FlouncerInDenial · 07/11/2020 20:11

Yes to Aha, Pantry and Rick Astley. You’re getting all the greats! Good save with Common People. I love that song too.

Yes to Phil Collins, shiny (is your food ever going to come???)

Yes to It’s oh so quiet, Needtoknow. And your’re right with Glory Box.

My husband's relief is palpable, flea. Well done!

Glad he's been put out of his misery 😂 That was fun thanks FlouncerInDenial, and I actually guessed some too!
NeedToKnow101 · 07/11/2020 20:20

To be fair, The Beatles are a bit old school these days. Please don't tell your husband I said this @FlouncerInDenial ...

shinynewapple2020 · 07/11/2020 20:25

Yes thank you @FlouncerInDenial I enjoy doing the quick fire easy ones Smile like a dope just realised everyone is ordering take outs tonight ! No wonder it's late .

Honeyroar · 07/11/2020 20:28

And I still find it so hard is Blue Monday by New Irder.

FlouncerInDenial · 07/11/2020 20:29

Needtoknow, DH is outraged!

Glad you enjoyed it, guys. It was fun to think of the songs, and fun watching you all scramble 💓
And there are actually a few still outstanding, so if coffee and anyone else who wasn't here but would have liked to play rocks up, I can re post those for her/them.

Honeyroar · 07/11/2020 20:29
