You walked in, I woke up
I've never seen a pretty girl
Look so tough, baby

Honeyroar · 25/07/2020 12:02

Prince. You got the look?

Fleamaker123 · 25/07/2020 12:13

Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why

idlevice · 25/07/2020 12:27

That's Sharp Dressed Man, ZZ Top. They're a guilty pleasure of mine Blush

Honeyroar · 25/07/2020 12:33

You can’t not like them Idlevice. Their music was good and they seemed like they had a sense of humour!

idlevice · 25/07/2020 12:33

About time I posted one to guess having been a guesser so far Smile

Walking about with a head full of music
Cassette in my pocket and I'm gonna use it

80s obv, early

Honeyroar · 25/07/2020 12:34

Is it Cliff’s Wired for Sound? I used to love that.

idlevice · 25/07/2020 12:40

Yes! It's not a bad track but the lyrics won't make any sense to the young uns today Grin

Iggi999 · 25/07/2020 12:43

Cassettes? Wires? GrinGrin
There must be other songs like this - though some young'uns still use vinyl don't they?

Honeyroar · 25/07/2020 12:43

No! I used to love some of his boppy 80s tracks as a tween.

Fleamaker123 · 25/07/2020 13:06

Yes @idlevice
I loved ZZ top...anyone remember the dance to gimme all your lovin? Grin

Fleamaker123 · 25/07/2020 13:09

One for you Honeyroar...

I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what I came there for
