NOTHING is as good as our thread, Flea
Amen to that

It is a bit too addictive though. I think I might have to join MA in the new year, Mumsnet Anonymous

Reposting from this morning (and including the one I forgot to post with the pack):

Here you go, gang. Nice easy songs with a nice easy theme.
Perfect for a Saturday.
Enjoy x

I was always thinking
games that I was playing
trying to make the best of my time
Originally 70s covered in the 90s. Bonus points if you can name both and double bonus points if your favourite version matches mine.

You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
90s
Achy Breakey Heart, Billy J Cyrus, got by Flea

Praise with elation, praise every morning
70s
Morning has Broken by Cat Stevens got by Shiny

I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain us
Eyes that lie
60s This one looks hard, but the song's got a very distinctive sound. Don't slam the door on this one assuming you don't know it!

But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
80s
Queen, I want to break free, got by coffee.

The road behind was rocky
But now you're feeling cocky
You look at me and you see your past
Is that the reason why you're runnin' so fast?
80s
Break My Stride, Matthew Wilder got by Flea

I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor, I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone, and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared
80s
Hard Habit to Break which IS by Chicago not whoever Flea said, got by Flea

I was your clown
70s
Don't go breakin' my heart by Elton John and Kiki Dee, got by coffee

I love the work on it can do

Oh change of mind
Oh change of mind
70s

Theme of breaking in all the titles. i can post more lyrics if you need them?

You're not addicted, needtoknow. You just... y' know... like to have a bit of time on here every now and again. Not doing any harm. You could give it up any time...

NeedToKnow101... Your Eastenders tribute, nothing to do with Barbara Windsor is it??

Ooo. That would be topical!

@Fleamaker123

NeedToKnow101... Your Eastenders tribute, nothing to do with Barbara Windsor is it??

Yes!!!! At last!! well done! 🙌🏼 😘yes it was my tribute to Barbara Windsor.. will explain my songs in a bit unless someone else wants to untangle my thought process. RIP Dame Babs! ❤️

Exactly ElfShelf I only check this thread 20 million times a day anyway..

That was jammy I can't really take credit for guessing any lyrics 😂🤣
RIP Barbara Windsor

While our spouses sob at the lack of attention, our pets aren't exercise, our children are starving, we all ran out of clean pants back in the summer and our houses are falling down round our ears. (Literally in FlouncingB's case!)
But we're not doing any harm.....

Lovely idea for a theme

I don't care if it was jammy, I'm just glad someone got it! 😍😍😍

Amy Winehouse was because they were friends (thank you Wikipedia)
Spandau Ballet because Eastenders and the Krays
One song was rogue
Lily Allen LDN because she was a proper Londoner
and Forget-me-nots, because of her illness and because she won't be forgotten. ❤️
