@Honeyroar

Ahh yes you were right Shiny. 👍

Sending a big hug/squeeze to the old sock hoping she cheers up!😘. I will be back with a vengeance as soon as I get everything I need to do done before BA boots me out at midnight tomorrow! In the meantime this 80s track sums up how the process has driven me mad...

Get up every morning just to put your makeup on
The wardrobes full of useless clothes, your winter coats are gone
The jackal pack are feeding
The motorway sweeps down
The council tries to bribe the rich
Just to stay in town
__
Get me out of this place
__
Get me out of this trap

Bless you, Honey. I've just seen this (after I posted my nonsense).

NMA and lots of genuine hugs

Things are getting a bit strange around here!
(Not a lyric )
Here's one, opening line so a bit obvious but a beginning I really love: (80s)

Even if I am in love with you
All this to say, what's it to you?

Thank you @VictoriousSockPuppet for the suggestions.
If anyone else would like to suggest categories, by Wednesday evening please. I will then post the categories for nominations and you can put forward your vote. If you want it to be a surprise, message me.
I will collate all the votes and we will arrange a time on Saturday to suit all for the awards. 🏆😊

Marlene on the wall, Suzanne Vega.

Coffee, maybe a Razzie award for worst song 😂🤣 I might be in with a chance then!

And I'll nominate myself for most wild and wrong guesses. And also fewest correctly guessed offerings, which has made me feel my musical taste is either deeply cool, or deeply uncool.

Here's a 1980s offering from me.

I'd love all the girls, I love 'em love 'em baby!
Black diamonds and pearls, ooh yeah yeah

Well done thatlibrarymiss

Morning . I found myself singing the chorus to this, this morning

Can't lose this mood gentle
With summer at our ears
Flood the world deep in sunlight
Break into the peaceful wild

1980s

I think I need a nomination for most times beaten by seconds by another poster

Coolest history/knowing or having met the most famous
Babooshka
Honeyroar

I’m sure this applies to Honeyroar too but I feel I may have disadvantaged myself by not having mentioned a fair few famous people I’ve met. I now feel I need to try to shoehorn some mentions into the thread... Do I get extra points for having had a ridiculously famous person invite me to sit next to him?

I will nominate myself for most times returned to the thread and finding all the songs I knew already guessed !

And never having met a famous person ever

"I will nominate myself for most times returned to the thread and finding all the songs I knew already guessed ! "
😂😂@shinynewapple2020 - Me too!!!!

On the famous people note, I think I am the only poster here who has touched David Bowie? .. ...

Touching David Bowie is pretty impressive NeedToKnow101... Babooshka please spill who it was! It's fascinating!

Yes spill the beans Babooska!!!

Oh yes, I’d forgotten about Needtoknow touching David Bowie. David Bowie is definitely more impressive than mine (to me anyway, and I imagine to many on this thread) but, in the interests of promoting my qualifications for the award I have to stress, I was invited.

OK, I had to have a meeting with Paul McCartney and all his team rushed to nab the seats closest to him leaving me standing like a lemon looking around for somewhere to sit. PM squidged up to one side of the huge throne-like armchair/mini sofa thing he was sitting on and said ‘come on, sit over here with me’. It was quite amusing as all the seat-nabbers looked mighty disgruntled

Mind you, thinking about it, Needtoknow touching David Bowie uninvited probably earns more points precisely for being uninvited. It demands an enviable combination of risk taking and cunning.

Having a quick browse whilst on lunch.

Oh wow @SingingBabooshkaBadly !!! I thought he was a sweetie 😊

That's great Babooshka! Love these stories !

Brilliant story @SingingBabooshkaBadly - but as you concede.. 'Mind you, thinking about it, Needtoknow touching David Bowie uninvited probably earns more points precisely for being uninvited. It demands an enviable combination of risk taking and cunning.' Wise words! ❤️❤️❤️😘

Nice easy 80s one..

It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times, oh yeah

A but more 'niche.' Late 90s

Trust is the lock is the key
There's no doubt that your love's all for me
You are sweet on the tip of my tongue
You are warm like the rays of the sun

NeedToKnow101 is that Holiday by Madonna? Or is it Kool and the Gang's Celebrate?? Am I allowed two guesses 😂

@NeedToKnow101 that's Holiday by Madonna. Well done Flea 😊

@Fleamaker123 and @CoffeeBeansGalore yes it's Holiday by Madonna 🙌🏼💥

@NeedToKnow101

I don't actually know those lyrics, but I do know that first line (and the rhythm!)

Sweet Like Chocolate

From something I've listened to today:

In your absence I changed my mind and someone else is sitting in your seat

Glorious voice; mid-eighties!
