Grrr. Pipped twice.

I like an easy lyric myself

@Honeyroar

The draw the line one is Hall and Oates. Can’t go for that.

Double pipped, honey!

@CoffeeBeansGalore

I have had to fight almost every night Down throughout these centuries That is when I say, oh yes yet again 80s

That’s Jona Lewie, Stop the Cavalry 🎄

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Btw, if points, especially extra points and most especially of all LOADS of extra points are being awarded for hard themes, then - ahem - my DH got midge's devilishly difficult theme the other week.

He can't have the points himself as he doesn't have a MN account.

Hmmmm. I wonder which of us he'll award his points to 🤔

Bonus theme-related points are awarded at the discretion of the poster of the theme.

Didn’t someone called Flouncer in denial once wipe someone else’s entire points for asking their other half??

@Honeyroar & @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf correct to Visage, Fade to Grey. @Fleamaker123 best you to Hall & Oates Trophy.

@FlouncingBabooshka Correct to Stop the Cavalry 👍😊🎅

I remember that poster. I seem to think she was very wise and intelligent and clearly very attractive as well as probably the best poster of lyrics and guesser of lyrics these threads have seen.

If she were still here, I suspect she'd point out that points were wiped from the poster who asked her other half and posted the answer on the thread; but for midge's theme, the DH pm'd midge without telling his wife what the answer was.

A VERY different thing. And hence why he gets the points, but can't accept them as he isn't on MN. And why his wife is stealing being awarded them in his place

Can't quote as it's a quoted post, but FlouncingB:

...... awarded at the discretion of the poster

Whaaaaaaaaat?????? midge, my lovely, beautiful, favouritest poster on here. PM'ing you now.....

I award the DH who got my horrendously difficult theme 50,000 points

sniggers

Mmmm I smell a "nearly" rat . . . .

Wave your hands in the air
Like you don't care, glide by
The people as they stop to look and stare.
80s

Is that word up?

If so, it's cameo

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Whistles innocently

@NeedToKnow101
Easy ones for me !

Although depending on our personal tastes we'll find different lyrics easy .

Correct to word up 👍😊

I am being stalked!! If I get to award points for the devilishly hard theme, can I have them back on the basis that someone apparently wiped all my points because they thought the theme was too hard ?

More for my outstanding one. It's been guessed before 😊

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of Heaven turns too dark

Xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx when he's calling for you
Xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx, there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx before you tell him goodbye

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams

Yes and that's triggering me. Pass me the smelling salts quick..

I've just got back from the covid version of out out! 💃🏽
Lunch outside with a million layers on basically..

Anyway no-one got this which I think is quite easy..

See the people walking down the street
Fall in line just watching all their feet
They don't know where they wanna go
But they're walking in time
80s

Wild guess, probably wrong. Walk the dinosaur????

Envious of you going out, needtoknow. I'm in T2, but my friends are refusing to meet me because i have no friends they're worried about putting at risk the aging parents they're all desperate to see at Christmas
