@midgebabe

Random one because I have just seen the band name 1980

I've been here half an hour and I'm getting thirsty

Don't believe this has been got. Reminded of it by the band name of the just get up again song

due to the way this song is mostly just the title over and over again, so the additional lyrics and a different verse

I'll have some picked onions and a little bit of cheese please

shinynewapple2020 · 18/12/2020 22:04

Midge babe

Your song is something like

2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps please

perditaplum · 18/12/2020 22:09

What to do: shake it, shake it.

midgebabe · 18/12/2020 22:11

That is the song. The band name just made me laugh , if you get the first letter and the roughly correct number of any random letters after, you will get points as I will never be able to check inyiu are correct

shinynewapple2020 · 18/12/2020 22:16

I don't know who sang (shouted?) it midge

midgebabe · 18/12/2020 22:17

Copy and paste

Splodgenessabounds

Honeyroar · 18/12/2020 22:25

Yes Splodgenessabounds. I’d never have known that, but it was on Pountless the other day!

Correct Shiny for Tubthumping and correct Midge for Echo Beach (Martha and those damn muffins!)

Honeyroar · 18/12/2020 22:27

Perditaplum what decade is yours? It doesn’t ring any bells.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/12/2020 09:33

@perditaplum Not a clue, sorry. Can we have the decade & another line please? Or is it something as simple as Shake it?

1980s northern band.
perditaplum · 19/12/2020 09:41

What they told you is not to be
But what you want comes naturally

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/12/2020 09:43

@perditaplum Salt n Pepper? there was a line which went "Shake it real good"? (Not sure if they were Northern though 😁)

OP posts:
perditaplum · 19/12/2020 12:24

No, not Salt N Pepper. It is a duo though.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/12/2020 14:58

Sorry @perditaplum you have me stumped! Someone will get it later 😊

perditaplum · 19/12/2020 15:14

The word 'shake' does not appear in the title, nor does it have anything to do with pineapples Grin

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/12/2020 15:40

Not Black Lace then 🤣

OP posts:
Honeyroar · 19/12/2020 16:14

I don’t know it either!

NeedToKnow101 · 19/12/2020 16:26

I don't know it either ..

Easy one...

Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad
Happy or sad
70s

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Credit me with some taste please Grin

Sheffield.....

midgebabe · 19/12/2020 16:33

Let's let's stick together possibly with a female singer

midgebabe · 19/12/2020 16:34

I am guessing Sheffield and pineapple are clues but I am still drawing a blank, although I now have a picture in my head of a lady with a large fruit hat in a dingy Sheffield nightclub

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 19/12/2020 17:20

Human league were Sheffield?????
