Ah, yes it is @Iggi999, David Grant.

Looks like that is a point each @Iggi999

Correct Carnage and Iggi for Mated ✅

I liked some of their stuff.. but I do remember my teenage self feeling a bit uneasy at them singing about being 'mated' 🤣

Yes, I thought that too Flea, I still cringe now!

Ok 1a the next line is

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh! Is it REM? Man on the moon, I think.

😂 @Fleamaker123

Yeah honey !

So now we have Valerie by.....??? And REM...hum...perhaps you had to be there?

Zootons!?

It was indeed

I thought of a really cheesy song to post on my way home today, but I've forgotten it. It will come back to me.

This is going to take a long time
And I wonder what’s mine
Can’t take no more
(80s)

We can go when we want to
Night is young and so am I
(80s)

We can talk to strangers
We are burning with the spark
And we can walk on water
(80s)

@midgebabe Ahem, I posted Valerie by the Zutons or Amy Winehouse at 10.10am . . . .

@Honeyroar

We can talk to strangers We are burning with the spark And we can walk on water (80s)

Song is we close our eyes

@Honeyroar

This is going to take a long time And I wonder what’s mine Can’t take no more (80s)

This will come to me eventually. I can sing the lines you've posted but the rest isn't coming at the moment.

@Honeyroar

Only you

@Honeyroar

We can go when we want to Night is young and so am I (80s)

And your friends all dance And if they don't dance, they're no friends of mine.

My dad liked this song.

Safety dance

Did anyone guess the very obscure links???? I'm too drunk to make sense of any of it...

Ahem @CoffeeBeansGalore but it matters which band.

I still can't guess the link, woke up in the night thinking about this bloomin' thread!!

ok so I though you lot would get the link quickly which would help you rattle through songs, because you are usually so bloody impressive!

So now we have the zutons with REM.

We have moot the hopple with the band who sang about the privy councillors...

this is the easiest verse of that. Until death took one of them, they were one of the biggest bands on the planet who never seems to feature on here

Fear me you lord and lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine
........

You have the house martins with a lovely waltz from a band that still tours and releases new material every year

Your beauty and kindness
Made tears clear my blindness
While I a, worth my room on this earth
I will be with you
While the chief
.......

Your beauty and kindness
Made tears clear my blindness
While I a, worth my room on this earth
I will be with you
While the chief

That's sunshine on Leith by the proclaimers
