A is Disco Inferno

Second is DISCO

Dunno the third

Fourth is Whitney I wanna dance...

Fifth tings a bell

Sixth is Lionel All night long

Dunno the last one.

I think we’ll have a job getting New Model Army to play these!!

I'm sure NMA could do some excellent covers/reworking on these, honey.

Have a word.

Tell them the laydeez (etc) from the song lyrics threads are heading their way.

Soon as lockdown's over.

Free on December 3rd everyone????

It was Deelite Coffee, you’re right.

I was trying to post a song lyric for the theme, I thought it was the Housemartins, but I cannot find it. It went
You’re gonna find me
La la la la
Out in the country
(80s)

Does anyone recognise it?

FlouncerInDenial · 16/11/2020 23:29

@Iggi999

Wasn't it an advert?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 16/11/2020 23:33

Groove is in the Heart. I thought I’d answered it.

Iggi999 · 16/11/2020 23:34

Haha flouncer Grin What I am of course doing is letting others go for the easy ones and only answering the ones no one has got yet Grin your first guess might be right

Honeyroar · 16/11/2020 23:34

Not Big country

Iggi999 · 16/11/2020 23:35

Could the put in the country one be Bow wow wow? Something about wild in the country, where snakes in the grass are absolutely free.

Honeyroar · 16/11/2020 23:36

Coffee that’s the right song, but someone must have covered it - whatever is in my head is much better!

FlouncerInDenial · 16/11/2020 23:36

@Honeyroar

Groove is in the Heart. I thought I’d answered it.
Didn't see that, and have just been back to check.

Mind you, I'm dazzled by your glaring error of confusing whitney with madonna

Honeyroar · 16/11/2020 23:37

Iggi it’s not that, but it would work perfectly for the theme! Give it a few minutes and we’ll have all forgotten it...

CoffeeBeansGalore · 16/11/2020 23:38

@Honeyroar You're gonna find me is Cliff Richard & the Shadows. I needed a minute to place the voice
