Two of the songs are called Stop. No one’s guessed my first one

NeedToKnow101 · 11/12/2020 21:49

@shinynewapple2020

Need to know

So far

Gold - spandau ballet
Forget me not - Patrice rushden
Tears dry on their own - Amy winehouse

Can't see any link there !

It's a very abstract link at the moment tbh ..

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Colours needtoknow? Gold and Amy's song is from the back to black album? That's quite tenuous
No sorry

I've just seen needtoknow's post suggesting Honey's theme is cheating. Well, needtoknow would know!

zaphodbeeble · 11/12/2020 21:56

Crazy sheep let them know what you’re all about

It is Motown so nearly there... although actually by mistake it's the wrong song and doesn't fit my theme at all. It's a complete red herring Grin..

Honeyroar · 11/12/2020 22:05

@shinynewapple2020

No.
shinynewapple2020 · 11/12/2020 22:07

Both really !! Is it the name of the Marvin Gaye song ?

Or just generally ....

NeedToKnow101 · 11/12/2020 22:20

No it's not the name of the song, and generally I obviously don't know what's going on, I can't even fit my songs to my theme..
Honeyroar · 11/12/2020 22:31

Can’t believe nobody guessed my third song in the easiest theme ever!

zaphodbeeble · 11/12/2020 22:34

Stop by the Spice Girls

NeedToKnow101 · 11/12/2020 22:40

So the theme is stop?

Is your theme that the songs are from films ? [/quote]
Yes!

"Riding through the city on my bike all day
'Cause the filth took away my licence
It doesn't get me down and I feel okay
'Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless"

I think is Lily Allen - LDN?

Correct! 🙌🏼😘

Nobody got

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

From my four yet.

SimplySteveRedux · 11/12/2020 22:53

No idea what your link is @NeedToKnow101 clearly I need more beer to work it out...

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 11/12/2020 22:54

So needtoknow has a load of songs with a theme except one that isn't the theme? So, cheating again.
Case rests
