Apologies if I have missed anyone. Let me know if you spot any omissions 😊

Is the OMD one Souvenir?

The Shouldn’t even think about tomorrow one is I’m so excited by Rhe Pointer Sisters.

Oops I’m behind Shiny and the Elf for Pointer sisters!!

Elf and shiny, surely honey!

Frankly, I think you're overly generous to include shiny at all.

Some lyrics and a theme !

So slide over here and give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
80s

And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how so I feel
80s

They tell me you're shy boy
But I want you just the same
80s

I don't wanna hurt you baby
I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground girl
70s

Sail away I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating
90s

But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
70s

She wanted to take it further
So she arranged a place to go
70s

Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
80s

I want him for myself
I wanna lock him down
I want that ring on my finger
Like I want that crown

Point for the title , point for the artist

One of my kind inxs for your first one

@midgebabe it's INXS but that's not the title

Dh says need you tonight

I say he does not need you tonight

'They tell me you're shy boy
But I want you just the same '
Let's hear it for the boy - Deniece Williams?

I know the one before that as well, think NtN think!

Yes I know that one too and its driving me mad

Sort of flat
Next line
Tell me now how does it feel

@midgebabe

Oh it's New Order!

Good team effort @midgebabe - Temptation I think it's called..

And anticipating is very clearly enunciated

Or Blue Monday maybe.. my brain's hurting today..

Blue Monday

It's not that one sorry

@NeedToKnow101 correct with Blue Monday

And @midgebabe your DH is correct with Need you tonight

@CoffeeBeansGalore

You know the song but that is not the title. Keep trying 😊

Yes, I thought I wouldn't name the song so soon that's what they all say

The 80s Sheffield duo was Cabaret Voltaire with I Want You.

My heart going boom boom boom
"Son, " he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."
late 70s (is that allowed?)

Don't be shy!! Tell us..!

He said the band name sound like synchronised sex.

Correct to Pointer Sisters 👍😊

They tell me you're shy boy
But I want you just the same
80s

Gloria Estefan 1 2 3

Perdita’s is Sailsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel

My heart going boom boom boom
"Son, " he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."
late 70s (is that allowed?) - Yes.

And I can hear this one, male, sounds similar to Phil Collins but obviously not. Argggh

Well done Honey!
