@SimplySteveRedux you really had me wondering if you were 77 for a moment last night! Sorry you haven’t got your referral. Come and distract yourself with us!x

@SimplySteveRedux - that sounds tricky and stressful.. glad you're back, we'll keep you company while you steal our points ❤️

Bahaha, not quite 77, but it is my birthday in 16 days!

Sorry to hear things are still tough, steve.

Come and distract yourself with song lyrics!

(You're stuffed for points, though)

You're all incredible 💝

(You're stuffed for points, though)

Oh I am, am I?! I'll have you crying into your pre-Christmas tipple in no time 🤣🤣

@honeyroar correct to Feels like heaven 👍😊

@SimplySteveRedux Hello 👋, sorry you've had a rough time. Fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Evening All

All 80s, no link 😁

Well I'm gonna get myself 'cross the river
That's a price I'm willing to pay
I'm gonna make you stand and deliver
And give me love in the old-fashion way

I had to escape, the city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you

Now baby, I know that you think I will be different now
Inside of me nothing has changed
So I'm asking you again, oh
Please no one else could have brought me back
No one that ever could change me please, of the memories I kept within my heart

First one is When the going gets tough (the tough get going) - Billy Ocean.

Is the second one I drove all night? Roy Orbison or Cyndi Lauder.

@Honeyroar Yes well done to both 👍😊 It looks like the Cyndi Lauper one was 1989 & the Roy Orbison version was 92 & archive footage was used.

Well this is odd you're third one has had me coming back to it multiple times, staring at the screen. I know this song and I'm pretty sure it's been covered more than once and maybe even in the past five years.

My brain cells don't normally let me down like this what is going on ?!?!!

*your

Seems like my spelling is off-kilter too!

Some from me, these three have a connection, mid/late 80s, one creeps in early 90 (must've been hungover):

• Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret It breaks my heart to see you crying I don't want to lose you I could never make it on my own*

Make believing
We're together
That I'm sheltered
By your heart

• I'm frightened as much as you Though I'm barely touching you I've shivers down my spine And it feels divine*

Fourth (unconnected, same time frame though):

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late?
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great?

Is the second one I drove all night? Roy Orbison or Cyndi Lauder.

Love the Orbison version, not heard it in so long

Damn you MN, why is my bold not working :(

Oh and your third song's just clicked, honey, it's "Let's Go Round Again" (which is what I've been doing with it all night...) by Average White Band!

It must have been love by Rosette

And the 4th one is Drive by The Cars

Sorry that was @SimplySteveRedux

Here's another, 80s

Off on your way, hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the Spirit ever lingers
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude

Rush - The Spirit of Radio :)

Yes to both, it's Roxette but I'll let you off :)

@SimplySteveRedux

Autocorrect error! And correct to Rush, well done

@SimplySteveRedux Well done for Lets go round again 👍😊 (it was mine, not Honey's 😁)

@SimplySteveRedux your other one is First Time by Robin Beck (coca cola ad)

We should have a Friday night special later.. just one for now..

80s
I was halfway home, I was half insane
And every shop window I looked in looked just the same

[quote Honeyroar]@SimplySteveRedux your other one is First Time by Robin Beck (coca cola ad)[/quote]
Nope, neither of my other two.
