FlouncerInDenial · 14/11/2020 15:37

The rest of us are all obviously thick as mince, flea!

midgebabe · 14/11/2020 15:39

Thank God for that!!! Grin

Fleamaker123 · 14/11/2020 15:40

😂😂

Bluesheep8 · 14/11/2020 15:41

I meant thank God it's solved and we can all stop thinking about it now

Bluesheep8 · 14/11/2020 15:45

I'm going to think up some more lyrics that have a link...I'll be back with them

midgebabe · 14/11/2020 15:48

Would I get extra points if I promise NOT to think up any more for a while?

FlouncerInDenial · 14/11/2020 15:57

Midge, love, next time you want to do a theme, stick to days of the week or colours or something, eh!

All your points have been inexplicably wiped from the spreadsheet. In fact, you're in deficit.

And i predict you'll get nothing on awards night, other maybe Most Dastardly Poster.

But the rest of us are giving needtoknow serious competition in the wrong guesses category now.

Wasn’t 3b guessed Midge? If not, is it I was made for loving you by Kiss?

(I can’t even get easy themes, in fact I can’t even work out which lyrics have been guessed usually!)

midgebabe · 14/11/2020 16:16

There 3b was missing , so thanks honey

FlouncerInDenial · 14/11/2020 16:36

Stable doors, honey

CoffeeBeansGalore · 14/11/2020 17:33

Ruddy hell @midgebabe, it's Saturday, don't do that to us!!!!

But I wouldn't have got that link in a 1000 years as I don't really follow live performances, let alone have indepth knowledge.

I think most dastsrdly poster is a category contender . . . . 😁

I think as a bit of light relief from this fraught episode shall we do some claims to fame (however tenuous)? We can combine it with related songs..

Here's my first one 1980s

Driving down those city streets
Waiting to get down
Won't you get your big machine
Somewhere in this town

NeedToKnow101 · 14/11/2020 17:44

Prepare yourself, you know it a must
Gotta have a friend named Jesus
So you know that when you die

(70s originally but 80s)

NeedToKnow101 · 14/11/2020 17:46

What is wrong in my life
That I must get drunk every night?

80s

midgebabe · 14/11/2020 17:49

Gonna take up to the spirit in the sky

Dr and the medics

Correct @midgebabe 🙌🏼 and my C2F is they did a gig at my university many moons ago, then came to my student house to continue the party. I think one of them got off with my housemate but it's hazy.. Wink

midgebabe · 14/11/2020 18:06

I see you have now got a game I can't play as I have absolutely no CTF at all!

NeedToKnow101 · 14/11/2020 18:15

@midgebabe

Oh no! ☹️😢 can you make one up? Have you got none by proxy? C'mon you must have!

Fine young cannibals.

Johnny come home? Something like that

FlouncerInDenial · 14/11/2020 19:21

I have zero stories, but these are the ones I wanted to sleep with snog(apologies for the fact this is going to include music you're all not that keen on.

So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favour
80s

If it is I'd like for you to know
That I'm not worth it, you see
80s

All alone ain't much fun, so you're looking for the thrill
80s

Right, I didn't fancy this next person, but you lot are never going to get the band he plays with, and I think he's the most fanciable now
Talk about a girl
Talk about a boy
Countin' all the ripples on the sea
80s hit of a much older song

Just an urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case so buy me something to eat
I'll pay you at another time
80s

She ain't no human being
And there's no future
In England's dreaming
70s

You were the first girl at school to get breasts
90s

So in your broken home he broke all your bones
90s

Did she go to work or just go to the store?
70s

There's my crushes in chronological order
