Let's let's stick together possibly with a female singer
Nearly the right song title, and my version has a male singer, but who cares 😍😘

I never forget my lovely jarvis, midge. 💕💕💕💕

I was thinking 80s, and pulp are more 90s.
I'll admit to forgetting def leopard and joe cocker

No it's Al Green, Let's stay together.. did Heaven 17 do a version?

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
No, it's nothing to do with pineapples. It's a male duo and not the Human League and it's not Heaven 17 either. A bit of a cabaret act perhaps?
CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/12/2020 18:16

Pet Shop Boys? Erasure?

Although neither are cabaret & my geographical knowledge is shockingly bad 😄

Pop cabaret duo in the 80s from Sheffield?????

This is starting to sound very niche.

And chance of a few more lyrics. You've stumped us, @perditaplum

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 19/12/2020 18:24

Chas n Dave - london
Bros - London
Wham - london

Go west? Was that a band? 🤯

Sorry. Should have said ANY chance and included a question mark at the end

The lyrics are quite repetitive so I'm running out of choices now:

Watching it again, this potion here
Watch you doing it, explain it here
What they told you is not to be
But what you want comes naturally

midgebabe · 19/12/2020 18:32

If you slip the title accidentally into the lyrics will I recognise it?

i already have.
midgebabe · 19/12/2020 18:37

Oh. Dear.

perditaplum · 19/12/2020 18:38

@midgebabe

Oh. Dear.
Read back and I've given a fairly big hint Grin Maybe I should up the voltage a bit and give another?
ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 19/12/2020 18:39

You've beaten us all plum. Was this a hit or just something you heard inside your head?

perditaplum · 19/12/2020 18:41

Actually I just realised I haven't slipped the song name into the lyrics. I thought I had but just noticed that the song title isn't actually in the lyrics. I'll close the door on my way out Blush

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 19/12/2020 18:41

My DH comes from just outside Sheffield, although 80s not really his era. He can't think of a male duo cabernet band and tentatively suggested wham

P.s. you know if I'm asking DH, the sound of the bottom of a barrel being scraped is echoing around
