@Honeyroar

Cars - Drive

I’m a bit drunk too @NeedToKnow101! Just taken redundancy after 23 yrs in the job today and feeling a tad emotional!

Aw @Honeyroar ! Are you ok? Can you relax and enjoy life (and the 80s music thread more importantly) now? Xx

I'll have another drink to keep you company ❤️

VictoriousSockPuppet · 31/07/2020 23:17

Yes honey x 3

You ok, love?

NeedToKnow101 · 31/07/2020 23:19

80s underground disco club classic with a twist...

You know you and I were together
I was so in love with you
But there was a little bit
Too much sugar and you were little too sweet
But then was a little bit
Too much sugar and you were too sweet

For honey

In the same boat as a lot of your friends
Waiting for the day your ship'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna run your way

80s

Go for it, coffee. That bloody woman has got there before me too many times!

VictoriousSockPuppet · 31/07/2020 23:38

Also, it's not very apt for her situation

Honeyroar · 31/07/2020 23:39

I don’t know it anyway!😃

CoffeeBeansGalore · 31/07/2020 23:39

9 to 5, Dolly Parton 😁

Honeyroar · 31/07/2020 23:42

It wasn’t really 9-5 anyway. This was more relevant....
(90s)

Let’s go and see the stars
The Milky Way
It could be ours

CoffeeBeansGalore · 31/07/2020 23:42

Bang, just one touch and all the church bells rang
Heaven called and all the angels sang
Sunrise shine in the midnight sky, oh oh

For @Honeyroar

Who's looking good today?
Who's looking good in every way?
No style rookie
You better watch don't mess with me
No moneyman can win my love

1989s

My Dolly Parton scarecrow for a village scarecrow trail last year (they all have to wear donkey masks)

VictoriousSockPuppet · 31/07/2020 23:44

Ok. These lines really ARE for honey...

I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
60s or 70s, not sure

You can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell
60s and 80s

We'd like to be unhappy, but
We never do have the time

Honeyroar · 31/07/2020 23:45

Coffee’s is Zoom - Fat Larry’s
Need to’s is Buffalo Stance - Nena Cherry

NeedToKnow101 · 31/07/2020 23:45
