I know, you’re right that the words almost fit the tune, it’s just the thought of pneumatic drills and ripped up concrete in biblical times!😄

midgebabe · 18/12/2020 21:25

That s how I knew I was going wrong , thus preventing a major embarrassing wrong answer

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/12/2020 21:25

@midgebabe I helped with the school party. I swear it went on for 2 days rather than 2 hours 🤣

I am almost having a party , as next week all management are out and I will probably only work my hours and get work done

Only almost as already in bed!

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 18/12/2020 21:35

So bring your good times, and your laughter too
80s

All across the world
In every nation
80s

Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
70s

Sorry everyone else

midgebabe · 18/12/2020 21:36

He drinks a whiskey drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a larger drink
He drinks a cider drink

He sings songs that remind him about the good times
He sings songs that remind him about the bad times .....hum

midgebabe · 18/12/2020 21:40

I am just seeing singing muffins

Vanilla with butter cream icing and strawberries on top

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/12/2020 21:42

I actually bought muffins today, blueberry and some double chocolate

midgebabe · 18/12/2020 21:44

Now that's sounds a good combination

Honeyroar · 18/12/2020 21:45

Midge your head is hysterical sometimes.

You’re nearly there with my one. Practically all the remaining lines have the title in them...

shinynewapple2020 · 18/12/2020 21:47

@CoffeeBeansGalore
Is your last one that's entertainment by the jam ?

Honeyroar · 18/12/2020 21:48

This ones for Midge.

On a silent summers evening
The sky’s alive with lights
A building in the distance
Surrealistic sight
(80s)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/12/2020 21:49
