@FlouncingBabooshka

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...

You don't want to get out of practice...

Got one for yer!

But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall

1970s but big hit in 90a

[quote TwigTheWonderKid]**@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...)[/quote]
Thank you @TwigTheWonderKid - the right decision I think.

Theme

Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
1980s

Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
1970s

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep it tight
1990s

It's an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing, and music swinging
Originally 60s but big hit in 90s

I had completely missed the fact it was Twig who suggested the point sharing. For some reason I read it as Coffeebeans...

No good reason why I should get the huffs about that but it’s just a feeble excuse for yet more flouncing.

There are still a few more of city theme songs outstanding btw...

@FlouncingBabooshka If you want to stick to simply the first post, then that's fine. I was trying to be fair when it is literally seconds (which we can't see). When it is minutes or hours then of course the first poster gets the points 😊. But please feel free to flounce 😄😄😄

@CoffeeBeansGalore I think that's Dancing in the Streets.. was it Martha and the Vandellas first time? Then Mick Jagger in a duet with.... dunno?

@NeedToKnow101 Yes, well done. Jagger & Bowie 😊

Nope! Here's some more of it..

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall

[quote CoffeeBeansGalore]@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 😊)[/quote]
YOU ARE HAVING A LARFF!!!!!!

I have a drunken weekend and you guys decide what?????

It can cut you like a knife if the fight becomes the fire
On the wire between will and what will be

80's

You wanted all
I had to give
See me, I feel
see me, I live

Eurythmics
