On a similar theme

My heart is on fire , the night is Devine
My only desire is making you mine

1970a

My heart is on fire , the night is Devine
My only desire is making you mine

Cuba! Gibson Brothers 😍

Correct @Fleamaker123

And this one !

A-what to do on a night like this
Is it sweet. I can't resist
We need a parry sound

1980s

And this!

'Cause he's layed back, not laying back,
Layed back, not worried back,
Layed back, not thinking back,
Layed back, never holding back,

Is the “we decide to get away” one Barry Manilow’s Bermuda Triangle? (loved it!)

The last train left an hour ago,
They were singing "All aboard"
All bound for Mu Mu Land,
1990s

Justifies and Ancient - KLF with Tammy Wynette

Justified

@xsquared Yes, that was quick!

Only seventeen and all your dreams came true,
But all you wanted was someone to undress you.

'90s

70s
Cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody.
I only know it isn't mine.

80s
This indecision's buggin' me (esta indecisión me molesta)
If you don't want me, set me free (Si no me quieres, librame)

90s
You never listened to a word the doctor said
He told you if you drank another you'd be dead

Alison, Elvis Costello

Should I stay or should I go, The Clash.

Can't think what the third one is at the moment, but I def know it!

Oh! It's the Beautiful South. Old Red Eyes is Back.

Needtoknow, is that Jamaican guy? Or my Jamaican guy. I can't think who sang it though.

These are mine which are still outstanding. I'll add to them where I can:

But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind
It's all in her mind

^ Can't add to this one, but it's Stephanie Says by the Velvet Underground. Pretty song!

I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes
I sometimes feel I should just go home
But I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets
I love to hear you say my name
Especially when you say yes.
I got your body right now on my mind
And I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T.Rex
To the sound of old T.Rex

When I say I love you, you scream....

70s

Ow, oh, hey, you
Who said that?
Baby, how you been?
You say you don't know
You won't know until you begin

So can't ya see me standing here?
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't you see what I mean?
80s

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry

Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine

80s

Is the last one Start me up by Rolling Stones @VictoriousSockPuppet?

Yes, xsquared. I thought Babooshka's DH might get that one, because he got the other Rolling Stones one, but he didn't (or if he did, she didn't post it!)

If it's a helpful hint, I put these up because someone (was it Willow or maybe Library???) was bemoaning missing big 70s rock hits.
Think big rock numbers, stadium-filling bands for the other two.

Well done @VictoriousSockPuppet
Annoyingly, I recognised Start Me Up too but spent two long mulling over the other two - they both ring massive bells, especially the last one, which is really bugging me. I can almost hear it. Aargh! it’s so frustrating!

Is this All the young dudes by Motte The Hoople?

On a slightly different note has anyone else been watching the Twinsthenewtrend YouTube channel?

It’s the T. rex line that’s leading you down that path Xsquared ‘ Oh man, I need TV when I need T Rex’. I think that might be why I think I know the first one. Maybe I don’t. I definitely know the other one though...it’s driving me mad!

I need TV when I got T Rex!

No xsquared. But I can see why you would think so. It's the T-rex reference, isn't it. The next line is more of a giveaway. Try looking just at that on its own. The .... are the song title.

No, Babooshka, not seen the youtube channel.
