Sounds like the For Mash get Smash advert!

FlouncerInDenial · 18/09/2020 19:40

Careful, needtoknow, or she'll be putting the shake n vac lyrics up next!

FlouncerInDenial · 18/09/2020 19:42

We need more to distract her, but I'm a bit lyrics'd out after yesterday.

I went back and looked at the page again today and at one point I think there were 5 posts within the same minute! Luffs you lot! You are a light in my world!

FlouncingBabooshka · 18/09/2020 19:43

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre

Yep *@shinynewapple2020*, that is correct 🙂.
🤣

Definitely not a fan - but I remember it well and didn’t think anyone else would!

I remember one of the band members had a shop in Kensington Market that had a turnstile on the door. You couldn’t get through if you were larger than a size 10. What a pillock...

FlouncingBabooshka · 18/09/2020 19:45

Slightly insane post above - quoted Carnage when I mean to quote Flouncer accusing me of being a Sigue Sigue Sputnik fan. I’ve clearly allowed the stress to get to me...

FlouncerInDenial · 18/09/2020 19:46

We come in peace
Shoot to kill

FlouncerInDenial · 18/09/2020 19:47

Someone who will die for you and more

60s
Love that lyric!!!!

Honeyroar · 18/09/2020 19:48

Shoot to kill is definitely Star Trekkin.

Honeyroar · 18/09/2020 19:50

Is the other one Flash Gordon by Queen perhaps?

@TwigTheWonderKid yes it was Two Princes by the Spin Doctors.

FlouncerInDenial · 18/09/2020 19:50

For FlouncingB

Pray god you can cope

80s

FlouncerInDenial · 18/09/2020 19:51

It is honey.

Secret sci fi girl????

NeedToKnow101 · 18/09/2020 19:59

@FlouncerInDenial

Careful, needtoknow, or she'll be putting the shake n vac lyrics up next!
😂😂 could be a new addition to the game... cuz we're worth it!
FlouncerInDenial · 18/09/2020 20:05

Is that the best a thread can get?

Honeyroar · 18/09/2020 20:05

My flatmate was a Sigue Sigue fan.

It cries like a baby
In a cradle all night
It swings
It jives
(80s)

FlouncingBabooshka · 18/09/2020 20:06

@FlouncerInDenial - thank you for the KB 😘This Woman’s Work - gorgeous song.

Your 60s one is the brilliant It Ain’t Me Babe by Bob Dylan (covered in the 70s by Bryan Ferry - bonus point please 😊)

Honeyroar · 18/09/2020 20:08

I’ve been trying to give it up
But it’s one of those nights
(80s ad)

Honeyroar · 18/09/2020 20:10

Oh no @FlouncerInDenial I hate that Flash Gordon song, it’s the worst Queen track ever, but I knew there was a bit of the film at the start!

FlouncingBabooshka · 18/09/2020 20:18

@Honeyroar ‘I’m a Secret Lemonade Drinker’ 🤣

NeedToKnow101 · 18/09/2020 20:19

It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic

80s? (Not an advert)
