If you notice I've missed anyone please tag them 😊

Here's one for you @FlouncerInDenial covered by Van Halen. Originally 60s.

Please, don't ever let me be
I only want to be by your side
Please, don't ever let me be
I only want to be by your side

Aw. Although I prefer the kinks version, actually

Sorry..
You really got me

@Honeyroar Yes, You can keep your hat on. 😊👍
I think Tom Jones did the best version in 90s but I believe Randy Crawford first released it in the 70s

@ellie1967, Sorry don't know yours.

Isn't it called LEAVE your hat on, coffee?

@FlouncerInDenial Yes you are correct it is Leave, not keep. My apologies.

Goodnight all 🌛

Aw. Although I prefer the kinks version, actually

I do too. Morning!

Here's one to get the juices flowing this morning!

Strolling along minding my own business
Well there goes a girl and a half
She's got me going up and down
She's got me going up and down
1970s

Morning all!

@NeedToKnow101, that's Peaches by The Stranglers

No need, Honey got it right, it was my exhausted brain saying keep not leave. (Dh snoring again . . . ) Roll on Friday when we break up for 2 weeks 😁

ominously it's not Honey's entry on the spreadsheet I'm adjusting, coffee

@ThatLibraryMiss

Morning all!

@NeedToKnow101, that's Peaches by The Stranglers

Correct @ThatLibraryMiss

@Honeyroar

Is the ride ride ride little pony ride one Harlem Shuffle *@FlouncingBabooshkaBabooshka*?

Come back here stand on that chair might be You can leave your hat on? Can only think of Tom Jones.

It is indeed @Honeyroar.

I think I still have one outstanding from the days of the week theme so here’s a bit more - it’s from the 90s

I fell through the window
And I found that I was still breathing
I thought of tomorrow
And the fear that you might leave me
I thought of tomorrow
And I wished it was Monday morning
But I knew that you
With your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me

Oh give over FiD, I'm not counting my own scoring on my spreadsheet, just everyone else

@shinynewapple2020

A few more same theme

Now I can't say my name and tell you where I am
I want to roll myself away
Don't know if I can
I wish I could be in some other time and place

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night to get down
Doesn't it matter that I have to feed the both of us

All 1980s

The Top one is still outstanding from the other day , days if the week theme

shinywapple

The 2nd one is Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 and the 3rd is Manic Monday by The Bangles, written by Prince

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
1980s

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Huey Lewis, Power of Love

@Fleamaker123 yes, well done 😊👍

And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
1970s

Voulez-vous, Abba. (A-ha!)

Coffee, tell me more of this miraculous 2 week half term you mentioned????

We don't get that down here

@ThatLibraryMiss Correct!

@FlouncerInDenial Yes, we have 2 weeks off, sometimes known as the tattie holidays as in days gone by the kids were given the time off to help with harvesting the potatoes.
Bear in mind we never get half term weeks off through the year like you do. We get a long weekend in mid February and a couple of bank holiday Mondays.
