[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Ok folks here we go again!

Post a few lines of lyrics with the decade & let the rest of us have a go at guessing the song & artist.
Songs from 70s, 80s 90s. 😊

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

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!

Should I give you a clue, Babooshka? Might as well

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

Jump, Van Halen

Well done, flea.

Babooshka, do you see the clue I tried to give you there?

Yep, it was the T-Rex reference that got me.

Look at the line below T-rex, xsquared and just try to think who might have sung it

@shinynewapple2020

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

This one outstanding from yesterday

There is a typo
It's meant to say 'we need a party sound'

@VictoriousSockPuppet

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

@VictoriousSockPuppet - yes it's My Jamaican Guy - Grace Jones. 🙌🏼

@VictoriousSockPuppet your second one wit the T Rex reference is You Better Bet by The Who.

Well done twig!
Did you spot my clue to xsquared?

@xsquared

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

'90s

This is annoying me I know the line about 'all you wanted was someone to undress you' but my head is full of an Adele song with the line 'all your dreams come true'

@VictoriousSockPuppet I'm afraid I wouldn't have got that one, but I can see the clue now.

70s isn't a strong era for me I'm afraid unless it's very obvious.

Yes @VictoriousSockPuppet it was niggling away at me but when I spotted that lineit was obvious!

@xsquared

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

'90s

That's OMD Pandora's Box

Oh, my heart's in the basement, my weekend's at an all-time low
70s

And I get discouraged
'Cause you treat me just like a child
And they say I'm so shy, yeah
But with you I just go wild
70s

I asked if she wanted to dance
And she said all she wanted was a good man
And wanted to know
If I thought I was qualified
80s

Am I the weaker man
Because I understand
That love must be the master plan?
90s

I asked if she wanted to dance
And she said all she wanted was a good man
And wanted to know
If I thought I was qualified

@TwigTheWonderKid - I feel like that is Rasberry Beret by Prince?

Yes, well done @TwigTheWonderKid.

You're going in the right direction @NeedToKnow101

Thanks @xsquared though it was handed to me on a platter!

@TwigTheWonderKid

You're going in the right direction *@NeedToKnow101*

@TwigTheWonderKid - take the place of your man...?

Never take the place of your man, I mean!?

@TwigTheWonderKid

Oh, my heart's in the basement, my weekend's at an all-time low 70s

That’s Queen Bitch, one of my favourite Bowie songs 😊

That was an excellent clue for Jump @VictoriousSockPuppet - shame I missed it...

Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my street.
I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth
1970s

70s
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation

80s
It's time to come together
It's up to you, what's your pleasure?

90s
Don’t believe in anything that you can’t break
