The Poison letter one is Since you’ve been gone by Rainbow.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

*Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn*

Since you've been gone, not sure of artist

I think it's Rainbow

The magic music one is Blame it on the boogie (Michael Jackson??)

Honeyroar · 03/09/2020 21:18

Perfect Body one is Radiohead Creep

Honeyroar · 03/09/2020 21:20

Would she go down is Alanis Morisette You Oughta Know.

Iggi999 · 03/09/2020 21:20

I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around

That'd be Creep by Radiohead.
The very rude one is an Alanis Morrisette song, can't remember the one!

Honeyroar · 03/09/2020 21:22

This one is 70s and my supervisor has been driving me mad humming it all day...

As we live a life of ease
Every one of us have all we need

That's the Beatles Yellow Submarine @Honeyroar
I think it might be 1960s rather than 70s

VictoriousSockPuppet · 03/09/2020 21:30

Yellow submarine, honey

VictoriousSockPuppet · 03/09/2020 21:31

Love all the x-posting 💕

All correct so far except it's the jackson 5

Honeyroar · 03/09/2020 21:39

Sorry, I wondered if Yellow submarine was 60s.

Honeyroar · 03/09/2020 21:51

Spinning on that dizzy edge

Fleamaker123 · 03/09/2020 21:51

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

70's

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 03/09/2020 21:59

That’s Psycho Killer by Talking Heads Flea.

Fleamaker123 · 03/09/2020 22:01

👍Thought that one would be guessed quickly!

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 03/09/2020 22:02

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Try these:

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

70s

But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress.

70s

This magic music grooves me
That dirty rhythm moves me
The devil's gotten to me through this dance

70s

With one foot in the past, now, just how long will it last?
No, no, no, have you no ambition?

80s

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own

80s

Would she go down on you in a theatre?

90s

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school

90s

I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around

90s

sorry I've not been around much. Busy week. Missed you guys.

Welcome back Victorioussockpuppet!

Two of yours that hadn’t been taken as I started to type but no doubt will be by the time I post!

Alison, Elvis Costello
Common People, Pulp

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 03/09/2020 22:03

Sorry - didn’t mean to quote your entire post 🙄

Honeyroar · 03/09/2020 22:04

Oh of course, Common people! It was bugging me.

Honeyroar · 03/09/2020 22:05

Spinning on that dizzy edge
(forgot to say it’s 80s)

Fleamaker123 · 03/09/2020 22:05

Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
80's

Iggi999 · 03/09/2020 22:10

I want you for my sweet pet
But you keep playing hard to get

NeedToKnow101 · 03/09/2020 22:10

Evening! Got one!

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own

The Smiths - how soon is now..

Iggi999 · 03/09/2020 22:11

My soul embraces one more in a million faces

NeedToKnow101 · 03/09/2020 22:12

And I would have got Psycho killer too..
