  1. Have had a roller coaster few days..since dd is home for the first time this year, I took a few days off work , lovely , but foolish, so now I need a little unwinding, so over to you guys,

    1. These are the days it never rains but it pours, 80s
    2. Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping , 80s
    3. And if I had an aeroplane, I still couldn’t make it on time ‘80s
    4. And it’s strange to her, some people seem to have everything ‘80

Extra points for saving me the job of remembering to write there was a theme
And you are right with bangles

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 09/12/2020 21:40

2 is dolly 9 - 5.

Theme is work?

midgebabe · 09/12/2020 21:41

Oh no, more point for the elf on the shelf

NeedToKnow101 · 09/12/2020 21:48

I've got a theme coming on shortly too...

Honeyroar · 09/12/2020 21:56

Midge no 3 is Manic Monday by the Bangles

NeedToKnow101 · 09/12/2020 21:57

All we need is a drummer
For people who only need a beat
I'm gonna add a little guitar
And make it easy to move your feet
60s

Loneliness is a crowded room
Full of open hearts turned to stone
All together all alone
All at once my whole world had changed
70s

Sway through the crowd to an empty space
80s

Here is the dome, back with the bass
The jam is live in effect and I don't waste time
On the mic with a dope rhyme
Jump to the rhythm, jump, jump to the rhythm jump
90s

Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang-oh
00s

One for each decade in our remit and beyond
Very easy theme..

Honeyroar · 09/12/2020 21:57

Oops sorry Shiny got that!
No 1 is Queen - Under pressure (+ Bowie)

midgebabe · 09/12/2020 21:58

Correct honey

Honeyroar · 09/12/2020 21:59

@NeedToKnow101
Sway through the crowd is Bowie - Let’s Dance

midgebabe · 09/12/2020 22:00

Sway through the crowd is Bowie again tonight, let's dance

Honeyroar · 09/12/2020 22:00

Loneliness one is Dance Away - Roxy Music
(So the theme is dance?)

midgebabe · 09/12/2020 22:01

I will guess dancing

midgebabe · 09/12/2020 22:01

Oh hec, behind the times each time

NeedToKnow101 · 09/12/2020 22:02

Yes both well done, pipped and not pipped. Sorry my theme was too easy.. 😍😘

Honeyroar · 09/12/2020 22:03

The Rio one is Arctic Monkeys - I bet you look good on the dance floor

NeedToKnow101 · 09/12/2020 22:03

I'm self isolating so I might do an obscure theme tomorrow.

midgebabe · 09/12/2020 22:04

Everybody dance now

And I love easy, after today easy is lovely

midgebabe · 09/12/2020 22:04

Oh dear needtoknow, does that happen often?

Honeyroar · 09/12/2020 22:05

Wish I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love
(80s and fits the dancing theme)

NeedToKnow101 · 09/12/2020 22:06
