This is Patti Labelle and Michael Mcdonald, on my own
(now we're up to talking divorce and we aren't even married... cringey lyric alert)

Correct Flea. And yes to cringey lyric..

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Theme Love gone wrong/splitting up?

No, although it could be!

🤣🤣🤣

Needtoknow, you are are great appeaser, but it's hard when you're a sucker for points, isn't it!
dangles points seductively in front of needtoknow's nose and waves them back and forth

Enjoy your wine n cheese 💋 (jealous)

You just went too far Ropy, and the scales have fallen from my eyes. I no longer care about my imaginary points on your imaginary spreadsheet. I'm free of your crazy-making tyranny!

(Thanks got a lovely smelly Camembert 😘 )

😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

But.... but.... but, needtoknow, it's amused me for sooooo long that you're the most desperate for the (admittedly imaginary) points of everyone on here.

You can't change now.

Have another bit of camembert and top up your wine.

Since I was asked to contribute more ( mega points to that poster whoever it was) here is another theme.

As ever there is extra help available, which is not a Machiavellian ploy, I promise.

Getting 4 or 5 may help the other.

I am posting as me and i do promise I won’t create an alter ego who gets all the points

1. Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts 00s

1. Run away I’ve got to

Get away you don’t really want any more from me 80’s

1. And she won’t have to worry

She’ll dress up all in lace and go in style 70s

1. No more broken hearts

We’re better off apart let’s give it a try 80s

1. I’ll dry the tears from your eyes

Oh let our love survive 60s, 70s probably, 80s , 90s

1. And I can’t help feeling somehow

You don’t mean anything you say at all 80s

1. Tainted Love Soft Cell

1 more for my theme..

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old

This one is for me (escaping Shelf's tyranny)

Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
(Didn't know what I wanted to be)
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
(I said I guess it was enough for me)
90s

The docellate is nice too.
