@midgebabe

Everybody dance now

And I love easy, after today easy is lovely

@midgebabe - is that an answer? Who's the artist?
Honeyroar · 09/12/2020 22:08

Jona Lewie apparently

midgebabe · 09/12/2020 22:09

She's been at uni, and stuck there since DH is diabetic

But the magic of tests and the kindness of her flatmates ( who all tested and ioslated between tests) have brought her home

Feeling folk rock today

Oh dear needtoknow, does that happen often?
DS has Covid so I have to work from home yay! Luckily he hasn't been poorly with it and fingers crossed me and DP don't get it.

@NeedToKnow101

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..

First one is called dance to the music.
NeedToKnow101 · 09/12/2020 22:13

Correct Elf on the Shelf 🙌🏼 who by?

midgebabe · 09/12/2020 22:13

The day they knocked down the palais my sister stood and cried

Been done recently but fits the theme

Me too! I can hear him singing in his room .. a whole ballad (can't guess it myself) ... he never sings 😂😂 ..
NeedToKnow101 · 09/12/2020 22:18

No he's fine, just had cold symptoms really..

Only one song to guess from my flurry... it's a biggie!

midgebabe · 09/12/2020 22:18

Yes it is good to have her home! Just wish work wasn't quite so bad at the moment and I could chill with her more

And hope needtoknows family all stay well.

We did mama Mia on the drive home, it was so lovely seeing her head bopping in the back seat like when she was doing Jonny bangs with one hammer when she was small

😍😍 aw so sweet when they're big, remembering how they were when they were little..

midgebabe · 09/12/2020 22:24

But that reminds me of another theme. Possibly a little tricker than the last one, give me a couple of days .

shinynewapple2020 · 09/12/2020 22:34

Some more to Midge's theme - easy and cheesy !!

Where they play the right music . Getting in the swing

70s

I found my sense of rhythm but I lost my self control

70s

From my head to my toes
Take me again
And heaven who knows
Just where it will end

80s

Honeyroar · 09/12/2020 22:35

Dancing Queen - Abba

Honeyroar · 09/12/2020 22:36

Nolan’s - I’m in the mood

Honeyroar · 09/12/2020 22:38

Can’t quite think of the rhythm one, Blame it on the boogie?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
NeedToKnow101 · 09/12/2020 22:40

Oi! @shinynewapple2020 - that's my theme, not Midges!

shinynewapple2020 · 09/12/2020 22:46

Yes to Dancing Queen and I'm in the mood for dancing @Honeyroar

But it's not blame it on the boogie

Oh sorry @NeedToKnow101 I should have realised the theme was too straightforward for Midge Grin
