Have I redeemed myself 🤣

1980
What I want, you've got
But it might be hard to handle
Like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame yeah yeah

@FlouncingBabooshka

Ooh *@FlouncerInDenial* I know that left in this world one - it’s driving me mad!

Btw, did not intend the question mark after Bunnymen. There’d be a right kerfuffle if you said no

I don't think you (or anyone) ever got this, FlouncingB?

It's White Wedding. Billy Idol (I'm just on a trawl back to find those ones of yours and see which ones I know, and found this post!)

@Honeyroar

I’m quite impressed that your cat was called Babushka *@NeedToKnow101*!

Another one from my friend’s playlist. It’s the only line in the song that doesn’t give the title away!

It’s a dirty job but someone’s got to do it.
Oh it’s a dirty job but someone’s got to do it.
(80s)

I definitely can't get this one, Honey. Just had another look. It's absolutely not coming to me. Did someone else get it in the end?

@Honeyroar

Oh she came on with an alligator smile Dynamite lover. Scorpion child Trying to get to heaven Before the sun goes down (90s?)

My Halloween one. Good indie track. Also a fairly recent advert soundtrack.

This is the Cult. Did anyone get it? I didn't know it was used in an advert, though as I always whizz through them.

Just seen, someone did. Sorry!

I think these were the ones from Babooshka:

90s
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe

I think this is the Smashing Pumpkins.

70s
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box

This is Hammer Horror, Kate Bush (I've got to be honest, FlouncingB, If I hadn't known at least one of them was KB, AND had a halloween theme, I might not have got it! I wouldn't have got the other KB one that someone else got )

I know some of them have been got. But I think these two are still outstanding????

The Clash one is I fought the law (and the law won) isn't it?

Sounds like Hall & Oates, you make my dreams come true

I think "the bats have left the belltower" is Bauhaus and Bela Lugosi's Dead. Still have the 12 inch somewhere upstairs...

And sorry for my protracted absence. I lost you all, then work went a bit haywire.

That's right Flea 🙌🏼

Now she's gone
And I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook
Says nothing to me
82

Hello @CrepuscularCritter. You’re right with Bauhaus but Bluesheep got it yesterday I’m afraid.

But have a 🌟anyway!

That sounds familiar , flouncer

Gag! That's my rubbish cutting and pasting. The bauhaus one was got (and I did know it!!!!) The hammer horror one is Theyve got the stars for the gallant hearts" etc

Not drinking, just rubbish!!!!

Yes! ☺️

The “dirty job but someone’s gotta do it” was Faith No More’s We Care a Lot.

Evening all

All 80s

Oh, here I go
It's coming for me through the trees
Oh, help me someone
Help me please

I feel the wind in my hair
And it's whispering, telling me things
Of a storm that is gathering near
Full of power I'm spreading my wings

Ever since you've been far away,
I've been wanting to fly.
Now I know what you meant to me,
I'm the one who should cry.

The last one is Too late for goodbye by Julian Lennon.

@Honeyroar Correct 👍😊

The through the trees one is Kate Bush, Hounds of Love.

@Honeyroar Correct to hounds of love 👍😊
