Yes to both *@FlouncerInDenial* .. full answers please 😘

Don't know the artist of I'm feeling good.

David Bowie - this is not America???

@FlouncerInDenial

Kind-of a theme, kind-of topical...

Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself

80s

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

70s

Realms of bliss, realms of light
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to the endless night

80s

I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart

70s

Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted to
Each other forever

80s

Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try

70s

Only two got from these, honey. One was you and the other is all by myself

As a matter of taste to be exact
he's my ideal as a matter of fact
60's

The second one is All by myself but I don’t know who sang it (big warbly ballad that was in Bridget Jones Diary!)

Oops! You’d given that one!🤣

@Fleamaker123 that’s My Guy. Who sang it? Mary Wilson?

Eric Carmen did the original

[quote Honeyroar]@Fleamaker123 that’s My Guy. Who sang it? Mary Wilson?[/quote]
Correct ✅ by Mary Wells

@FlouncerInDenial - correct to This is not America, and I think of Feelin' good as Nina Simone, but others have sung it..

I need you to see
This love was meant to be
80's

@Fleamaker123

I need you to see This love was meant to be 80's

Hungry eyes Also by Eric Carmen

Yes Shiny 👍

Hello everyone. Sorry, haven’t had much chance to check in today.

To answer the questions about staying up for the election, yes, it was interesting, but also depressing that so many people are still voting for Trump this time round. It looked really bad for a while. Encouraging now if you are able to ignore the extraordinary levels of crazy Tantrump is spewing currently.

I was up unable to sleep and up again by 4.00am this morning. I think I’ve lost my ability to identify lyrics. Brain is too full of calculations about various different ways Biden could win, whilst also trying to plan a new kitchen layout. It’s all a bit 😜 round here.

I think Flouncer may have guessed the Smashing pumpkins track but I’m totally lost...

Will try to scrape together my various outstanding ones shortly.

OK, here's the outstanding ones with some extra lyrics for the politically astute but exhausted amongst you.

If they don't get got, I'll give you the answers tomorrow. But I think when you're less addled, you'll get most of them.

Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched
80s

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
70s All by Myself Eric Carmen - already got.

Realms of bliss, realms of light
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to the endless night
End of the night, end of the night
End of the night, end of the night
60s

But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart

70s (I can't believe no one got this one!)

Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted to
Each other forever

80s, Shake the Disease, Depeche Mode - already got

opps, missed one.

Can't believe no one got this one either:

Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of Heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose
You know it's alright, it's okay
70s

Correct to @FlouncerInDenial for Style Council & @Honeyroar for Annie Lennox/Eurythmics 👍😊

Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of Heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose
You know it's alright, it's okay

Bee Gees?

Staying Alive

70s (I can't believe no one got this one!)

I can’t believe it either Flouncer - I know I know it!

Perhaps if I mute CNN for a few minutes it might filter through...?

Morning all!
The “I just can’t convince myself” one is The Police, So Lonely.

@FlouncerInDenial the one you've added the lyrics 'end of the night to' is called End of the Night by the Doors. I'm sure you put it as 80s originally not 60s

It was on the edge of my subconscious all yesterday evening !

Remember we met and the room was crowded
And I can't forget the way that it started
80's

That day in September, I'm sure you can remember
That's when all the stuff hit the fan
94

Hello all

Still outstanding. 80s

I've learned to feel what I cannot see
But with you I lose that vision
I don't know how to dream your dream
So I'm all caught up in superstition

@Fleamaker123
