Fine up here thanks @Honeyroar. 2 week break now which is nice. Youngest dog being spayed Wednesday so I'll be home with her. Just hope she heals quick.

@FlouncingBabooshka If I try to award extra points I think I will be lynched. However I could do a category for extra knowledge for the next awards night?

Well done @midgebabe, although there is something slightly more specific about the colour theme, although I had to cheat towards the end...

Ahh... in so does that help me guess the others? Hum

@TwigTheWonderKid

If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me, if you still want me

Tie a yellow ribbon

Numerous recordings, but Peters & Lee?

So is it rainbow colours?

Tie a yellow ribbon was Tony Orlando and Dawn.

I could be the catalyst that sparks the revolution
I could be an inmate in a long-term institution
I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die
I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by

What a waste Ian dury and the blockheads

To flea just below ( because I hate it when I can't work out which lyric tha answer belongs to )

Correct ✅ for What a Waste

Not sure what you mean though!

@TwigTheWonderKid
I'm guessing colours are in rainbow order - not that that's helping me much with the outstanding songs !

Sorry midgebabe, I was having a moment... I understand what you mean now 😂

I'm sleeping badly and could often make my posts much clearer I think

Absolutley, though I got stumped on indigo and violet so cheated with purple instead!

I would like to shout it from the highest mountain
To tell the world I’ve found love
And what it means to me
(80s)

Morning! Woke up with this song in my head..

It's not really work
It's just the power to charm
I'm still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye
80s

And this too (80s, I had actually forgotten it existed)

Awh I said "Cool, but I'm leaving my pants on" (she say)
"'Cause I'm kind of going with someone"
She said "Sounds like a real man to me"
"Mind if I turn on the radio?"
"Oh, my favorite song" she said
And it was Joni singing "Help me I think I'm falling"

Morning. Your first one is Modern Love by David Bowie.

Completely baffled by your other one though!🤣

That's the Communards, there's more to love than boy meets girl.. I used to 💕 Jimi Somerville but I prefer his Bronski Beat days.

@Honeyroar

It's a very well-loved artist

That narrows it down!
