Not my very first @Bluesheep8 - I'll put up a song from that in a minute .. (supposed to be working )

That's Kid Creole and the Coconuts Stool Pigeon - one of the first albums I bought

Aw...I was in the lower sixth when that came out. I remember my lovely mum going out to buy my friend a Christmas present as I wasn’t well enough to going shopping. I told her he wanted Tropical Gangsters by Kid Creole and the Coconuts. She should have written it down. I remember her telling me she’d gone into the local record shop and asked for ‘Tropical Bananas by Kid Jenson and the Radio One Fun Boys’

Oh bless her 😊

Stool pigeon was the first single I bought, along with Stevie Wonder's Do I Do, they were 2 for a pound.

La la la la la la la the Banana Splits!

Tsk. You lot are so theme-y

Assassin with gun
Is taking his aim
To target his rival
And tossing the street
Is a dangerous game
The stakes of survival

80s

Spread it all over my peelin' skin, baby

70s (you only get one line because I'm pretty sure this song was done recently)

Mango, banana and tangerine
Sugar and ackee and cocoa bean
When we get marry we make them grow
And nine little chil' in a row

60s

@FlouncerInDenial

Your first one is Big Apple Kajagoogoo

Correct @NeedToKnow101

Here's one!

L.a. Proved too much for the man
(Too much for the man, he couldn't make it)
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know, ooh
(He said he's goin')
He said he's goin' back to find
70s

Can we expand to include vegetables?

@FlouncerInDenial - is the last one here I come and I wanna go home? Not sure who it's by?

You're just a buffet, you're a vegetable
They eat off of you, you're a vegetable

80s

Some people might say my life is in a rut
But I'm quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more
But I'm so happy I can't see the point

70s (Sorry getting carried away)

Shiny, yes
Needtoknow, no
I think you're thinking of daylight come and me wanna go home.

Sorry NeedToKnow101, The Jam, going underground

Midnight train to Georgia I think is Gladys Knight and the Pips

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel that my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels

1990s
