Damn. Knew both of those. Not sure of the second one. Grrr

Can't quote as it's already a quoted post, but
@NeedToKnow101 I think you'll find its 112

Actually, I made it 121, but I'll bow to your superior maths skills.

I'm also going to award you 75 bonus points because I love your scheming mind sooooo much, plus how much joy your dastardly plan brought you plus the message you hoped to leave.

However I'm docking you 20 points for your woeful grammatical error - whose/who's. Tsk

I used to quite like The Fall, I remember Mr Pharmacist? Think they should Sister Sledge alone though 🤔

*leave

To be fair, there are VERY FEW cover versions that I like.

I sense a theme approaching.

Bonus points for knowing both versions

Someone did an pretty awesome version of this, does anyone know who?

You are only coming through in waves
You're lips move but I can't hear what you are saying

Original 70s

Cover 00's I think

Oh flouncer, now it looks like your idea !

Anyone posting tragedy and suggesting steps is superior to the bee gees will be barred from the thread.

(Not really, but they'll be forever dead to me)

It does doesn't it!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Scissor sisters.

Love it and original floyd versions

Comfortably numb, ntw

Btw

Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

Correct flouncer

Before you won my heart
You were the perfect guy
But now that you’ve got me
You wanna leave me behind

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Original and at least two cover artists please!

I almost love you 😍 .. but not quite.

@NeedToKnow101 Come on baby light my fire by The Doors and Will Young. I’m having that at my funeral!

🙌🏼 😍 there's some brilliant versions in between @Honeyroar .. check them out.. I'll link some in a minute...

Our next theme can be our funeral songs (cheery)

All the crimes committed in day by day
No one try to stop it, in anyway

70s. Original and cover.

I like a bit of punk @FlouncerInDenial but I was only 7 in 1977 so was just a mini-punk really.

Open up your eyes

60s and 80s

Presume you're going for cremation..

@Fleamaker123 why in the past tense? The Fall still made excellent albums right up until Mark E Smith's death. Sub-lingual Tablet is wonderful.

I only had a little phase of listening to them in my teens, it's a bit hazy now I only remember the one song! Maybe I should revisit 😊
