[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.

@Fleamaker123

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

83

Hall and Oates - One on One

@xsquared

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.

Not sure this is right, but in the 90s "you're such a" has to be followed by hot sensation, surely? So ride on time

Surprised noone got this cos I'm sure we've had this band on an earlier thread. Maybe I dreamed it.
I'll give you some more lyrics...

Some people say
You have a problem
But that problem
Lies only with them
Just 'cause you are not like
The others

That is why I love you

Yes @KatherineJaneway for Hall & Oates 👏🏆

A cheery 80s one for Sunday morning:

You'd better live in love than luxury, it's alright
And don't so dining out on foolish dreams every night
It only takes a moment to feel alright

[quote CoffeeBeansGalore]@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![/quote]
Oh no I loved Bruno's curls!!

Here's one for you...Bruno is the clue!

I'm playing with a
Simple phase
"I love you"
Not so simple
When it's true
What is this
Helplessness
I feel
When you smile at me
Won't you let me

Before I get on with my jobs for the day, here's a few with a theme, but different genres.

70s
Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some get it on rock 'n' roll, he said

Another 70s
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

80s
Hi darlin' ! How are you doing ?
Hey baby, where're your sleeping ?
Oh I'm sorry, but I've been really missing you !
Hi darlin' ! How's the weather?
Say baby, is that cold better now ?
Oh I'm sorry, is there someone there with you??

90s
All I want in life's a little bit of love
To take the pain away
Getting strong today
A giant step each day
All I want in life's a little bit of love
To take the pain away
Getting strong today
A giant step each day

@NeedToKnow101, your first one is David Bowie, Starman 😊

I think the second one is as well 😂

Actually, no. I’ve just sung it in my head and there are too many la la las 😂

Needtoknow...for the second 70s la fest, I'm trying America, Horse with no name.

That 80s one is annoying me. I hear it in my head but I don’t know what it is.

The Starman lyrics are a bit wrong - do I get bonus points for noticing?

(That could be a game for when we finally run out of steam on this. Post some lyrics with a deliberate mistake and see who spots it 😂)

Sorry @VictoriousSockPuppet, not ride on time.

I'll add another line.

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

Baby baby why do you do this to me? I've got to know.

80s
Hi darlin' ! How are you doing ?

Thats Clouds across the moon, the Rah Band
Check out their TOTP performance 😂 it's quite something!

@KatherineJaneway correct, St Elmos fire

@NeedToKnow101 The la la la s - Is it Sing a song? Sing, sing a song, sing out loud, sing out long, ----
for anyone else to hear, just sing, sing a song

@xsquared Baby, baby - is that a George Michael one?

@NeedToKnow101 Be my music?

Now @CoffeeBeansGalore has said George, I think I get it. Is it Too Funky @xsquared?

@NeedToKnow101

Is the la la la one Minnie Ripperton Loving You?

You'd like to think I'm just crazy
When I say that you've changed
I'm convinced I know the problem
You don't love me the same

@CoffeeBeansGalore
@KatherineJaneway
Yes! George Michael's Too funky.

I was thinking Chris de Burgh's Spaceman came travelling for the la la la one, like others not sure there are the right number of las
Mine from earlier was an 80s girl duo, if that helps.

Correct! 🙌🏼

Haha correct @fleamaker and the TOTP is seared in my mind 😂

@SingingBabooshkaBadly - correct to Starman but they're not from the 2nd 80's. You will have to take up the incorrect lyric with A-Z lyrics.com.

I'm getting confused with decades.. no-one has got my 70s la la one so I'll add a bit more and give a clue if still no-one gets it...

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

For you there might be ....
But through my eyes the light of you it's all I see
For you there might be another song
But all my heart can hear is your melody
