Twig, I think it’s I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow.

Is it I want Candy?

Oh @FlouncingBabooshka !!!!!!!

Sorry...(only a little bit)

Don't believe you

My weekly supermarket smash 80s

Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true

Timeless classic btw

1970s

It used to be so easy, livin' here with you
You were light and breezy, an' I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

@NeedToKnow101

1970s

It used to be so easy, livin' here with you
You were light and breezy, an' I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

That's Carole King, Too Late baby, great song.

Both 80s
It's all that heavy weather
We're going through
When I turn the corner
I can't believe

So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right
Love would never leave us alone
Ay, in the darkness there must come out the light

@NeedToKnow101

My weekly supermarket smash 80s

Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true

Every little things gonna be alright?

So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right
Love would never leave us alone
Ay, in the darkness there must come out the light

Coffee, that's Bob Marley and the Wailers, could you be loved

Correct @Daffodil1967 and SSD too 🙌🏼

Correct @Fleamaker123 🙌🏼 ..

Going out now. Might play surreptitiously in the pub

I’ve put together another themed selection. Whilst making a curry. I think I might be multi-talented...

90s
I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven but
It looks like Hell down there

80s
Awake
A dream in the distance
A scream
Advanced
Entranced taking only a chance.

90s
And everyone is blonde
And everyone is beautiful

80s
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance

80s
So come back Billy, won't you come on home?
Come back Mary, you've been away so long.
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone.

90s
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear

80s
A miracle sensation
My guide and inspiration
Now my dream is slowly coming true

80s
Twice shy and dog tired because you've been bitten
Everything you say now sounds like it was ghost-written

80s
rain is the tears of the never never navvies who cry
for the bridge that doesn't go
in the direction of Dublin

80s
She owns the ground she walks on and she walks all over you

@NeedToKnow101 and @FlouncingBabooshka, as there was only 6 seconds between you, I think you should share that victory (I do realise I am not The Keeper of The Spreadsheet though, so maybe I am not not authorised to make that call...)

80s
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance

Ultravox, Vienna

80s
So come back Billy, won't you come on home?
Come back Mary, you've been away so long.
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone.
Simple Minds, Belfast Child

@FlouncingBabooshka

Everyone is beautiful.
Everyone is blonde

Rotterdam
Beautiful South

Guess the theme. Names of places ?

Wild guess, Is the first one “Heaven can wait “by Meatloaf ?

@Fleamaker123 Correct, Could you be loved 👍😊

Sounds like a slippery slope to me @CoffeeBeansGalore. In the spirit of fair FlouncerinDenial would need to do a recount to award points to all those pipped in previous threats (hmm...who won most pipped on awards night 🤔🤔🤔🤔)

It will be anarchy, anarchy I tell you.

Yes to a Twig for Vienna and Belfast Child.

Yes to Daffodil for Rotterdam.

Pretty much yes to the theme - it’s cities - the first one is more of a general one regarding the theme, rather than a specific place name Iyswim.

Your wild guess is indeed a bit on the wild side...

Should have said spirit of fair play...

@FlouncingBabooshka As previous threads up to and including 10 were accounted for on awards night I think it only fair that points are awarded from thread 11 onwards (that's where I am starting from, and in the spirit of fair play when 2 people get the answer within seconds I think they should both be awarded points 😊)

Fair enough - I will take comfort in the fact it gives me an excuse to flounce a bit - haven’t done that in a while...
