80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 9

[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. 😊

But I couldn’t get the other because I’d posted it
🤣🤣🤣😃😃

I didn’t realise anyone had got Hammer Horror - turns out I’d somehow skipped a whole page. 🤦‍♀️

So i get bonus points then?

Yes, yes, you do, because that’s how it works Willow. 100 bonus points. 🌟

(Don’t anyone else tell her it’s not how it works...)

🤔🤔🤔🤔

RuudGullitOnAShed you only get 1/2 a point.

Yes Willow and Babooshka, plus Babooshka gets the other half a point that RuudGull dropped.

Honey - correct. And I'm MORTIFIED about getting the New Order song name wrong. I've done that exact thing in a quiz before now too. I do know it's Blue Monday, honest

Correct for Pulp, Babooshka. I couldn't believe no one was getting that one. No flouncing here, just a busy weekend. It was a Pretenders track you only gave me half a point for. I'm not sure who did the better known version. Did anyone else get it?

Don't worry, Willow. Coffee is organizing an awards evening for the end of thread 10. It's going to be a bit like the Brits, only more glam. You'll be receiving your gilt embossed invitation any time now....
I can't wait to see who'll be "Victorious" on the night

Babooshka, is your top one Beat the Clock? I'm not sure who sang it.

"Loving somebody ain't your average 9 to 5
It takes conviction it takes a will to survive
I'm not somebody who commits the crime
And leaves the scene"

Celine Dion - Misled?

Hey baby, baby, baby he's a-lookin' so cute
Sneak around-round-round in a blue jump suit

77. Really tough one, has been covered many, many, times.

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Babooshka, is your top one Beat the Clock? I'm not sure who sang it.

Yes! This has been annoying me all day, and I'm pretty sure it's from '79 (Was in charts when DP was born). Also no idea who sung it, although pretty sure there's a link somehow to Donna Summers' - I Feel Love... writer? Producer?

Spill, Babooshka

It would be funny to all meet up in the real world for musical bingo one day.

(Not a lyric )

I thought DP would know who sang Beat the clock. He doesn't. What is he for, I ask myself?

On a similar 80s tip:

We started dancing and love put us into a groove
As soon as we started to move
The music played while our bodies displayed through the dance
Then love picked us out for romance

I think it's a male voice, Steve. Kind of falsetto-ish, but definitely male. I have a VERY hazy memory of seeing them on TOTP, I think. In my mind there's an image of a very small, pencil thin moustache, and possibly a piano. But that might be wrong. And doesn't mean Donna Summer couldn't have written or produced it.

Needtoknow, I wonder who'd be "victorious" at musical bingo????

I don't think I know your lyric. Do we need more?

Correct SimplySteveRedux for Celine Dion 👍

Victorious, are you thinking of Sparks??

Sparks?

Oh flea! I might be. Did they sing beat the clock? The only song I know that is def by them is this town ain't big enough for the both of us

I saw that you had already posted that @Fleamaker123, but I'm pretending I didn't.

Good tactic, needtoknow. I might try that with honey in future!

😂 I don't recognise the song, just from your description of a moustache and a piano reminded me of Sparks

And if I ever catch up with you
I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life

'85

Any skulduggery and points will be deducted . . . .

Not a lyric!

Well done Victorious and Flea, it was indeed Beat the Clock by Sparks. Bonus points to Steve for knowing the year!

I suppose we ought to start thinking about categories for the awards. 🤔
Most random
Weirdest lyrics
Quickest guess
Flounciest poster
Nominate the best records of the decade
And the one everyone is waiting for . . . . . . . Most correct guesses 😁

Shall I add some more to the other ones - they’ve been hanging around a while now?

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
1980s

Yes please Babooshka
