Signs you are too invested in the thread:

No 1: Going into the kitchen and realising you’ve forgotten to put the roast potatoes in 🤦‍♀️

@FlouncingBabooshka 🤣

😂😂😂 @FlouncingBabooshka

Staying on the name theme:

She was gonna be my wife
And I was gonna be her man
(Xxxxx)
But she let another guy come between us
And it shattered our plans
1960s

Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
She said, "Little boy, won't you come home with me?"
1970s

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on a throne
1980s

I was lying on the floor
With the music in my head
The Todd Terry Project
Was the last thing that I heard
I had searched for the answer
It was not much to find
1989

I'll have to skip the game on Monday
Had a whole lot of fun,
but now the time is come
I need the sweet, sweet touch of a woman's love
(70s)

@CoffeeBeansGalore
She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on a throne
1980s
Is that Bette Davis Eyes?

@CoffeeBeansGalore, your second one is Lola by the Kinks.

😂🤣

@NeedToKnow101 & @FlouncingBabooshka Correct 👍😊

I feel like we could have a whole thread just of songs with names in the title.

A few more:

60s
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore

70s
Like to take a cement fix
Be a standing cinema
Dress my friends up
just for show
See them as they really are

80s
And when he laid eyes on her
He got the feeling they had met before

60s
One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover
She came along and turned on everyone

80s
You tell me how can it work
In this all white law
What a short sharp lesson,
What a Third World War

80s
Xxxx always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says that he still acts
Like he is being discovered

60s
Xxxx tries but misunderstands, ah ooh
She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow

And when he laid eyes on her
He got the feeling they had met before

Babooshka!

It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore

Ruby, don't take your love to town. Dunno singer.

Ruby don't take your love to town was Kenny Rogers (thanks country music loving mum . . . .)

70s
Like to take a cement fix
Be a standing cinema
Dress my friends up
just for show

And I ain't down here for your money
I ain't down here for your love
I ain't down here for your love or money
I'm down here for your soul
80s

Oh, it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl
And with the way you look I understand
That you are not impressed
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress
70s

Standin' on a corner,
Suitcase in my hand.
XXXX's in his car, says to XXXX, who's in her vest,
Me, babe, I'm in a rock n' roll band
70s

Oh darling, why'd you talk so fast?
Another evening just flew past tonight
And now the daybreak's coming in
And I can't win and it ain't right
80s

My outstanding name ones from this morning.

What's her name?
Is that her there?
Oh, Christ, I think he's even combed his hair
Is that her?
Well, then what's her name?
Oh, it's never gonna be the same
70s

When you've been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight
00s

Appeal to the governor of Louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal government too much to help him
It's been nearly five years
And they won't let him go
