Mum was a Cliff fan . . . . . . 🤣

Would it be Devil woman? Probably the only other one I like other than these two was Carrie doesn’t live here.

Oh heck now everyone thinks I’m a Cliff fan. Streetcred gone again!!🤣

@Honeyroar you'll know this one 😁

Take a look at her hair, it's real
If you don't believe what I say, just feel
I'm gonna lock her up in a trunk so no big hunk
Can steal her away from me

Correct Coffee!
We've just had a little homage to Sir Cliff Grin
Was it you who saw him in concert??

Honeyroar · 25/07/2020 13:45

Haha🤣 it’s the Young ones and Cliff’s Living Doll! I hated it!

Was Devil Woman right?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/07/2020 13:46

@Fleamaker123 yes, I saw him several times (and the Shadows). ........ joins Honey & waves goodbye to street cred . . .

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/07/2020 13:47

@Honeyroar yes 🤣

Fleamaker123 · 25/07/2020 13:49

So sorry Honeyroar, yes it was Devil Woman... Getting mixed up, doesn't take much these days!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/07/2020 13:50

@Fleamaker123 Don't worry! I have to think what day it is at the moment. Heaven help me when we are back at school 🙄

My first offering today 😊

You made me promise to marry you, I made you promise to be my bride
But you were only eight years old and I had just about turned nine
80s

Honeyroar · 25/07/2020 13:55

Yes me too. I’ve been furloughed for 4 months, every day is like Sunday (to quote a song!) I barely even know what month it is. My brain is shrinking, I’m sure. This thread has been a good distraction and made me think! I just need a job that involves guessing song lyrics.🤣

@CoffeeBeansGalore

My first offering today 😊

You made me promise to marry you, I made you promise to be my bride
But you were only eight years old and I had just about turned nine
80s

It started with a Kiss, Hot Chocolate

If we're exposing all our guilty pleasures then I give you:

Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

70s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/07/2020 14:09

@TwigTheWonderKid Correct 👍

OP posts:
SingingBabooshkaBadly · 25/07/2020 14:20

So this is what happens when I’m not around. Everyone starts posting Cliff lyrics...

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 25/07/2020 14:21

Oh, Twig, that’s Copacabana!

NeedToKnow101 · 25/07/2020 14:24

@SingingBabooshkaBadly 😂😂 I know! I kept popping in to see if the Cliff Richard lovefest was over.. it looks safe to return now.

A not Cliff one..

If I knew back then what I know now
If I understood the what, when, why and how

idlevice · 25/07/2020 14:31

Ooops, sorry, I started the Cliff thing! My mum was a big fan too. Here's a stone cold indie classic from the 80s to make up for it (soz if it's been done before):

Sitting lonely on a plastic chair
The sun is cruel when he hides away

NeedToKnow101 · 25/07/2020 14:37

@idlevice - don't apologise! This thread has room for all of our quirks and musical idiosyncrasies, even Cliff!

VictoriousSockPuppet · 25/07/2020 14:39

Needtoknow, is that 20 20 vision?

No idea who sang it.

Tuts disapprovingly at the cliff love in and doesn't admit I'd have got every single one of them.

Street cred secure

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/07/2020 15:02

I love this thread 😄😄😄

Just because we're in our teens
Tell them all, please tell them it isn't fair
To take away my only dream

Idlevice that's the House of Love - was the song Shine on? I can only thing of that or Christine!

Iggi999 · 25/07/2020 15:11

I know Coffees but am waiting for someone else to take the embarrassment WinkBlush

TwigTheWonderKid · 25/07/2020 15:32

Well done Babooshka!

OK, I'll take one for the team Iggi999! It's Donny Osmond's Puppy Love
