@FlouncerInDenial - don’t understand....

It's definitely a clue, FlouncingB

Correct @Bluesheep8, it is the wonderful Sisters of Mercy.

In the back street cellar dive drinking clubs
In the discotheques and the gaming pubs
We’re looking for you.
(80s)

Another indie one from my playlist for my friend from my Rock City days!

I'm going down to the place tonight
To see if I can get a taste tonight
A taste of something warm and sweet
That shivers your bones and rises to your heat

That's NMA. The hunt.

Of course, you may prefer to give it a day and then congratulate someone else who gets it later. Hurumph

Is that human league?

I can't think of the title, but the chorus goes "see my eyes they are bright tonight"

See my eyes is Soft Cell.

Yes it is NMA’s Hunt. ✅. What did I miss that you guessed, sweetness and light?

Isn't that Some Candy Talking? Jesus and Mary Chain. I've two from last night outstanding, they all feature the same word in the title.

Oh bloody hell. If you're right, iggi, I'm mortified. I saw jesus and mary chain back in the day.
I can't think how those lyrics go now.
My first love adored them

I got sisters of mercy last night, honey.

@Iggi999

Three with a theme:

1. He made you so sweet it's just not true

2. I think abouta mama, she used to say

3. It's easy to deceive
   It's easy to tease
   But hard to get release

Just looked again at these, iggi.

I don't know the first one, but the last one is eyes without a face. Is that visage???

The theme is faces cos someone got shuduppa your face last night

Oops sorry, so you did Flouncer.

And I’ve just noticed the pic of Micheal sexypants too, thanks @FlouncingBabooshka (we’re only 15 threads in and I still have to think how to spell Babooshka. I’m going to have to start calling you Babs!!

My phone suggests it now. And FlouncingB

She walks so fast, she looks so sweet
She makes my heart just skip a beat
My girl's the best and that's no lie
She tells me that I'm her only guy
1980s

He took me to the Spider club on Hollywood and Vine
We drank champagne, and we danced all night
We shook the paparazzi for a big surprise (a big surprise)
The gossip tonight will be tommorow's headlines
00s

I know a girl who's soft and sweet
She's so fine, she can't be beat
Got everything that I desire
Sets the summer sun on fire
Originally 60s, lots of covers

Well done flouncer, right song but not band - solo singer.
The other one was on TOTP 1990 which I watched the other night

• He took me to the Spider club on Hollywood and Vine We drank champagne, and we danced all night*

Think that's Candyman by Christina Aguilera.

I know your first one, annoyingly rolling round my brain and mocking me...

The first one is Candygirl (New Edition?). So does that mean the last one is candy themed too?

Eyes without a face was Billy Idol

@Fleamaker123

Eyes without a face was Billy Idol

Oh! Of course it was!!!! I can hear his voice in my head now. Thanks flea.

Funnily enough, I put a billy idol on last night and no one got it. I even gave Babooshka an extra clue, and still nothing

@Honeyroar

The first one is Candygirl (New Edition?). So does that mean the last one is candy themed too?

Ah. In that case this one is for coffee

He's got everything that I desire
Sets the summer sun on fire

80s

Oh! I've just unwittingly put up lyrics from the same song.

I'm so sorry.

(I thought the un-got one was the first song coffee put up, not the third.
I'll get me coat)
slinks off thread in shame

I'll dock myself some points, obviously

He's got everything I desire , sets the summer sun on fire

Is that I want candy ?

And @FlouncerInDenial and @CoffeeBeansGalore have posted different versions of the same song ?

Omg, I'm fucking mortified

Can we all just politely scroll past the last couple of posts without comment? Please.

I think it's the British way

Lol @FlouncerInDenial

I think we've all done it at some point on these threads
