80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 11

[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.

Well done to everyone who got That's Entertainment (obviously too easy!)

This one:
She gave me the loot with puckered up lips
And a wink that I found cute, and I said,
"Baby, baby, baby"
I think is Scooby Snacks, which would make it the Fun Lovin' Criminals.
I saw them live the day before I took a pregnancy test, knowing I might be pregnant. [spoiler. I was!]

Morning all

Last night's huffing and flouncing duly noted 🤣

I give you this one whilst enjoying my morning coffee

I burn like a fire left in the rain
As I run the race, oh yes I feel the pain
From the resistance I'm feeling the strain
Now the realization is that we are all born the same
1994

This isn't shine is it? Asward, NOT take that!!!!

aggg! No "r".
Aswad, I meant

For the fellow-Flouncer

My radar sends me danger

That cloud, that cloud
Looks like Ireland
C'mon and blow it a kiss now
But quick

80s

They build up my body, break me emotionally
It's nearly killing me, but what a lovely feeling!

70s

Maybe fate wants you dead, too?
We've come together in the very same room
And I'm coming for you

70s

Maybe fate wants you dead, too
We've come together in the very same room
And I'm coming for you

70s

No idea why the one above posted twice. Sorry. Only single points available.

I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody going strong, and that is when my spark got hot

70s

Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown

70s

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

70s
(number one on the day I was born, actually)

Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend

70s

That lot should keep you guys busy for a while. Laterz x x x

It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile

One final thing. Do you guys remember, I put up lyrics to Wild World by Cat Stevens the other day?
Well, before I put lyrics up I always google them to make sure their right. These came up on the usual source. I can ONLY assume that the person who transcribed them doesn't speak English as a first language. I had to go onto a different site to double check the lyrics before I posted them.

But these are the lyrics I originally found. This really made me (and DH) laugh a LOT:

Manjo hamm-ile, unglishiyile ingliziyo flungu
Manjo hamm-ile, unglishiyile ingliziyo flungu
Oh, Bana, Bana it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, Bana, Bana it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's changing(?) my heart in two
'Cause I never wanna see you sad, child

If you gotta leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
Then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, Bana, Bana it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, Bana, Bana it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child

Manjo hamm-ile, unglishiyile ingliziyo flungu
Manjo hamm-ile, unglishiyile ingliziyo flungu

Oh, Bana, Bana it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, Bana, Bana it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child

Oh, Bana, Bana it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile

That’s Breathing - very underrated IMO.

@FlouncerInDenial

Your new name suits you! We can be a special sub-group (a clique within a clique). The flouncer girls!

We must develop a secret signal so that any other flouncer can be secretly invited to join us.

Or maybe we (and the others) could be flouncer, bouncer, trouncer etc. A kind of MN 80s music fans bastardisation of Santa's reindeer!

Ooh yes, a little flouncy gang! I wonder who else might want to join. I think @NeedToKnow101 has been known to flounce. Perhaps she could be NeedToFlounce?

@FlouncerInDenial Correct, Aswad 😊👍

@FlouncerInDenial

Well, you're where you should be all the time And when you're not, you're with some underworld spy Or the wife of a close friend

70s

Bridge over Troubled Water - Roberta Flack or Simon and Garfunkel ..

Number 1 when I was born, embarrassingly...

1070s
Did you think I would leave you crying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Jack and don't be crying
I can go just as fast with two

Those Wild World lyrics are hilarious @FlouncerInDenial Thank you for sharing 🥰

Apart from the totally crazy bits I particularly love that the simple missing off of the word ‘but’ removal at the start of the second sentence here completely changes the meaning. It’s like ‘I hope you have nice things to wear but I hope things then turn bad for you’ 😂

Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
Then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

I never use the lyrics that come up at the top of the google pages - for some reason they are quite often wrong - not normally this hilariously though!

I'll consider a name change too @FlouncerInDenial ... been at work all day and off out now though .. feel like I'm neglecting the game! 😘

That wife of a close friend one is Carly Simon, You’re So Vain.
