[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.

@Honeyroar

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

Are you "this country"?

@Honeyroar

Is the middle one Under the boardwalk? Last one is Busy doing nothing. Who sang it??

Yes

And don't know!

@VictoriousSockPuppet
We'd like to be unhappy, but
We never do have the time
That's the Two Ronnies 😄

@Honeyroar - your scarecrow is the stuff of nightmares!!!!
Did Wurzwl Gummidge make you redundant?

And correct of course for Neneh Cherry ❤️

The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
80s

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Late 70s

Yes I’m this country- why?

Yes airline!

Originally :Bing Crosby,Cedric Hardwicke,William Bendix
1949!!!

Lol, is it the masks? Last year was Mary Poppins.

@Honeyroar

Yes I’m this country- why?

Yes airline!

I meant the spoof documentary, I wasn't questioning your nationality.

If you've never seen This Counrty, check it out!

I wish I had chocolate.

Not a song lyric, a statement of fact

Correct to Zoom!

You let the people see, just who you wanna be
And every night you shine just like a superstar
That's how the life is played a ten cent masquerade
You dress, you walk, you talk, you're who you think you are

I feel like I’m three posts behind everyone else tonight and everything’s going over my head!😀

I wish I had more wine (usually am just a two glass woman). But then remembered someone made me some vodka! Happy daze.

@VictoriousSockPuppet

You turn me on

80s

@VictoriousSockPuppet that's Alive and Kicking, Simple Minds,

@Honeyroar

Me too! I don't know what's going on!

What's going on?
(Marvin Gaye)

@VictoriousSockPuppet

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

I know the first one ! Can I guess?

I must confess I do a lot of baking with chocolate so rarely without any . . .

Ah Twig, Alive and kicking, of course!
But is there another song that goes “you turn me on, then you’re gone”?

Lol at Needtoknow guessing her own! Good vodka that!😃

Guess Shiny. I don’t know it.x

Is this Street Life? Randy Crawford / The Crusaders

I NEVER know what's going on, but you're all to lovely and polite to tell me.

However, I do think @VictoriousSockPuppetictorious':
We can try to understand
The New York times' effect on man
is the BeeGee's Stayin Alive

How’ve you managed that Twig / having everyone too polite to tell you? Never happens to me!🤣

'I can't do what 10 people want me to do ........,

Is Otis Redding Sitting on the dock of the bay

You're right, twig.

You get the points, but the vibe goes to honey
