And it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears, so far, are a waste of time
If I turn away
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do
1970s

It’s all gone a bit mad in here! I suspect there are some drunken teachers around.

Yes correct to Off the wall by the Jacksons.

Everybody. All you people gather round.

shinynewapple2020 · 24/10/2020 21:47

Like the sweet sound of hip music
There'll always be something new
To keep the tables turning
Hey this super song
There'll never be an ending
70a

FlouncingBabooshka · 24/10/2020 21:56

It’s nice to be back everyone. Thanks for keeping this going @CoffeeBeansGalore

Some offerings for disco night

70s
Give me the melody that's all that I ever need
The music is my salvation

80s
I took my baby to the doctor
With a fever, but nothing he found

80s
Girl, love can be such a challenge
A game where there can be two winners
Unlike any sport

70s
Everybody, all you people gather round

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/10/2020 21:56

@shinynewapple2020 Correct to If I can't have you 😊👍

FlouncingBabooshka · 24/10/2020 21:57

Oops - notice @CoffeeBeansGalore has already posted my last one.

It’s use it up and wear it out by Odyssey. One of my favourite disco songs.

When the morning cries and you don't know why

You're goin' nowhere

Honeyroar · 24/10/2020 22:07

People ask me why
I never find a place to stop and settle down
Down down

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/10/2020 22:08

They all say that I'm a fool, uh-huh
For lovin' you, for lovin' you this way
But sure as I am, I don't give a damn
About what the people, what the people say
