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. 😊

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

NeedToKnow101 that's Let the Music Play, can't remember the singer though🤔

@CoffeeBeansGalore - I’m worried I won’t win anything 😟. I suppose I could just make a point of being very flouncy all the time?

We gotta install microwave ovens Custom kitchen deliveries 1980s
Dire Straits - Money For Nothing

I had a weekend job in Woolworths on the record bar and as the first CD released that was plated incessantly!

VictoriousSockPuppet · 17/08/2020 21:00

Beaten by steve anyway 🤣

Any skulduggery and points will be deducted . . . .

Not a lyric!

Here, coffee????? Surely not whistles innocently
Fleamaker123 · 17/08/2020 21:02

Yes SimplySteveRedux 👏

Honeyroar · 17/08/2020 21:03

Least it wasn’t me @VictoriousSockPuppet..

The microwave oven one is Dire Straits. Money for nothing. I love them but hate that one!

My dad has one of the first CD players and that was his first cd too.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly Give over, you know some weird & wonderful answers! Also a contender for best name 😁

@AJumpedUpPantryBoy Oh wow! Bet you couldn't wait for a new release!

Babooshka, you can win biggest KB fan on the thread, but willow and I will mug you in the car park afterwards and steal it off you

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 17/08/2020 21:05

Steve meant to say - you’re right about the Donna Summer connection. Giorgio Moroder, who produced Donna Summer, also produced Beat the Clock.

Honeyroar · 17/08/2020 21:06

Did anyone get my earlier one from one of the men we Collectively seem to fancy from the 80s?

Surely, in the spirit of the thread, one of you will just nip in ahead of me as I’m going up to collect it and whisk it away from under my nose?

@Honeyroar Can you repost? Sorry, it's been a long day

And you will never see my side
And I will always think I'm right
But I always regret the night
I told you I would hate you 'til forever

Surely there's only one winning name on here, coffee!

I think the first CD I heard was Simply Red

SimplySteveRedux · 17/08/2020 21:10

Oh shit, sorry, that wasn't meant for the thread (not from the time period either) Blush

CoffeeBeansGalore · 17/08/2020 21:14
