Adding to this 80s track:

I hold you, I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl
That's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?

Clue: top producer

Adding another 80s track:

I'll give you television, I'll give you eyes of blue.

xsquared · 29/07/2020 15:54

Yes @Fleamaker123.

xsquared · 29/07/2020 15:55

Let's try another one. I reckon someone on here will definitely recognise it.

Whistling tunes as we hide in the dunes by the seaside.

Brother Pele's in the back
Sweet Zina's in the front
Cruisin' down the freeway in the hot, hot sun

Yes @Honeyroar and welcome back.

I refrained from mentioning @SingingBabooshkaBadly as I'm sure she'd recognise it instantly.

@NeedToKnow101 yours is Ai no corrida (I spent my youth thinking it was I know Corrina!) by Quincy Jones.

Fleamaker123 · 29/07/2020 17:44

Opposite and opposite
Decisions are reversed
Facing one another
With words that couldn't hurt

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

Save a Prayer, Duran Duran.

Fleamaker123 · 29/07/2020 19:26

Just let the crippled ones walk
And let the silent ones talk
Just make the blind so they see
And the sad ones happy

Hello everyone. I’ve missed so much today!

I refrained from mentioning @SingingBabooshkaBadly as I'm sure she'd recognise it instantly.

I did know it instantly @xsquared but how did you know I would? 🤔🤔🤔!

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 29/07/2020 19:51

I could have sworn I posted these lyrics the other day but i can’t find them now. It’s a little alarming if I’ve got to the stage where I’m dreaming about posting on this thread...

It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss wouldn’t you say?

‘90s

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 29/07/2020 19:57

The night is like her lonely dream.

80s but more successful when re-released in the 90s.

Willow2017 just noticed you got Bang Bang. Well done, that one looked like it was going to go unclaimed!

Honeyroar · 29/07/2020 22:12

Oh I’m leaving on that midnight train tomorrow
And I know just where I’m going
