Here we go you lovely lot, Thread 11.

Post some lyrics of a song 70s, 80s, 90s (boundaries may be slightly pushed either way). State the decade & we will try to guess Artist(s) and song.

My birth date number one was Fleetwood Mac's Albatross - no bloody lyrics 😂

Honeyroar · 09/09/2020 20:14

😊 I quite liked Two Little Boys back in the day!😊

I don’t mind the ballad of John and Yoko, I just don’t like John and Yoko. They were like the 1960s Kardashians!

Well, that would've given us a challenge, Flea!

It's strange that 3 of us have Beatles tracks as our number ones . Given the era and they had a lot of number ones I can see you might expect one of us , but not 3 .

I think we are all ladies of a certain age.....

@FlouncerInDenial I’ve told you before, I think. We’re spring chickens. 🐥🐥🐥🐥

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/09/2020 21:38

Honeyroar · 09/09/2020 22:47

There’s nothing like
You and I Baby
(90s)

Fleamaker123 · 10/09/2020 19:51

Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
There's something going wrong around here
70's

FlouncerInDenial · 10/09/2020 19:59

Can't think, Honey. And guessing no one else can either.

Try these (all heard on the radio today)

Danger close to edge of the knife
Safer not to let go

80s

Stunningly, I don't think we've put up lyrics from this group before. (Tell me if I'm wrong).
((That's not a lyric, it's an observation. This is the lyric:))

On the air America
I modeled shirts by Van Heusen

80s

Feel it getting hot in here
Feel me getting close to you dear
Slow motion moving you, moving me

80s

x-post, Flea

Yours is Is She Really Going Out With Him.

No idea who sang it.

NeedToKnow101 · 10/09/2020 20:08

That's Joe Jackson I think @FlouncerInDenial ..?

Fleamaker123 · 10/09/2020 20:12

Correct FlouncerInDenial and NeedToKnow101 ✅

Fleamaker123 · 10/09/2020 20:17

I recognise the America bit but can't get the rest!

FlouncerInDenial · 10/09/2020 20:27

Well done, flea.

You're right, the first line is MUCH more well know/distinctive. Try and hear the "voice" in your head.
There were v v few lyrics I could out up that wouldn't have made it instantly recognisable, so I'm glad I've made it challenging 💋

FlouncingBabooshka · 10/09/2020 20:28

On the air America is Two Tribes by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

Never heard the shirt bit!

FlouncerInDenial · 10/09/2020 20:35

Nicely stolen, FlouncingB
