Katherine. Correct.
Unfortunately, that song makes me shudder myself inside out. Your score is reset to zero.

You're back in the game if you know the other track.....

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/08/2020 09:46

Morning all

These 2 are still outstanding:

I think it's true that we've all been through
Some nasty weather
Let's understand that we're here
To handle things together
1980s

You're not happy with the way I act
You better turn around boy, don't look back
You're getting angry, you know I can see
You're just jealous 'cause you can't be me
1980s

He looked nice in the video though Honeyroar !
Surprisingly I liked Andy Taylor's solo songs better - not hits at all - he could sing a bit better than John Grin

😂😂😂*@SingingBabooshkaBadly* - I feel your pain.. see if you can get mine instead.

Clue: from a big part of many an 80s childhood.

Not ringing any bells for me @NeedToKnow101 ...

Maybe I’m too old. 🙁 The 80s were mid teens to mid 20s for me.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/08/2020 12:56

@NeedToKnow101 I'm not claiming it as I only had an inkling so googled. OMG that took me back! But confession time - I did have an album with it on, so it was in the dim & distant recesses of my not quite teen mind (no wonder I couldn't quite get there) 🤣🤣

I'm tired of playing on the team
It seems I don't get time out anymore
What a change if we set the pace face to face
No one even trying to score

CrepuscularCritter · 22/08/2020 17:41

A bit more of yesterday's still outstanding:

And I haven't noticed just where you've been

Like a stranger. Like in a wind.

I could tell you were a fast as you can man

And good advice I could give to you

I wanna see you now

I don't care. I don't eat. I don't sleep. I don't cry.

No no no. We're 2 of a kind.

  1. Solo female.

Growin' up you don't see the writing on the wall
Passin' by, movin' straight ahead you knew it all
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain,
You'll find you're all alone everything has changed

@NeedToKnow101 How many pairs of legwarmers did you have? 😉

@Iggi999 he did look nice in the video. It was lovely if you turned the sound off! Funny how people age. Nowadays I’d take Roger Taylor or Simon LeBon over Nick and John!

xsquared · 22/08/2020 21:47

I've got one:

Baby baby why do you do this to me? Won't let you go. You're such a...,

90s - I'd add more but I think it's easy.

Well, I only had one burgundy pair actually (I blame my mum), but my bedroom walls had my Smash Hits Leroy from Fame posters (next to my Julian Cope ones). And my misguided self and a friend wrote to Jim'll Fix It to ask to go to New York to meet them all. EnvyBlushGrin

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/08/2020 22:32

@NeedToKnow101 I didn't put up any Fame posters, but I liked Bruno 😁. Saw a documentry a few years ago & the actor who played him has now lost those dark curls and is bald!
