Hey ... could you give me somethin'
To ease the pain, to ease the pain
'Cause if you don't help me soon
Gonna lose my brain, gonna go insane

On the theme 80s(?)

Correct @FlouncerInDenial 🙌🏼😍.. by Gloria Estefan!

Miami sound machine, wasn’t it? Before she went solo.

Honeyroar · 16/11/2020 09:59

You tell me that you love me everyday
When we’re alone I really feel in love
But when we’re out with friends I see a change
(80s and first two letter of the title fit the theme!)

Bluesheep8 · 16/11/2020 10:42

Bluesheep8 · 16/11/2020 10:49

Oh yeh that's what I thought actually.. extra points for you!!! 🙏🏼
NeedToKnow101 · 16/11/2020 11:05

I even get my own ones wrong! 🤪🤣

Fleamaker123 · 16/11/2020 11:20

Does anyone remember the video to AEIOU, it summed up the 80's for me!

FlouncingBabooshka · 16/11/2020 12:45

Thanks for all the kind words lovely people!

Mr FB had to have a litre of saline solution flushed through his eye (and something else done that I can’t disclose because if it has the same effect on you reading it as it had in me hearing they were going to do it I will induce mass nausea). The doctors and nurses were very impressed by his stoicism. Apparently they have to have the saline flush thing done in training and, unlike DH, none of them managed to cope with the whole litre in one go. One said he ‘cried like a baby’ when they were doing it to him. Luckily I could invoke my carer status so at least DH could do a lot of hand squeezing rather than being on his own. It was freezing last night and I felt so sorry for the tiny frail old man who was having to wait outside in a very thinlooking jacket while his wife was having treatment. Sad

Anyway, Mr FB looking like a much happier person today Smile

Here’s another easy one on the theme:

But I know I'm on a losing streak
As I pass down by your street

90s.

FlouncingBabooshka · 16/11/2020 12:48

Oh and well done @CarnageAtTheGardenCentre, @Honeyroar and @shinynewapple2020 - points for all 🌟

Bluesheep8 · 16/11/2020 12:50

But I know I'm on a losing streak
As I pass down by your street

That's the drugs don't work by The Verve

midgebabe · 16/11/2020 13:52

@FlouncingBabooshka glad to hear he's feeling better

shinynewapple2020 · 16/11/2020 14:41

Glad to hear that all is well @FlouncingBabooshka

Another one to the theme ! 1970s

A lovin spoonful to be taken
It's the only way
To stop this empty heart of mine from breakin

This is a TERRIBLE song.

Is it called doctor's orders

P.s. shiny. Saw you on another thread. Considerably more serious and highbrow than this one though. Library was there too

FlouncerInDenial · 16/11/2020 16:34

Continuing the theme (hoping midge is watching and taking notes)

Every task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see

60s, I think

midgebabe · 16/11/2020 16:56

A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

midgebabe · 16/11/2020 16:57

I have an idea to try and see if I have got the hang of it all.....not today I think as working late tonight , but you are at least forewarned

shinynewapple2020 · 16/11/2020 17:14

@FlouncerInDenial
Nothing is more serious and highbrow than this thread Grin

Correct with Doctors orders . Google tells me it was by Carol Douglas although memory tells me it was someone called Sunny. Perhaps there's more than one version Shock

NeedToKnow101 · 16/11/2020 17:59

Theme continued..

Hey go get the doctor, doctor came too late
Another night I feel alright my love for you can't wait
80s
