@VictoriousSockPuppet

Thanks for the new thread, coffee. Can't believe we filled up the last one.

I don't see to know any of the offerings on here, so instead I'll give you

All alone ain't no fun so you're looking for the thrill

Bless you and bless me
Bless the bees
And the birds

'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right

Easy 80s, all

First one is It must be love - Madness (originally Labi Siffre)

Second is Material Girl - Madonna

That’s it @shinynewapple2020! It was called Anne and Joe and was by the Barron Knights. They did quite a few parodies of big hits, if I remember rightly.

VictoriousSockPuppet · 27/07/2020 19:41

70s
All the ladies fell for Rudolph Valentino
He had a beano back in those balmy days.

Blimey! There's a lyric

So never judge a book by its cover
Or who you gonna love by your lover
Love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a Venus
Lord, imagine my surprise
80s

Aerosmith - Dude Looks Like A Lady

It’s the ‘wish I had my radio one’. I’m sure you know it...
SingingBabooshkaBadly · 27/07/2020 19:47

‘Wish I had my radio’ - not my radio one 🙄

VictoriousSockPuppet · 27/07/2020 19:48

Ah. Thank you, lovely.
And dream of sheep. Gorgeous KB.

VictoriousSockPuppet · 27/07/2020 19:49

Found it before your prompts. I just hadn't read your post properly. Sorry.

Do you want more Rudolph Valentino lyrics? You'll have an ear worm all night....

Tony and Cleo struck out for the free down Egypt's way
But Caesar had squeezed her in Rome on his quilt for a day.

70s.
