read your posts in an Irish accent.

And isn't at least one of the regulars from scotland. Is that coffee? I seem to remember mention of it earlier on another thread?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/07/2020 16:40

@VictoriousSockPuppet I live in Scotland but was born in England so no Scottish accent. My children on the otherhand . . . 😊

It’s the first Eurovision I can remember watching Iggy (I would have been about five). I loved the song!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/07/2020 16:48

Here are the last lines of my outstanding one:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I want to ride it all night long
(Yeah, I want to drive it all night long)
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long
All night long

Grin I live in Scotland Victorious so you'll need to imagine some weird hibrid accent Grin

Fleamaker123 · 23/07/2020 18:09

Well it's a long way up and we won't come down tonight
Well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

'99

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 23/07/2020 18:39

70s
Candlesticks, building bricks,
Something old and new.
Memories for you and me.

80s:

She's sound asleep and she's sweeter now
Than the wildest dream could have seen her
And I Watch her slipping away

90s

Now the morning breaks in showers, I guess
We'll remember this all of our lives

SingingBabooshkaBadly I think the first one is Junk, by John Denver

CrepuscularCritter · 23/07/2020 19:39

Babooshka "Dont be cold, dont be angry to me" Pilot - January?

CrepuscularCritter · 23/07/2020 19:40

Oops...Just seen Willow already spotted it

@ThatLibraryMiss

SingingBabooshkaBadly I think the first one is Junk, by John Denver
@ThatLibraryMiss. Yes, it’s Junk. It’s actually a Paul McCartney song and I had no idea John Denver had covered it.

Yes to January @CrepuscularCritter 👍🏼

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 23/07/2020 19:46

I didn’t link to say Wink

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 23/07/2020 19:48

Typo - meant to say like to say. And was replying to @CrepuscularCritter, not posting a really obscure lyric!

CrepuscularCritter · 23/07/2020 19:49

One of mine outstanding from yesterday with extra lines:

I recall how the darkness doubled

I recall lightening struck itself

I was listening, listening to the rain

I was hearing, hearing, something else

Clue: think guitar

Honeyroar · 23/07/2020 22:43

The 80s one is AHA Hunting high and liw

Honeyroar · 23/07/2020 22:43

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/07/2020 23:27

Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me

The French one from NeedtoKnow is Sexy Boy, Air. I only ever could figure out the first line of the words in French & have never bothered to look them up but now I know, thanks!
