FlouncingB your last one is bruce Springsteen. Born in the USA

Evening all 👋

@TwigTheWonderKid - It involved Babooshka, H, my neighbour's donkey and goat, a traffic cone and a policeman wanting his helmet back. Not to mention a certain someone stealing trophies and Kylie's dress. Have I missed anything @FlouncingBabooshka? 😄

The rate we are going the next one should be Christmas themed. 🎄🎁🎅

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need, and I
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
1990s

First one I've got today I think @CoffeeBeansGalore .. no-one got my theme; I feel a bit sad.

@NeedToKnow101 Sorry no one got it. You are usually great at posting so please don't be downhearted. Some days I can't post answers fast enough & others I miss everything and don't have a clue!

Aw thanks @CoffeeBeansGalore that's very true. I'll get over it! ❤️

Needtoknow, sorry to be dumb, but I really can't see the connection in the 3 that were got. I don't think anyone got the 4th song.
(I'm blaming it on your mojitos!)

Is the connection quite obscure?

Goodness @CoffeeBeansGalore you remembered my ramblings better than I did 😂😂😂 I think that’s a fairly comprehensive summary.

@FlouncerInDenial

Eeek. What have I missed????

It’s the 80s cover of a 60s song. It’s a group I know you like, though they’re more of a 60s group than an 80s one. That’s such a big clue though you might now just get a half point 😂

Sorry they were a bit strong @FlouncerInDenial ... I thought it was an easy link. I'm a bit disappointed in you all tbh, slacking off and blaming the booze!

I think it has to be the rolling stones then FlouncingB. I do absolutely love them. But that lyric isn't jumping out at me. 🙁

The booze you provided, needtoknow.

Al geen/tina Turner, let's stay together. Something about sunshine (was it you are my sunshine?). Not sure who sang it
Staying alive, the bee gees and one other.

What the bloody hell links them??????

Bit more from the other one..

Means what you think you saw, you did not see
So don't blink be what was there is now gone
Black suit with the black Ray-Bans on
Walk in shadow, move in silence
Guard against extra-terrestrial violence
But yo, we ain't on no government list
We straight don't exist, no names and no fingerprints
Saw somethin' strange, watch your back
'Cause you never quite know where the

And next time it will be mocktails

Is that Men in Black theme @NeedToKnow101 ?
Even less of a clue what the link is now

Films ? Stayin alive and men in black

Colours ? Green ? Black ?

That last one is Men in Black but I don't understand what the colour reference is in the You Are My Sunshine one

Nor in stayin alive Twig
Can't get it

Some more to @FlouncingBabooshka's theme

And I pretend to pray (pretend to pray )
You know the preacher like the cold (preacher like the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay )

1960s

With a dream in your heart you're never alone
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and drive away

1960s

Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor

1970s

Correct twice @shinynewapple2020 and the theme the link is films yes, colours, no..

The films are: Pulp Fiction, Oh brother where art though, Saturday night fever and men in black.

@shinynewapple2020 - last one is Hotel California, the Eagles

Oh and the first one is California Dreamin' Mamas and Papas
