Ah, Mr FlouncingB has just informed me that Cheer Up Sleepy Jean, although not the actual title is the bracketed bit that comes after the actual title. I was so confused about how you could have both got the same wrong answer!

Still a point going for the proper title...

You wanted all

Gah, carnage!

It's definitely the chorus.

Homecoming queen?

Daydream believer

I think all the people who are comfortable on this thread are of a certain age.
The monkees are a teeny bit before my time, but my older cousin loved the monkees though

@Fleamaker123 - Feels like Heaven Fiction Factory?

FlouncingBabooshka is it daydream believer? I'm singing it but it's morphing into 'Now I'm a believer'??

Yes Carnage for Fiction Factory ✅

I used to morph Donna Summer’s This time I know it’s for real with Kim Wilde’s You came, like it was the same song. But then, of course, it was. Stock Aitken and Waterman........

Ahem, sorry, as you were......

And you know, ooh girl that I'm not shy
I'm glad you picked up, on my telepathy, now baby

80's

Hate that song Flea. It’s Shake you down, can’t remember the singer Abbot or something??

Yes Gregory Abbott 👍 sorry to remind you 🤣

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre

Ahem, sorry, as you were......

Stock aitken and waterman... God they were everywhere!

Can you explain @midgebabe hotel California ? Is the song about a dream then ?

Well I always think it's a bad dream, nightmare, the kind where you keep waking up only you haven't really ? My version usually involves falling down the stairs entangled in the duvet, so on balance being trapped in a hotel in California might be better

I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go

70s

I do sometimes get the totally wrong end of any stick though, and songs are particularly bad for that because of my tendency to mishear lyrics
