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.

@Fleamaker123

Would that be the sound of drivel 🤣😂
Some wasn't great, was it? OTOH I'll take 70s innuendo over WAP.

It really does. I think he wrote it about Jon Moss?

You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead

TwigTheWonderKid · 21/09/2020 20:37

I shall completely lower the tone with:

If I was to tell you how I feel
That my love was silent that my heart was real
I've been looking at you you've been looking at me
And I want you to know that I like what I see

80s

Aw...Do You Really Want to Hurt Me reminds me of my first term at uni...

Boy George’s voice was so beautiful.

I had a black hat like his...

Correct, I thought you'd get that one! Although Mr Google reckons it's by First Class??
Yes I agree we were subjected to lots of drivel in the 70's 🤣 it's a wonder we aren't permanently scarred.[/quote]

Ha ha I loved that song , I think I was about 10 at the time

TwigTheWonderKid · 21/09/2020 22:10

Absolutely @Honeyroar, well done.

CarnageAtTheGardenCentre · 21/09/2020 22:24

@TwigTheWonderKid - sorry just seen your post, yes it’s Fine Time, but it’s not Sade.

CarnageAtTheGardenCentre · 21/09/2020 22:28

@NeedToKnow101

Madonna- Ray of light ?

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre - it is! 🙌🏼 And it's been stuck in my head all day!

@NeedToKnow101, it’s one of my favourite songs by Madonna. I might give it a blast tomorrow 🎧
FlouncingBabooshka · 21/09/2020 23:01

@shinynewapple2020! 😊

Love leads us into the stream
And it's sink or swim
Like it's always been

Fleamaker123 · 21/09/2020 23:25

Correct Carnage for OMD 😊

@Honeyroar

Evening all. You’ve been busy while I was working hard! Why has shiny got nearly as many points as Flouncerindenial(of how many points she hasn’t got)?? Has she been sucking up? The rest of us are miles behind.

I’m not sure if there are any outstanding, that I can guess anyway!

Mama se
Mama sa
Mama coo sa
Mama se
Mama sa
Mama coo sa!!
(80s)

(Miles behind, just catching up).

She hasn't, honey. Her username contains a number. She has 27 points.

Do you feel I've been overly generous? I tend to agree

FlouncerInDenial · 21/09/2020 23:43

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre

*Your friends seem to think that you're so peachy keen But my friends say neglect is on your mind - who's right?*

What have you done for me lately - Janet Jackson?

I take it this was one of the outstanding ones, or have I missed earlier answers.

No. Noone had got it. Well done, carnage

FlouncerInDenial · 21/09/2020 23:48

@FlouncerInDenial - I think it's the perimenopause. Plus I went to bed ridiculously early that night!

1980s soul

Because I'm gonna love you
Each and every day

No more work
Just a lot of play

NeedToKnow101 · 22/09/2020 08:38

NeedToKnow101*, it’s one of my favourite songs by Madonna.
I might give it a blast tomorrow

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre - I'd forgotten all about it, but is a banger! 🤩🌭
