1. Fergus sings the blues by Deacon Blue
2. Keep me hanging on by Kim Wilde
3. Love cats by The Cure

@Bluesheep8 Well done, 3 out of 3 👍😊🏆

[quote NeedToKnow101]@FlouncerInDenial - it's the end of the world as we know it?

I'm sure I either got that, or posted it too [/quote]
Well done, needtoknow.

Sorry if you got it and I missed it. I will award you double points

@NeedToKnow101

80s While they're standing in the welfare lines Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation Wasting time in the unemployment lines Sitting around waiting for a promotion

(Cheery song! )

This is tracy Chapman, I think? The song is talkin' about a revolution

@NeedToKnow101

Number 3 is the Police.

I don't think anyone named the song?

Is it I'll be watching you?

@CoffeeBeansGalore

All 80s

People say I should forget
New friend tomorrow
Don't get upset
People say she's doing fine
Mutual friends I see sometime

It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over

Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace

Is the first one fine young cannibals?

Would you guys like some easy ones later?
When is good?

Needtoknow, are you free later on today or this evening? Or else tomorrow?

@FlouncerInDenial Well done to Fine young cannibals. 😊👍. The Police one was Every breath you take

Easy ones would be good later 😄. I'm not going out other than walkies 🐶

Aw @FlouncerInDenial that's sweet of you, I'm around this evening 😍...

"This is tracy Chapman, I think? The song is talkin' about a revolution"
Correct @FlouncerInDenial 🙌🏼

Off he went with a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump..
(Alright I might have changed that a tad!)

🤣🥂🎆🥳

I just posted another lyric instead of the title 😱

And, btw, honey, I think that is the right lyric

I got a bit carried away with easy lyrics. I've got soooo many for you, I might have to break them down to 2 or even 3 separate posts.

If they are very easy like 'quick fire' if it's not too much trouble to do individual posts it's easier to copy and reply

Ok.
DH is sat on the computer atm, when he's done, I'll copy n paste them all in.

About 1/2 hour?

Or number them?
Oh the excitement builds !

Oh no!! That's when my curry's coming

@shinynewapple2020

Oh no!! That's when my curry's coming

You gotta prioritise @shinynewapple2020 - show some loyalty (just finished my dinner - perfect timing - smugface)

Here we go.

Remember, these are easy peasy, so no points. It's just for fun.

However, because they're soooooo easy, there could be point deductions for horrendous wrong guesses...

You're such a lovely audience,
We'd like to take you home with us, we'd love to take you home
