Hi Folks. Hopefully coffee around and anyone else who wasn't last night.
I wonder if shiny ever got her dinner?

These are my (supposedly) very easy ones which haven't been got yet. If they don't get get tonight, I'll add more to them tomorrow. I do (honestly) think they're pretty easy, though. 2 in particular.
Or I can add more to them now if you guys think you've had enough opportunities to guess them?

Touch me and I feel on fire
70s

I'll watch you crumble like a very old wall
80s

She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
90s

Keep our teeth nice and clean
90s

@FlouncerInDenial Grin - you were very close

FlouncerInDenial · 08/11/2020 20:46

Well done, Carnage.

Here's the final one with more lyrics. I think you're all going to be surprised to you didn't get it quicker (although, it is my kind of music, less so for the rest of you):

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

FlouncerInDenial · 08/11/2020 20:47

oh, Pantry got it.

NeedToKnow101 · 08/11/2020 20:48

Hyperactive- Was it Thomas Dolby ?

Correct @CarnageAtTheGardenCentre and @AJumpedUpPantryBoy
🙌🏼

Men on fire pray for rain
Who are madmen, who is sane?

80s.

Anybody guessed the group/ artist for mine above yet ?

CarnageAtTheGardenCentre · 08/11/2020 21:03

Seems not.
It was Red Box, and @Iggi999 got the title earlier, lean on me.

It was one of, or the first, song to include a BSL interpreter in the video.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 08/11/2020 21:16

@FlouncerInDenial Nirvana, Smells like Teen Spirit? Thought someone had got it? I will trawl back & check (don't award me any points as I really am not sure that it hasn't been guessed)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 08/11/2020 21:18

Or was that the song Pantry got that you were refering to?

Sorry, been baking so only flicked through.

FlouncerInDenial · 08/11/2020 21:28

I'm awarding you pantry's points, coffee sniffs
That'll learn her

FlouncerInDenial · 08/11/2020 21:29

What you been baking?

I can't show the brownies from earlier as they were polished off whilst still warm 😄

Fleamaker123 · 08/11/2020 21:39

That looks delicious 😍

CoffeeBeansGalore · 08/11/2020 21:47

@Fleamaker123 It is! Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Just a nice little indulgence 😊

OP posts:
Honeyroar · 08/11/2020 21:53

Yum!

FlouncerInDenial · 08/11/2020 22:02

Wow, coffee.

That looks amazing.

Yes, I'll take a slice with some ice cream, thank you

FlouncingBabooshka · 08/11/2020 22:26

These two from my Halloween themed selection were never guessed. For the first the group name fits the theme, for the second it’s the song title.

00s
So if there's any other way
To spell the word, it's fine with me
With me
Why would you speak to me that way?
Especially when I always said that I
Haven't got the words for you
All your diction, dripping with disdain
Through the pain, I always tell the truth

70s
They've got the stars for the gallant hearts.
I'm the replacement for your part.
But all I want to do is forget
You, friend.
