70s
He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
She cries "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?"

60s
I get the news I need on the weather report
Oh, I can gather all the news I need on the weather report
Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile

60s
All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation

60s
go ahead and wreck your health
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself

Originally 60s but covered by a more famous act in the 80s:
Just ride, ride, ride little pony ride.

70s
Love is just a passing word
It's the thought that you had
In a taxicab that got left on the curb

80s
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go

@FlouncerInDenial

You're in DEEP disgrace, twig for not putting up regular photos for us to coo over.

FlouncingB, probably good you are on the hot chocolate. We all remember your somewhat slurred speeches from awards night....

H from Steps is still here you know.

H from Steps? Blimey what have I missed?!

@FlouncingBabooshka your first one is David Bowie Young Americans.

@TwigTheWonderKid 🌟

The H from Steps thing is a reference to a very daft long running joke from awards night. You did well to avoid it 😂

And this one is Scott Walker's San Francisco

All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation

In fact joke is over-selling it. More like inane ramblings...

Yes again @TwigTheWonderKid!

@FlouncerInDenial this is Oasis, Cigarettes and Alcohol, I think?

You gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen!

90s

@TwigTheWonderKid, I thought it was Scott McKenzie who sang San Francisco, but don’t quote me. I could be wrong.

So just like all these threads then really ?

No, you are absolutely right!

Well done, twig. I couldn't believe no one got that one

FlouncingB, we know you're keeping him as your sex slave. That's why you've not been posting much recently
S'ok. Your secret's safe with us 🤫🤐😉

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre - you’re right. I didn’t read Twig’s post properly and saw what I expected to see. A point each I think...

@FlouncerInDenial

You’ve really upset him now...

And @CarnageAtTheGardenCentre, yes to Native New Yorker 👍🏼

See, there’s a theme...

Come on @FlouncerInDenial - you’re so busy slandering H and me you’ve missed a sitter...

@FlouncingBabooshka

Ride, little pony ride.......

Mustang Sally
Wilson Picket

Oh no, not Mustang Sally. Sorry @Daffodil1967.

FlouncingBabooshka,

The only living boy in New York, Simon and Garfunkel.

That’s right @ThatLibraryMiss 👏
