That’s just what I was thinking @NeedToKnow101 - and wondering whether our little shelf cleaner is poorly!

Fleamaker123 · 06/12/2020 10:43

Can I just say Captain of her heart was by Double
a somewhat pathetic little offering I know compared to all your literary contributions 😂

Pleasurably hungover!
Honeyroar · 06/12/2020 12:58

That’s good. Wouldn’t want our little thread grinch poorly - we’re quite fond of you too!

Honeyroar · 06/12/2020 12:58

Double! They were Swiss, weren’t they? I kept thinking of Yellow!

Well done again @NeedToKnow101, The Wild Boys is indeed a novel by William Burroughs. 200 bonus connection points coming your way. Have I missed something or did you rather unconventionally go,straight for the connection without anyone identifying the song/artist first?

(Lord of the Flies is William Golding)

🌟🌟🌟 for you

No! She identified the link AFTER I got the songs. Twice

Norwegian Wood - I got the song
Wild Boys - I got the song.

Then Needtoknow sidled slyly in and is getting 0000s of bonus points off the back of MY knowledge.

I'm (a) demanding a steward's enquiry and (b) taking any points I chucked her way this morning and (c) glaring my glariest glare

NeedToKnow101 · 06/12/2020 19:56

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 06/12/2020 20:13

These are all for Needtoknow, although anyone welcome to guess.

There is a theme

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
70s

Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain
We're like how we were again
I'm in the tub, you on the seat
Lick your lips as I soak my feet
00s

When tears come down
Like falling rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
Several versions in the 50s and 60s

If six of y'all went out, ah
Then four of you were really cheap, yeah
Cause only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt
90s

Boy, look at me in my face
Tell me that you're not just about this bass
You really think I could be replaced
Nah, I come from outer space
And I'm a classy girl, I'mma hold it up
You're full of something but it ain't love
And what we got, straight overdue
Go find somebody new
2014 (sorry! But I did give the whole verse)

She rushes to his arms they fall together
She whispers it's only for a while
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
70s

And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
You'd hold me until you died
'Til you died, but you're still alive
90s

Honeyroar · 06/12/2020 20:14

Six of y’all’s Whitney - It’s not right but it’s ok

Honeyroar · 06/12/2020 20:15

She rushes to his arms = The Eagles. Lying eyes.

Honeyroar · 06/12/2020 20:16

Every time you speak = Alanis Morrisette- You Ought to know.

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 06/12/2020 20:20

All correct, honey. And the theme?

Honeyroar · 06/12/2020 20:24

I couldn’t possibly guess that one! 😄😝

Fleamaker123 · 06/12/2020 20:57

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
70s

ClearingSpace is this Jolene, Dolly Parton

NeedToKnow101 · 06/12/2020 21:02

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf - all for me? How sweet of you.. I'm flattered Grin😍😘... (looks around desperately for an emergency getaway air vent ..)

'Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain
We're like how we were again
I'm in the tub, you on the seat
Lick your lips as I soak my feet'
That's Amy Winehouse.. can't remember the title..

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 06/12/2020 21:14

Try, needtoknow.

Theme anyone? There are points available....

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 06/12/2020 21:15

Correct flea

FlouncingBabooshka · 06/12/2020 21:15

The Amy Winehouse one is I Cheated Myself.

Sorry I missed your Wild Boys Answer @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf - I’ve confused myself by posting too many lyrics at the same time...the bonus points are for the connection to the theme though - so @NeedToKnow101was awarded them quite legitimately.
I will not be pressured into rescinding them...

CoffeeBeansGalore · 06/12/2020 21:29

Is the theme cheating?

OP posts:
Honeyroar · 06/12/2020 21:47

You can’t offer points for this theme when I just got the Victoria Cross for the last theme! 😡😡

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 06/12/2020 21:48

It IS coffee. Well done
