@NeedToKnow101 I just treated Mr FB to my own idiosyncratic version. I don’t have your beat boxing skills though!

😂😂😂 it's so damn sing-able. (I think my 'beat-boxing' is pretty idiosyncratic too).

midgebabe · 21/11/2020 20:42

Is the peck on the cheek one really the 60s????

NeedToKnow101 · 21/11/2020 20:43

You run like a river on to the sea
You run like a river runs to the sea

Is that the Whole of the moon by the Waterboys?

midgebabe · 21/11/2020 20:52

@FlouncingBabooshka

The kinks come dancing was 1980s and those lyrics sure fit into my version of that song

midgebabe · 21/11/2020 20:58

Although whole of the moon and life on Mars make a space theme that is absent in any dancing

I'm probably wrong though with Whole of the moon .. I usually am Grin
NeedToKnow101 · 21/11/2020 21:02

I am wrong, just checked. Blush I'll put some lyrics up I read it's safer.

Here we stand on a rocky shore
Your father stood here before you
I can see his ghost explore you
I can feel the sea implore you

NeedToKnow101 · 21/11/2020 21:03

Instead

midgebabe · 21/11/2020 21:05

Ballroom blitz?

midgebabe · 21/11/2020 21:05

Ballroom blitz for he's more evil tha. Anybody thought

No idea why I think that

Honeyroar · 21/11/2020 21:06

I can’t even imagine a beat box version!🤔

NeedToKnow101 · 21/11/2020 21:12

well tbh not really beatbox; it's more I did all the instrument noises as well as singing... god i'm so fucking talented apart from at guessing lyrics

NeedToKnow101 · 21/11/2020 21:13

80s
Just keep the devil in hell
Just keep the trains on the rail
Just keep the stars in the sky
And keep the money for sale
Just let the crippled ones walk
And let the silent ones talk
Just make the blind so they see
And the sad ones happy

FlouncingBabooshka · 21/11/2020 21:15

@midgebabe - Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view oops, sorry, 60s was a typo and you’re right with Come Dancing! 🌟🌟 💃 🕺

The other one isn’t Ballroom Blitz though you may be closer than you think...

FlouncingBabooshka · 21/11/2020 21:16

@NeedToKnow101

Oh, I did instrument noises too! I was trying to work out how you did a beat box brass section Grin
midgebabe · 21/11/2020 21:17

I don't know what I am thinking! But since dh is now doing sing a long a floyd, I doubt I will make more progress

FlouncingBabooshka · 21/11/2020 21:17

Not Whole of the Moon...sorry.

midgebabe · 21/11/2020 21:19
