[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Ok folks here we go again for Thread 10!!!

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.

@nowlook

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!

The glorious voice was a good clue.

Alison Moyet - All cried out

[quote nowlook]@NeedToKnow101

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

Sweet Like Chocolate [/quote]
@nowlook - Correct! Well done! By Shanks and Bigfoot. A bit of a carnival anthem one year long ago 👍🏼🙌🏼

@shinynewapple2020

Absolutely

I can do a perfect impression of her for about two bars before it all goes to shite and I'm left with my noodly folk voice

@NeedToKnow101

"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? .. ...

I'd forgotten that was you, needtoknow.

You should definitely have a nomination for that.

Although good comeback story by Babooshka.

We obviously need a famous-off before the awards ceremony

Yay! I is free!! Can play again. 😀. Show me the lyrics... (easy ones please)

Congratulations honey.

disappointingly small bottle

These are for you....

I can't get used to living without, living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey

80s

Also for honey:
Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom

70s

Also for honey

No dark sarcasm in the classroom

70s

(⬆️⬆️⬆️And for me a bit, cos I'm back at work tomorrow )

I don't think anyone will get this, my DH (an old hippy) suggested it. Feel free to cheat and google. The lyrics are great.

For honey

I went up for my interview on the fourth day of july
Personnel man, he questioned me until I nearly cried.
Made me fill in forms until i shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin's queer

1965

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom

Think, by the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin

No dark sarcasm in the classroom

Another brick in the wall by Pink Floyd

The chance of anyone coming from mars are a million to one they said

The first one is Queen - I want to break free
The Freedom one I’d have said was George Micheal, but it wasn’t 70s. And the sarcasm one is Pink Floyd, Another brick in the wall.
(And you were right that it was Get me out by NMA and also that the bottle was too small. But there were a few. And it turned out I’d drunk all the big bottles).

This one will pose a problem to those (me included) who sing along until you get to the chorus:

And he talked for forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said
But we had fun fillin' out the forms and playin' with the pencils on the bench there

60s

@Iggi999

The chance of anyone coming from mars are a million to one they said

But still they come!

(I don't know the title or who sang it, but that is definitely the next line) we had to do an assessed drama piece to it

Are you good, honey?

If you are, you need to name drop some celebs pdq to be in with a chance of winning anything

Babooshka and needtoknow are absolutely killing the category.

And, be honest, it's the only award you stand a hope of winning

🤣🤣🤣

The chance of anyone coming from mars are a million to one they said

That's Justin Haywood, war of the worlds?

Flea, I think I have the moral point

You deserve that drink Honey! You must be relieved 😀

Yes Victorious, I feel bad taking the credit for that one 🤣

You have no credit, flea. You have stealing
