@SingingBabooshkaBadly

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? 🤔🤔🤔!

Because Kate Bush does the whispering "Jeux sans frontiers"

Damn you @Honeyroar .. I would have got that!!! 😂😂❤️

What's this then?...

Should I listen what you say
Or listen what your folks say?
It's a tough decision to make
I don't really wanna lose you
But I don't want your folks to
Turn me over to the hands of the law
80s

NeedToKnow101 · 29/07/2020 23:06

Actually damn you @shinynewapple2020

Evening all!

I can get any of the outstanding ones today.

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Late 80s possibly early 90s

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
80s

I don't care where we go
I don't care what we do
80s

Honeyroar · 29/07/2020 23:18

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 29/07/2020 23:22

Oh, of course, Being with You. I thought that was Smokey Robinson.

NeedToKnow101 · 29/07/2020 23:23

Is the third one Prince; Take me with you?

NeedToKnow101 · 29/07/2020 23:25

Honeyroar · 29/07/2020 23:29

@SingingBabooshkaBadly it probably is Smokey, I get the artist wrong so often!😀

Fleamaker123 · 29/07/2020 23:30

Deep down I'm still confused about you
Oh, yes I am baby
I feel so in love, oh baby
(What can I do) what can I do?
1990

NeedToKnow101 · 29/07/2020 23:31

@Honeyroar - I think i might be right (for once) here....Grin

Honeyroar · 29/07/2020 23:31

Ooh that’s ringing a bell Fleamaker.

Honeyroar · 29/07/2020 23:34

🤣yea alright @NeedToKnow101! We’d already established that I’d got the artist wrong. Now it’s the song as well!!🤣. Two days away and I’ve gone to pot!

NeedToKnow101 · 29/07/2020 23:34

80s dancefloor filler!

Oh something's got me so excited, baby
A feelin' I've been holdin' back so long
You got me shook up shook down shook out
On your lovin' and boy I can't wait to get started lovin' you

CoffeeBeansGalore · 29/07/2020 23:35

This one's still outstanding from earlier

Hey how long I've been waitin' for a love so tender
Hey hey hey how long can I stay without your touch I wonder
You you you you tell me you can ever know oh loneliness
Hey my love no no don't leave me on my own please
1980s

And I'm sure I posted this but can't find it Confused

I can't stop running to you,
Feel love coming through you
Girl, with you beside me,
Hold on heaven guide me
