@Honeyroar

In my dreams I’m dying all the time Then I wake its kaleidoscopic mind I never meant to hurt you I never meant to lie (90s)
@Honeyroar - is that Moby - Porcelain?

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre it is! ✅ From the Beach - great book, great film and great soundtrack!

I have got stuck. Clearly I turned off the radio in the 90's. I blame the ex.

👋 Evening!
I'm not hearing any of the outstanding ones!

I’ll have to check that out @Honeyroar.

I have Moby’s ‘Play’ CD knocking about somewhere. Due a play I think 😊.

We’re not too far from filling this thread up.

I'm here! No-one got one of mine; the Bottle by Gil Scott-Heron. It's a brilliant song so here it is for your delection .. m.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhoX1Xu6ZI

NeedToKnow101 · 30/09/2020 20:29

Not sure if delection is a word, but I'm sure you'll all forgive me 😍

Fleamaker123 · 30/09/2020 20:46

I can call you
Got your number
Share my life with you a thousand miles away
If you've hurt me
I haven't shown it
Times too tight to fight
And we're never face to face

84

This was Hall & Oates, Method of modern love

I enjoyed that, don't think I've ever heard it before..
Honeyroar · 30/09/2020 21:33

Hooray! 😃 You’re still here.

When you’ve got to get it out
I’ll be your shoulder, you can tell me all
Don’t keep it in ya.
Cos that’s the reason why I’m here.
(80s)

xsquared · 30/09/2020 21:51

I've got one

But I let temptation slide
Used to be so plain to see the hunger in my eyes
But now I'm buying

NeedToKnow101 · 30/09/2020 22:07

Glad you liked it @Fleamaker123 😘

NeedToKnow101 · 30/09/2020 22:12

1990s

The chills that you spill up my back
Keep me filled with satisfaction when we're done
Satisfaction of what's to come

I’m here too! DH’s birthday so a bit distracted.

This is New Sensation @Honeyroar.

Is this an excuse for us all to drool over Michael Hutchence again..?

Groove is in the Heart by De-lite.

Makes me nostalgic for my Pucci print days...

xsquared · 30/09/2020 22:13

That is Groove is in the Heart by Deelight @NeedToKnow101

xsquared · 30/09/2020 22:14

Pipped by 3 seconds!

FlouncingBabooshka · 30/09/2020 22:15

Maybe that should have been Deee-lite?

Honeyroar · 30/09/2020 22:25

It is INXS and we never need an excuse to drool over Micheal!

Honeyroar · 30/09/2020 22:28

And the problems of this old life
Won’t be solved by this guitar
And they won’t stop coming either
By the life I’ve had so far
(90s)

ThatLibraryMiss · 30/09/2020 22:36

I can't believe no-one got this song!

On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with a dreamer
I can laugh it in the face

is Hall and Oates You Make My Dreams Come True. Now listen to it and kick yourselves!

NeedToKnow101 · 30/09/2020 22:38

1980s
heat up, I can't cool down
You got me spinning
'Round and 'round
'Round and 'round and 'round it goes
Where it stops nobody knows
