[CoffeeBeansGalore]

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.

A line from an 80s advert that became a song:

"Were you truly wafted here from paradise?"

Didn't know that was a song . The advert was some disgusting drink .

Dubonnet?

[FlouncerInDenial]

According to my spreadsheet, honey, I win in every category!

Shiny I'm singing whoooa bodyform now

[shinynewapple2020]

Ah @ThatLibraryMiss the song was called Luton Airport ? A joke song ?
Or am I making that up

[FlouncerInDenial]

Dubonnet and bitter lemon is gorgeous in the summer, shiny. Nice alternative to pimms

[Fleamaker123]

Shiny it was Nimble or Slimcea bread

[Honeyroar]

I posted the “waaaa” from the body form as a page or two ago.

Wow those spreadsheets Flounce- who’d have thought?? You’re outstanding!

[shinynewapple2020]

TBF Flouncer I'm not sure I've ever had any ! Certainly not recently .

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

@Honeyroar, don't worry, I'm tallying points in a fair and efficient way 😁

[FlouncerInDenial]

Was that the one with Lorraine Chase & she answers "nah, Luton airport". Google says Campari

[FlouncerInDenial]

You googled coffee???????

All points nul and void over every thread

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Excuse me - that was for information & clarification, not for points claiming, scoring or any skullduggery. Done in clear view of all!

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Anyone on here who I haven't tagged for Thread 12, apologies! Come on over. We are under Chat, 80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 12.

See you over there 😊

[FlouncerInDenial]

Too late, coffee. You are disgraced.

I'm fashioning you an "OP hat of shame" as we speak. It says "googler" in big red letters

[Honeyroar]

Lol we used to have a hat we’d made at uni for all nighters panic sessions trying to finish work at the end of term. We had one smug flatmate that had always finished his work and crowed at the rest of us who hadn’t. Our hat was “the roger hat” and you had to wear it when you said something smug/boring until someone else said something boring! Roger thought it was a hat for whoever was about to finish their essay.

Someone please get the one I posted before the thread runs out!

[Honeyroar]

Ah Coffee has just put it on the new thread.

[NeedToKnow101]

@ThatLibraryMiss

FlouncingBabooshka got the song, group and product but NeedToKnow101 was the first to put them together - but with a spelling mistake. Dunno who gets the points.

What!!!!!!????

[FlouncerInDenial]

hands coffee the roger hat of shame

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

No thank you. I stand by my statement 😁

[FlouncingBabooshka]

@Honeyroar - that would be Rapper’s Delight by Sugarhill Gang (my best friend is word perfect)

[FlouncingBabooshka]

@ThatLibraryMiss @NeedToKnow101

To be fair, I got the ad but didn’t notice in my excitement that you’d asked for the song as well. Crossed post with NeedToKnow with the song but she definitely got in first (though actually I got the exact title). I’d tentatively suggest we split the points...

[FlouncerInDenial]

Half points messed up my spreadsheet. I just tend to round down tbh. In most cases.

[FlouncerInDenial]

Messes not messed

[shinynewapple2020]

So before we go back to songs in the next thread .

Coffee - yes the Luton airport ad was for Campari as he asks her if she'd like 'Campari and Soda' and she goes 'nah lemonade'.

I think the song Luton Airport was a girl group called the Runways and it was a 1950s type song with Luton Airport as the chorus but I may seriously be imagining all that (@ThatLibraryMiss is that right / wrong?)

Dubonnet was meant to be a posh drink and the advert went 'dubonnet vous?' (Or dubonnez vous I guess would be the French)

Back to songs now !
